Random Stuff

It has been awhile so here are a few new pictures and stories to go with them.

So here we are doing our serious, I am thinking really hard face.

My cute Iowa T-shirt




More apple picking! William loves little things that he can clinch right in his hand. We picked a few Iowa peaches from our peach tree awhile back and they are very little- perfect for little baby hands. However, anytime I would try to take them from him- he threw a huge fit-like the end of the world was coming fit- so now whenever it looks like he is becoming attached to something we call it a possible "peach situation". So see above and how happy he is with his little apples- it was nearly a peach situation but I was eventually able to trade them out for something else- probably a cell phone, remote, kleenex-something he shouldn't have either but are somehow easier to extract.

I'm cute

Even Cuter



William has learned to sit on his knees- Aunt Anna calls it his praying mantis stance.

We were outside one day on the blanket and I saw a catepillar headed our way. I said to myself boys will be boys and it probably wouldn't kill him to touch the catepillar. It definitely didn't hurt William but the catepillar was definitely tramatized. I kept trying to show him how to just pet the catepillar with his finger but he SOOOOO wanted to pick it up. I am sure you could imagine all that was going on. However, I am glad to announce I did get the catepillar back in the grass still alive!

Grandpa Innis and Uncle Ben

Grandpa brought William a little red wagon. He was determined to give William a ride. However, William didn't quite get the concept of holding on so we used a bungy cord to attach the bouncey seat. Now William was set to go!

Grandpa took William for a ride ALL over the yard. William was just chillin' the whole trip.

The Life of Luxury!


Uncle Ben came for a visit! It was fun!

Food in mouth Uncle Ben not all over my face!

Fun with Friends

Apples!

Apples are abundant at our house. It has been fun to pick apples. And William loves holding them and licking them of course :) The apples have turned out to be pretty good baking apples. I have made apple pies, apple bread and applesauce- all edible I have been told :)

Mischievous Monkey

William is into everything these days. He loves trying to get into whatever looks like it is not for babies. His climbing and standing skills are improving daily. I can't believe he could be walking sooner then later- crazy!

Look how cute I am!

Trapped in my crib!

" What's up here?"

"I shouldn't be doing this?? It is not a step stool? Could have fooled me."


"Pulling out the bottom drawer to the stove isn't a good idea?"


hmmmm- what next?


This looks fun!


Messy Baby!


This looks fun!


What's up here?

"Look mom, I can help unload the dishes"

Loving to Stand

William can pull himself up to almost anything these days. He loves to stand. But no walking yet.

Crawling Pro

William is crawling like a Pro these days. He gets around very easily now and into everything!
