Summer Fun

We have been having so much this summer now that we are settled in our new home. Here are some of the things we have been up to....



At the pond with Mema, Auntie D, Uncle Brian and Lizzie.



Playing trains with Grandma and Grandpa Trevor.



Camping with my buddy Baby Jackson.



On a date with Mom raspberry picking.



Riding the Thomas train with Mom and Dad.



Coloring at the Thomas festival.



Riding mini train cars with Dad.



Working the digger with Mom.

It has been a fun summer. Will has really been coming along and it is amazing watching him learn so many new things. He really likes to sing right now and his favorite songs are ABC, Baa Baa Blacksheep, and an occasional Itsy bitsy spider.

Two!!!!!!

We celebrated Will's second birthday a few weeks back and we are behind, but we have had a bit going on. In the last month or 2 we have bought a house, moved, sold a condo, adopted a cat, and that is just the big stuff.

He had a great time at his pool party, here are some pics. Special thanks our family members who helped make his second birthday a really fun time for us and the kids.



Ready for my big day.....



Holding hands with Uncle Brian.....



In the pool with cousin Lizzie and cousin Zoe. This was the best picture I have of the three of them in the pool, surprisingly nobody was willing to pose and look at the camera.



Cousin Lizzie and Cousin Zoe in the pool, cooperating for the camera.



Delicious birthday cupcakes baked by Grandma Barbara. Yummie!



Opening presents with Mom.....

Thanks so much to our family and friends, for all the great gifts. Special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Trevor for hosting the party and all the work they did.

BIG NEWS!

We haven't blogged much lately because really, nothing new has been going on at all.
But today, something REALLY BIG happened. Will made a pee-pee in the potty at school today. Great success! We are super proud of our big boy, and as soon as we configure our tech gear, we'll put pictures up.

:-)

Will where have you been?

It has been a long time since we have blogged but I was told we still have some followers. While we have been gone Will has been doing lots of new things....

He knows all his letters (still has a little trouble with V and Y though), he waters plants, feeds the cat, makes coffee, vacuums and he is talking up a storm. He is very independent right now and we here "Will do" all the time meaning Will wants to do it. Now if Will doesn't get to do that can be trouble, tantrums are also part of the action. Still getting used to that.....

Will hanging with his buddy Curious George at the museum.



With all the recent rain we have had Will is very concerned with flooding, erosion, and the affect its having on local wildlife. He wanted to get a water sample but this request was denied.



Will doing some "rocking" which is the act of picking up a rock examining it and moving it to a new location. Must be some purpose to this but I haven't figured it out.



Will and Dad enjoying some miso soup or "doup".



Getting bigger every day....

Gettin Smart!

Will has been making leaps and bounds with his words the last few weeks. He can almost have a conversation on the phone now. Maybe not the most intelligent conversation but probably more intelligent than some conversations I have had. He is also starting to recognize books by name and identify things on flashcards, it is very exciting. On the negative side he loves to slam doors, tries to lock you out of the house if you put him in and don't get in the door quick, and he is climbing everything. He doesn't seem to understand "No" which is odd because I am sure we say that word to him more than most other words. We will keep trying....

Here is a video of a phonecall we had with Grandpa Bill and Grandma Barbara. Will is a bit suprised when Petey the dog joins the conversation.
