Me and My Buddy

Don't think I've told you yet... Will has 1 tooth and and a half of another one! He is consistently running a low 100 fever, but is doing well considering the fact that foreign sharp objects are poking through his soft gums.

Jeff has been out of town for work all week, so Will and I have been hanging out in the evenings. We miss Daddy, and I know he misses us too. My mom got on me lately saying I haven't been taking as many pictures of Will--TRUE. So I have posted a few more snapshots of things he is blowing me away with. Here, he is sitting by himself. Will totally chilled in the chair for a whole five minutes while I putzed around in the kitchen. It was awesome!















In this next picture, Will is trying to peer over to see what in the world Jones is doing on the ground. Jones was making quite a ruckus while chewing on his new bone.













Below is how Will maneuvered himself in attempt to touch the "crawl ball" toy. He started out sitting and then moved into this three legged crawl position before getting stuck. That right leg just wouldn't budge. It was kinda funny to see him attempt to get something and then scream with frustration.



And yes, Jones is still going to town on his bone in that picture.
Disclaimer: Do I really have to? OK, I do. Obviously, I put a big pillow blocker in front of the big boy while he was sitting in the chair 'just in case' he toppled too far forward (but removed it for the picture). I could see him from everywhere in the kitchen, but there will be a day (not too long from now) when he's too mobile to leave on a chair.

Today will go down in the books as one of the best with Will (so far) for me and Jeff. As he was sitting in his bouncer seat starting to get bored, I went down to sniff his diaper to check if he needed a change (I know, it seems nasty but just wait till you become a mom and do the same thing...haha). When I popped back up, Will started GIGGLING over and over! He let out the cutest belly giggles I've ever heard from this boy! Jeff was working in the office and heard it, so he immediately came down to be close to the hilarious sounds coming from Will. We were in such shock and amazement at how funny it was to hear our boy full out laugh, that we just sat and enjoyed it and played more peek-a-boo with him to get more and more of it. Part of me wishes we'd had the video camera on, but there will be more time for that later. His giggle attack was the best Valentine's gift ever!

On a side note, is this not the weirdest picture ever?! Came across it while looking for some Valentine's images, and I couldn't resist.

Going Private

Freedom of Speech...Something I thought covered almost all elements before Feb. 11, 2010. Long story that is only half of the reason why we need to make the blog private. Due to the weirdos in our world (sad), we have to make the blog private in order to protect this little guy as well as our own opinions and writing. Thank you for continuing to check in on the blog even though it means you will have to sign up for a Google Account. How bogus is that?! I would have picked a different blog site (one that lets readers use any email address to sign in) if I could have predicted the future to know I'd go private. Live & learn! =)
Love,
Jeff and Alyson

Things Will does well:
1. Babbles (loves talking)
2. Smiling
3. Screaming (loves his loud voice)
4. Sitting with a tiny bit of support
5. Playing in his jumper
6. Eating solid foods (LOVES peas -gross- Peas & Green Beans are his favorite so far!)
7. Wrapping mommy & daddy around his finger

Things Will needs to improve upon:
1. SLEEP (he gets a C- in this department)
2. Rolling Over
3. Tummy Time (I'm sure reflux is a bit of a road block here)
