Turks and Caicos

During Spring Break, we took a trip with A's family to Turks and Caicos. We stayed at Beaches Resort, which I highly recommend! Very family-oriented, but great for adults as well! We quickly discovered that our child is obsessed with water. He loved being in the water!! There was a lazy river (that was freezing cold!), a kid's water park, and many other things to do. We had a blast and are so glad we took him with us.

This was taken seconds before a wave took Will out (and he didn't even cry!)

We had a great time!!!!

1 Year Check Up

On March 17, we had Will's 1 year check up. My chunky monkey weighs 26 lbs and is almost 32" long. We have a big boy on our hands!

At 1 year, Will is:

• Walking/Running


• Says "mama", "dada"


• Waves to everyone


• Has 8 teeth (4 top, 4 bottom)


• Finally sleeping through the night (thank the Lord!!!)


• Is on whole milk (Saving some $$$ on formula!)


• Loves water (bathtime, playing outside in the water, etc)

He loves to eat (cheerios, yogurt, waffles, goldfish, apples, bananas, pears, Gerber Graduate meals, pasta, chicken, taco meat, rice, and beans are a few of his favorites). There are very few things he will not eat.

He loves playing outside and going for walks with me. We can spend hours outside and he is so happy. He gets so mad when we bring him in!

I love this child more than anything. He makes us laugh each day. Austin and I are constantly amazed by how much he is learning and changing every day!

What a Mess!

My little man started walking in January, right around 10 months. He is now RUNNING everywhere and ridiculously hard to keep up with. He is so much fun right now though, his personality is really starting to show. He loves to dance, loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates (Disney), and LOVES when his daddy gets home each evening! In February, Will came down with Hand/Foot/Mouth disease (along with quite a few of his classmates). It was the worst week of our lives. Poor baby ran a high temp, was absolutely miserable, would not eat or drink for a few days. In this picture, you can see some of the spots on his face. All spots are now clear, thank goodness! Someone gave him this backpack at my baby shower. We put it on him the other night and he loved running around with it!
