From this past week.

He doesn't use his charm to get what he wants at all....(total sarcasm). What you can't see here is William standing on a toy that he's climbed on top of. He's become a little monkey (like father, like son).

I'm not doing anything wrong Mom...I swear!

Aren't I cute Mom???

Look what I can do Mom!

Where did Daddy go???

PARTY TIME!!!

We decided this was a good weekend to celebrate William's first birthday. He has homemade banana cake and his grandparents came up as well as Uncle Rob, and Betsy & Nick as well. We were going to have smoked brisket, but that was slightly delayed. After it still wasn't done at 5pm (when it was started at 8am) we decided to order pizza. Guess Dave, William and I will have a great lunch tomorrow - sorry you all had to miss it!

I'm number ONE!!! (see his left hand)

IT'S JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED!!! THANKS DAD & GRANDPA DON!!!

What do you mean the box wasn't my gift??? THIS is my gift?

Eeewwww....What's this Uncle Rob?

OK - this is kinda fun...

Oh yeah ladies - you wanna piece of this cake don't ya?!?!?

Banana cake? No - I'm talking about the beef cake!

Raspberry tries to sneak in a few licks...

It's fun to play in...and it doesn't taste too bad either.

Ok -I'm done... I need a baba and a bath.

William had his bath at 8pm, but was on a sugar-high afterwards. He was a lot of fun to listen to and watch. Babbling, talking and playing deliriously until about 9:45pm when we finally just put him in his crib. He was exhausted and didn't fight us or cry, but he played a little and passed out after about 10 minutes.

Pearly Whites

With 7 teeth now, we have been working on being more diligent with our oral hygiene. This is easier said than done for Mommy & Daddy. We aren't that great at remembering yet. I'm the one usually doing the morning and bedtime routines, so you'd think I'd remember to do it - not so. And William tends to fight me more and more. The only time he's happy now is if he gets to do it himself. Once I turn it over to him, he's a happy camper.

Happy Birthday Grandma

We went south last weekend for Grandma Karyn's birthday, and to see Uncle Mike (back from NC). How did we not get back with any pictures with Uncle Mike??? Must have taken them on Grandma's camera.

Goofin' with Cousin Sutton. He loves playing with me.

Rowan looks like he's up to something...

Cheeeeeese...
