Summer Fun

Will's been having some fun this summer.  We got him a swing and Daddy and our neighbor hung it over the 4th of July. We hung it on the carport so we can swing rain or shine.  He loves it!!

Hanging the swing.

Testing it to assure Mom it will hold!

Hi dad!

Weee! This is fun!!

The swing is cool!

Mommy bought him a slide this week.  He loved that too!

I'm waiting, let's go!

Fun!!

Again,again!!

What's that?

What's that?

I want to touch that!

I can reach it!

Steering!

Tasting!

And he got to swim in the big pool at our neighbor's house.  Earlier in the day we put his feet in and he wasn't thrilled but when he got in with Daddy he had a blast.  He liked the water and kept dipping his hand in and then sucking the water from it.  Before they got out Steve took him out of his float and they splashed.  He really liked that!  He would splash and then giggle and do it again! I think he could have swam all night.

Ready to swim!

The water is warm dad!

Peek-a-boo!

Will is still enjoying his music class.  I'll have some pictures soon to share from class. He is also enjoying the library so much and story time once a week.  We recently visited the Franklin Public Library because our library here in Springboro doesn't have much of a children's area.  We loved it!  They have a huge area for toddlers to be down on the floor.  Will still loves to look at books and will sit on your lap and look at books for quite awhile.  He also enjoys a book in the shopping cart with him, and in the tub, and on his changing table, and on his highchair ... my baby boy is a bookworm already!

Will is becoming more mobile each day.  Before summer is over I imagine my days will be spent chasing a little boy!  We enjoy watching him explore and figure things out. 

Ready to go!

We didn't take Will to the fireworks this year.  It was a hard decision but he had another ear infection and is teething so we decided to pass this year and get him to bed on time.  Next year should be fun!

Happy 4th of July!

Will and I are enjoying our summer and our time together.  We hope this finds you enjoying your summer too!

Blessings!

Late Nights and Birthdays

William was pretty sick the week before last.  His fever finally broke on Friday and although the snot began to flow he felt better with the fever gone.  We had been waking him every 3 hours for several nights for Motrin and Tylenol and were looking forward to an early and quiet night.  William, however, had other ideas!  He had a short nap (when he should have been down for the night) and was full of energy.  At 11pm I gave up trying to convince him it was bedtime and we went to his playroom.  We had a blast!  About midnight he finally began to tire and rub his eyes and a sleepy mom put him to bed!

Bo came to join the party!

This is what I think of bedtime!

Wanna play?

I'm not tired!

More toys!

Hi Mom!

Just hangin' out.

Found your camera!

OK, now I'm tired ...

Mom's birthday was yesterday.  I make her cake every year (chocolate cake with homemade hard caramel icing).  This year I had help! Will had so much fun with his bowls and spoons and we made grandma's cake together.  Mostly Will just made noise!!

This is fun!

Here's a bowl Bo, help us!

I got something on my hands...

Laying down on the job.

We wish you all a blessed and happy Fourth of July!
