News from the Zoo: April 2011

Spring has finally arrived in Springboro! It's been a long and difficult winter for the Taylor and Handy families but with each day things get better. I am finally on spring break and enjoying my time with William. And counting the days until summer when I can spend every day with him.

William will be 8 months old next week. The time has gone too fast! He is somewhere around 20lbs now and finally has hair. It's fairly blond so it's hard to see in his pictures. He's rolling like a pro now. He gives kisses that melt your heart. Thankfully saliva doesn't melt anything or I'd be faceless! Everything goes in his mouth and he doesn't care a bit what it is as long as it will fit. No teeth yet but he's working on it. He loves to suck on his toes and hear his nails scratching things. He can sit up with a little help from mama or daddy. It won't be long! His new best friend is Timmy the Turtle. He got Timmy at the aquarium and adores him! He still thinks his puppies and kitties are the best though. He loves to watch them and pet them when they go by. He's a tremendous blessing every day and brings joy that's simply unimaginable.

Steve and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary and were able to celebrate in a more timely fashion this year. We spent the day at the aquarium with William. He loved it and we loved watching him. I'm not sure I even saw the fish, I couldn't take my eyes off of him! We did have a date that night thanks to Grammy and Pa.

Grandma (my mom) sees Will most every day now and he lights up when she walks in. She isn't strong enough yet to hold him unless she's sitting but she helps feed him and dress him now when she's here and makes him smile all over. It's a blessing to see them together. I've waited a lifetime it seems to see that. God is good!

Steve's parents ... well Grammy and Pa would swear William Wayne hung the moon! And he thinks maybe they did. He loves his Grammy and Pa!

Here are some pictures from our last couple of months. Enjoy!
