Yee-Haw

Maryann and I took the kiddos to the Livestock show today with our MOPS (Mothers Of PreSchoolers) group. Our group went as a field trip, so we were lucky to get free tickets and free parking. Here are some picks of the cowgirls and cowboy.

Fun Weekend

This weekend we had so much fun catching up with old friends. William and I had lunch with two of my best high school friends, Kelley and Christie, on Saturday. Kelley was in town from North Carolina and Christie from Dallas.




Then we went to an engagement party on Saturday night for one of Jonathan's good friends, Wally, which brought some other college friends in town (Reid, Barron, Ben and Morgan). We then all went to breakfast this morning before the group headed back to Dallas. Here are some pictures of the guys and William playing outside the restaurant, which was by a construction site...

Here is William with his redheaded brother from another mother, Barron...

15 Months

William was 15 months old on Friday, so we went to the pediatrician for his check up. He is still 90th percentile for height and 75th for weight. He is definitely a toddler now. He is starting to pick up more and more words. My favorite is when he lifts his shirt and tickles his own belly while saying ticka, ticka, ticka. He is always on the go and would spend all day outside if I let him. He also loves going to the child care center at Lifetime Fitness, lucky for me! After I get him dressed in the morning, he runs to the backdoor, plops down (which means put on my shoes) and waits for me to take him to the gym. He is so much fun and has a great little personality.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Illness Update

William is doing great and I didn't have to give him the antibiotic. He started feeling better on his own, but now Jonathan and I are battling the virus. It's a really bad cold that seems to just linger. I still have a little congestion, but I'm feeling a lot better. Jonathan on the other hand has a full blown sinus infection and feels horrible. He went to see a doctor this morning. He gave Jonathan three prescriptions and two over the counter medications. Hopefully we can all get well once and for all!!

Pitiful William Pictures

We came home from the pediatricians office this afternoon and William just walked in the den, picked up his Tylenol bottle and sat in his chair. He looked so cute and pitiful, I couldn't resist taking a picture. He was exhausted from the doctor's visit, they took blood and swabbed his nose so he cried pretty much the whole time we were there. He has a high fever, yucky nose, cough and just looks like he feels horrible. The doctor said he has a viral infection that is turning into a bacterial infection. If he's not feeling better by tomorrow, then I have a prescription for antibiotics to start him on. I knew things were getting bad when he wouldn't eat. Hopefully he will be on the up and up soon!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Today was Jonathan's 28th birthday! He celebrated by going back to work after some nice time off for the holidays. Happy Birthday Jonathan!

William Update: William is full out walking/running now. He is into carrying things all over the house. I find toys, books, clothes, etc. randomly laying around. He has also mastered his baby sign language, he can do the signs for "all done," "eat" and his favorite..."more." He is out of control with the "more" sign, he thinks every time he does it he should get more of what he wants and cries when he doesn't get it. I have been working on getting him to understand, no more. He is also into waving at cars, people, animals...I just can't get him to wave on command yet. He is babbling more, he has started saying du for duck, ba for ball and an occasional bye-bye. Sometimes he will have a whole conversation with you in babble. He has figured out that clapping is good and loves to dance. His dancing usually consists of a solid bounce move, a double hand pump, clapping and a full body twist...watch out ladies! He's a little bit of a hand full, but a lot of fun.
