Baby Parade

Yesterday I went walking with a group of other moms from church. It was nice to get out and exercise and socialize a little at the same time. It must have been quite a sight to see six moms with their babies and toddlers parading around the neighborhood. We passed a construction crew, and one of the guys yelled out, "Baby Boom!" That was kind of funny, especially since the people there yesterday didn't even represent half of the babies that have been showing up at church lately. Anyway, I enjoyed the chance to get out, and I think William did too. He was pretty excited to be around all those babies! They ranged in age from not quite one month to just over a year. He's fasinated with babies, which is nice, but I wish he knew to be more careful around them. Hopefully his interest will last long enough for him to be excited when another baby shows up at our house, and hopefully by then he will have learned how to be more gentle.

Something...

Well, it's been a while since I wrote anything, so I thought I should write something. So here it is, a big SOMETHING. :) Things are going pretty well here. I don't really know what to write to you all about... so, I guess that's all for now. I'll let you know when I have something exciting to talk about.

This is a big spider that crawled up on my back porch this morning. There's a penny there for size reference. William was really excited about it and sat there saying "ber!" (his version of "spider"). It stayed in that spot for about ten minutes. I think it was having a staring contest with that little pebble. Apparently the pebble won.

These pictures were taken a while ago, but I've been a little slow to upload pics lately. William loves climbing in boxes, so we gave him a couple and cut doors and windows in them. Here he's playing peek-a-boo with me.

Ah-ha!

It was a little breezy, so we had to protect our little flames with the back pack. If you notice, William got a bit of a head start with the cupcakes, and he's still holding the evidence!

Here's a picture of William openning one of his gifts. Notice the two little people standing next to him ready to give a hand if needed? Aren't they helpful!

William's Party

Wednesday we had a birthday party for William. I did take some pictures, but for some reason my computer and camera are not feeling very compatible this morning. So no pics for now! Hopefully it won't take long for this issue to be resolved and I can post some pictures later.

As for the party... Well, some things went very well, and some not, but all in all, it turned out pretty good. I had been worried about the weather since it had been raining a lot and we were planning to have his party at a park, but the sun came out and it was really nice weather for the party. Everyone was late, but that was okay since we were running a little behind anyway. The kids had a lot of fun chasing each other around the park, and they all wanted to "help" William open his presents. William on the other hand opened his first present and was suddenly not very interested in the others. I had to hide all the opened presents until he was done. He's been haveing a lot of fun with his new toys and books. Personally I'm glad he only has one birthday per year. :)
