A fun age!

This is our William boy at 6 months! He is getting so big, I'm guessing about 15ish pounds. He has recently mastered rolling over and can't get enough of it. He loves playing with toys and being played with. William is extremly ticklish and giggles all the time. He just cut two bottom teeth last week and now thinks he should eat whatever we are eating. He has tried and liked: tomatoes, bread, steak, nectarine, apple, pineapple, cantaloupe, spaghetti, olives, lime and lemon...this list will never end I'm sure! He is such a joy and anyone who sees him is amazed at how happy he is all the time. We feel so blessed and love being parents!
There are also a couple of pics from the 4th of July. My dad was in the parade because of his
Veteran status. I love you Dad and am so proud of you.

Camping at the lake

This is from our trip to Flaming Gorge with the Athens family. William enjoyed it because he loves being outside. He however was not a huge fan of taking a bath in 68 degree water! It made him hyperventilate.

WOW, 5 months!

William turned 5 months old on friday. He can now rollover both directions and front to back and back to front, he loves his cereal, he jibber-jabbers all the time, he is so happy and he is starting to get a little chubby. Just last week he found his tongue and so it is constantly sticking out. We are loving this age, he is so full of personality. He is also getting his 2 bottom teeth! He is growing up too fast.

I just really love this picture. I was just off the plane and home from Tahiti. I love these girls!

Wow! 4 months already.

William is 4 months old as of yesterday and we can hardly believe it! He is growing and changing everyday. He is currently teething, trying desperately to cut his 2 bottom teeth. He also has started holding on to toys and of course, tasting them. He just got an activity center and it's really helping him with his hand-eye coordination. He also loves to squeal, it's not a cry or a laugh, it's a strange inbetweener noise. He has started sleeping through the night! He wakes up once or twice but just needs his bink and then he is out again. We are loving watching him grow and develop and being an integral part of that. We look forward to all that is to come!

This is how a very fair skinned baby plays outside!

He is skinny despite the cereal with fruit we give him twice a day.

He has also just really discovered his feet and he loves them.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture. It's totally him, he is such a happy baby.

Happy birthday my love!

Andy, you are the love of my life and I'm so happy that we are sealed together for all eternity. I can't believe that it's already your birthday again! We met 2 years ago tomorrow, 2 days after I got home from Tahiti. I didn't know that you would be the most important person I'd ever meet, but I do now. I love you so much, and I admire you for all that you are. You are an amazing daddy, sometimes watching you with William brings tears to my eyes. We are lucky to have you. As a husband, I couldn't ask for anything more (and coming from me you know what that means!). Plus you are HOT! You are so kind and loving, patient and understanding. I admire your faith and endurance. Thank you for loving me. I want you, I need you. Oh baby, oh baby!

Texas and 3 months

William and I went to Texas the first week of April to visit family and have a little vacation. We had a lot of fun. It was warm and sunny most days and we were able to do a lot of shopping! William turned 3 months while we were there. He is getting so big! We started him on cereal this week because we felt like maybe he wasn't getting enough food, plus he was really skinny. He LOVES his cereal with applesauce. He has really started cooing and talking. He also has become quite the drool monster. He just discovered his feet this week and starting to giggle outloud. We are loving it!
