Fishing with Daddy

This afternoon we took Will down to the pond for his first fishing trip. He was pretty cute - so excited, but as with everything in a 2 year old's life the excitement was short lived and he was ready to go....I do think as he gets bigger this will be something he and his Daddy will do often.

Zoo ... see amuls!

This is what we heard the whole way there!! He was so excited to see the animals ... he named all of the animals he knows, and their sounds. It was great watching him, and his excitement! He loved all the animals in the beginning, and as we were there a little longer her got a little tired and distracted...here are some pictures of our day at the zoo!

Daddy and Mommy pictures in our green for St. Patrick's Day!

Catching Up...

Our USB cord to download pictures from the camera to the computer stopped working so that is why I have not posted any recent pictures. Patrick got us a new one today. Miler came and spent the day with us last weekend, and Will has been his usual crazy self ... so here are a few pictures of our boy in the last couple weeks!

Silly boy

Sick boy...or not!

Sunday, Patrick and I went to Lowe's to pick up a few things for the yard. We stopped by YaYa's and Will decided he wanted to stay. When we got back to pick him up, Mom said she thought he was a little warm, so I gave him some Tylenol and put him down for a nap. He had a low grade fever, but woke up from his nap and seemed a little better.....we had dinner at my parents where he wanted nothing to eat, but wanted milk. Bad move. After we ate he was reading a book with Pa, and got up and started walking toward my Mom calling for his "YaYa" in the most pitiful voice ever. YaYa picks him up and he is running fever so we decide to give him some more medicine which he procedes to choke on and then the milk comes back up -- all of it, and most of what he had for dinner too all over poor YaYa. It was bad.....so we clean him up, and go home. A little while later he tries some jello and seems to enjoy it, but it all came back up and got on our couch (red jello!). So he slept with us in our bed that night and I am pretty sure we all got no sleep. I came home at lunch Monday (exhausted and my allergies were killing me) to a child who did not even seem sick! He did, however take a 3 hour nap, which allowed me to get some rest too...whatever it was, it was short lived, thank goodness!!

What's New with Will?

Just wanted to update everyone on what has been going on with us ... we are busy keeping up with Will! He is getting so smart and talking more and more everyday. We are constantly amazed at what he says and does - repeating us, and things he hears on TV. He wants to do everything we do!

What Will is doing:
*Saying "I uv u" - his I love you ... So sweet!
*Playing with his barn - a Lego set he loves
*Eating broccoli
*Wearing his hat and sunglasses
*being Mr. Polite! - he says thank you, you're welcome, and please without being prompted
*Trucks - especially "BIG TRUCK!!" when he sees them out
*Rocco - he loves to hug on Rocco all the time
*Toby (our neighbor Tom's dog) - he says, "Toooby bahk" translation - Toby bark!

I am sure I am leaving something out. The kid is hilarious! We never had any idea how he'd keep us laughing and entertained constantly. Every stage is fun in a new way, and we are LOVING this stage!!

Sorry for no pictures - our USB cord seems to not want to work to download pictures...technology makes me mad sometimes!
