Will is 10 months old!

This little guy is on the move!!  He loves to pull up on everything to stand.  He is cruising a little bit and I think he will be into everything!  He is currently getting one of his top teeth in.

Sleeping--Still all night long.  I am trying very hard to get him to take one nap after preschool pick up, but it's been rough going.  He will cry for 20 minutes or more and then sleep for a while.  Today he actually slept for about an hour, so we are getting there! He still loves to sleep on Daddy on the weekends!

Eating-- At about 9 1/2 months I weaned him to BM 2 times a day.  He woke up at night a few nights after weaning him, but he's fine now.  He is loving eating people food!  He has BM when I wake him up, a banana around 8, then baby food for lunch around 11:30, yogurt around 2:30 and then dinner with us (he will usually just eat what we are eating, plus corn or peas which he loves!) and then BM at bedtime.  My plan is to have him weaned completly by the time Mike and I leave for our Cancun trip the end of May, so in 2 weeks I will wean him to once a day!  He loves to eat EVERYTHING!




Clothes-9-12 mth and 12 mth clothes now.  Wearing 18 month sleepers.  Size 3 diapers still.

AND again it was impossible to keep him still for these pictures AND to just keep him in the chair!

Abbie's wedding

Mike and I headed to Freeport, Tx for one of my BF from college's weddings!  It turned out to be a much needed mini-reunion for our little SWT group of friends.  My friend Merchie said it best that she loves how we all just pick up from where we left off!  The kiddos stayed with Gram and PawPaw for Saturday and Sunday.  It was my first time to leave Will, but he did great and so did I!  

Congrats to Mrs Davenport!















ANd on the way home--our first trip to


Kate's busy week!

On Monday, I got to attend Kate's field trip!  PawPaw watched all the other kids so I could go and be in charge of Kate and 3 of her friends.  It was at Crow's Nest Farm on a beautiful day and we had a great time!

Kate's class
 On Tuesday night, Kate's whole first grade class had a performance at school at the PTA meeting.  She kept telling me that she was swimmy and they couldn't do their performance without her.  I didn't know what that meant, but she was right!  They read a book about a fish named Swimmy and she was the star!  She did a great job!  AND she had the only speaking part!




they sang The Eye of the Tiger




 Then on Thursday, she had girl scouts.  Mike watched the boys so I could go!


they made toys to donate to the animal shelter


On the Friday before, I took the kids to the carnival at Kate's school.
