Anabelle's Biggest Fan

Will enjoyed attending Anabelle's latest dance recital.


"I like sitting way up high in the bleachers!"


"I love watching the tape at home afterwards!"


"But most of all I love the CLAPPING!!!!"

Will looked pretty cute in his spiffy new suit at Michael and Mandy's wedding on Sunday. Thanks for getting him the suit, Mandy, and congratulations!!

Cute, Chubby Cheeks

"Yep, even though I've been working out more -- crawling, cruising, the whole nine yards -- I've still got 'em!!"

I've got lots of pictures from Mandy and Michael's wedding that I'll hopefully by posting later in the week. Stay tuned!!

The Crazy Games Babies Play

Will saw Anabelle and me playing under a blanket and decided he wanted to join in:



It looks pretty strange out of context like that, but here's what led up to it:


"Hey, Daddy! I found you under the blanket!"


"Anabelle?!? You're there, too?"


"I want a turn! I want a turn!"


"Ha ha ha! This is so much fun!! Cover me up again!!!!"

The Saddest Playdate Ever

"Hey, where's everyone going? We have to recreate the pose from last time!"


"C'mon, Sumi! Stop trying to sleep on me! How rude!"


"OK, Mom, I tried but this just isn't working! I think it's time that we--"


"Wow. You know, Sumi, I never realized how beautiful your eyes are before."

Fun at Anabelle's Third Birthday Party

Will had a lot of fun at Anabelle's third birthday party this weekend.


"For some reason, I feel like the center of attention even though it's not my birthday."


"Quick! While she's not looking, I'll make off with Anabelle's keys!!"


"The what gets connected to the what now?"

Will would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that his birthday (his first birthday, no less) is only 50 days away. Start shopping now!!

Happy Birthday, Sis!

"Looks like I win another wrestling match, Sis. Say, what's the date today? May 13th??"


"Well, since it's your birthday today, I guess I can let you have one win as a special treat."


"Hey, no kisses! I never said anything about kisses!! Get off of me! Mom!!!"

Can You Dig It?

"So what is this thing for?"


"OK, I'm holding it by the handle. Now what?"


"How can I dig the sand? I'm sitting on it!"

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy! I love you!!

Will Test Drives Xander's High Chair

"So plush... so comfy... the relaxed, reclined angle..."


"Now this is a sweet high chair!"

Applause!

Will loves a good live show!

10 Months Old

Yep, he's ten months old, all right. Starts out cute and ends up naughty!

Look Who's Crawling

We all thought he would skip right to walking, but Will actually started crawling tonight. He's still a little shaky, but he did it several times in a row. Of course, as soon as we went to get the camera, Anabelle decided she wanted to play with Will, so we weren't able to get many good pictures of him crawling.

Fashion Faux Pas

"Omigosh, that poor kid! He forgot to take the tag off his new jacket before he wore it!!"
