W-I-L-L

He can spell his name!!! We have spelled, written, and spelled some more for as long as I can remember ... W-I-L-L, over and over and over. So, today we are writing in his notebook and I ask Will, "How do you spell your name?" and he answers, "W...I...L..L!" So much fun! He amazes us every day!!!!!!

However, he is as stubborn as his Momma and only does it when he wants to! Like right now, I am asking him to do it, and he is just telling me "No name!" over and over....wow, do we have our hands full!!

Pictures....

We have been quite busy over the last week! Here are a few pictures of our boy and what he has been doing ... he is TALKING LIKE CRAZY! He says anything and everything you ask him to. This is both good and bad, for obvious reasons! We have a very independent child on our hands, too!

Daddy and Will working on their laptops!

Working on his tractor (Patrick's childhood toy)

And on the motorcycle (P's adult toy! HAHA!)

Blowing out his candles on his real birthday - he loves the Happy Birthday song and is still singing it a week later! I cannot believe our baby is 2!

Birthday Celebration!

Yesterday we celebrated our baby boy's 2nd birthday ... we cannot believe tomorrow he will be 2! These have been 2 of the fastest years of my life! Will is so blessed to have so many family members who traveled quite a distance to help him celebrate. We had a Diego cake which he LOVED! Check out the video (at the bottom of this post) - he LOVED being the center of attention when everyone sang to him, and when he got to blow out the candle! He wanted more ... so we sang twice and he blew out the candle twice! And we will do it again tomorrow for his real birthday!He got lots of great gifts and tons of new clothes!! Thank you to everyone who shared in this fun day with us!


Notice at the end he is pointing because he wants to blow out the candle again! He is a mess....

Cuteness!!

Patrick and I think Will is actually starting to figure out his sunglasses. He likes to wear them all the time, but he is finally understanding the reason for wearing them! (Although you can't tell since he is wearing them inside!)

Will and his motorcycle

"Yiting", Bubbles, and new things!

Some of Will's new favorite things....
He constantly asks us for his "penshel" (pencil) and "popper" (paper) so he can "yite" (write). He is definitely my child - look at him being all studious with his book, and his paper & pencil!




Will has always been afraid of my bathtub with the jets - it actually made him cry a while back. I usually ask him if he wants me to push the button in my bathtub to turn on the jets, and I always get a firm "NO!" However he has been taking bubble baths in his bathroom which he loves and he let us turn on the jets last night so he could play in the bubbles...how cute?!?


**************************************************
New things Will is doing:
*"Oh no!" and then tells us something is broken (or boken)
*"Happen?" meaning what happened?
*"Whoa!" when he runs into something, or falls because he is SO CLUMSY!
*"Help, help" -insert Momma or Daddy when he is usually just fine but wants our attention...
*Counting to 10
*Drawing and identifying circles
*He is obsessed with apples, ham, pretzels and peanuts (yes, I know he is little but my grandparents gave him peanuts and he LOVES them - clearly we have no allergy)
