Roar!

Will's first Halloween was a success. Despite his poor naps today, we dressed up our tired little lion for a night on the town. He was adorable, but his costume was so itchy. We made it to the Morrison's (Pop's house) where Rachel, Bradshaw and all of their family were having dinner. Then we headed to Grammy and Grandad's house before seeing Uncle Jeff and Aunt Lauren. He was so tired he fell asleep on the way to each place. We had seen Mimi and Jimmy earlier in the day, but he wasn't in his costume for long there. We came home and he crashed. Our little lion is in his den.

The Pumpkin "Patch"

We didn't go to a real patch because what could a 7-month old do there? Instead we went to our local produce stand to take pictures of Will. The weather had not cooperated for us (too warm) several times and we didn't want him to be wearing shorts in his first fall picture. But last week we took his picture and he almost crashed from exhaustion. He just wanted to take a nap, but it was too close to bedtime for that.

The rest of the the pictures as well as other recent ones are online at our Picasa site. The link is to the right.

Will's Laptop - Oct. 25

So, Will can almost sit up now and I thought that I should get him some toys besides the million stuffed animals he has. Unfortunately I went to Walmart looking for soft blocks and I couldn't find any. I did find a laptop though, which makes a LOT of noise. Will isn't quite sure what to do with it, but I think he'll figure it out eventually.

Bathroom Entertainment - Oct. 22

Last week I needed to clean out my closet which would take a lot more time than Will would typically give me in one sitting, so I moved his Entertainer upstairs. He loved it in a location and I got so much done. Had I thought about it earlier, the house would be a lot cleaner because he is fascinated that his toys go from room to room. He is getting so talkative too and it is precious to hear him talking to his toys.

Will and Lucy - October 13

At first, Lucy liked Will, then he pulled her hair one day and she wanted nothing to do with him after that. From then on, it has been a one-sided relationship. Will laughs at Lucy and Lucy ignores Will. He pays so much more attention now to the things around him, even things he sees everyday. So it was neat to watch him watch her while we played. He looked like he was at a tennis match.
