Greetings from William

Hello again Everyone,

William here.  I figured I'd give you an update as to the latest since Mommy's been kinda lazy with the blog lately.  Things have been pretty busy with the summer and we've been out and about doing a lot when it's not too hot to be outside.  Mommy often lets me run around in just my nappy since I don't like it when she puts clothes on me on hot days.  I really like our new home.  Throwing stuff on the hardwood floors makes a lot of noise and I just love to do it over and over again.  Mommy doesn't like it though, and sometimes I get punished if I do it after she tells me to stop.  I have lots more room to play now and we get outside in our back yard a lot so I can run around.

Last week we went out for lunch after Mass.  My favorite part was getting apple juice!  I love apple juice but Mommy usually only gives me water or milk so this was a real treat!  I was a little cranky that day because I was tired, but the apple juice made everything better.

I even got it in a special cup!

Daddy wasn't being very nice though and kept trying to steal it.

 I've also been learning how to feed myself.  Yup, I'm a big boy now.  I can use a fork and I'm trying to figure out how to get the stuff on a spoon.  For some strange reason by the time the spoon gets to my mouth, there's nothing on it anymore.  That's ok, I just like playing with the spoon anyway.  It's also fun to get food on you and it's best when you can get it everywhere.

"Ok, Dad, enough photos!"

 Mum and Dad thought it would be best to throw me in the tub afterwards to clean me up.  I wasn't happy at first, but Daddy played with me and I'm really starting to like bath time now.  I can splash and get Daddy allllllll wet.

This is my newest toy that I found in Nana and Bumpa's garage.  They let me take it home!  I love to ride it and have finally figured out how to get on and off all. by. myself.  I just sign "help" to Mommy if I get stuck and she gets me unstuck.  Of course a ride wouldn't be complete without my blankie.

After dinner Mommy, Daddy and I all say the rosary together and I'm learning how to sit quietly through it.  Sometimes I get bored and start to fuss, but I have my religious books that Mommy lets me look through and that keeps me entertained.  I just love blowing kisses to Jesus and Mary and every time I see a statue or picture of them, I have to blow them kisses.  I love it when Mommy and Daddy tell me stories about Jesus and Mary.  

Here I am before bed saying goodnight to Jesus and Mary.

I'm talking a bit more now and am learning lots of new signs.  My favorite words and signs are cracker, milk, more, Daddy, Mommy, help, food, all done, flower, hi, bye, banana (my most favoritest food in the whole world), and I even started saying Bumpa when I was over at their house playing the last time.  I could see my Bumpa outside working and I wanted him to come back in and play with him.  He's lots of fun.

Ok well, it's time for lunch so I think I'll just toddle off to the kitchen to see what I can find.  Hope everyone has a good week!

Love,

William
