Fall...

We have had a great fall so far, other than all having colds! Wills loves playing outside this time of year - he loves the leaves and the sticks, especially.

Grandpa Frank came to visit earlier this month and we took Wills to the zoo. His favorite animals are the "girapp" (giraffe), the elephant, and of course, the "panna bear" (panda bear). We also had a great visit with my family over Thanksgiving - they all came here to celebrate!

2 year old pics

We took Wills yesterday to get some 2 year old pictures. I seriously didn't think that any of them would be salvageable...but believe or not, we got some good ones! I even bought a special outfit just to make his Grammy happy (you're welcome, Grammy) :)

Grandparents, let me know which ones you like and I'll send some to you!

"Trick or Treat"

Happy Halloween!

Wills' grandma sent him this adorable Halloween costume, and Wills was so excited to be a "thunk" for halloween! We took him to our neighborhood Halloween party at 5 and then went trick-or-treating with some neighbors afterward. Wills loved it - he actually started running from one house to the next. He learned pretty quickly how to say "trick or treat!" to get some candy. At one point, he wanted a piece of candy so bad that he just sat right down in the middle of someone's driveway and waited for me to give him a piece :)

Boo at the Zoo!

Today my friend Shannon and I took her daughter (Scarlett) and Wills to Boo at the Zoo. It was a blast! They loved the costumes, the animals, the music, and of course, the candy. They also seemed to really like each other! Scarlett was Cinderella...and Wills was a skunk! Pepe Le Pue, to be exact. Thanks Grandma, for the great costume - it was a hit!

Wills walked right up to both of these furry animals and gave them big hugs - it was so cute! He really likes Clifford the Dog...don't ask me how or why - they must read Clifford books at school!

Can you tell...

I am getting caught up on my blogging? To make it easy, I am just writing a little blog for each of the things that has been going on. Wills' had his 2 year appointment 2 weeks ago, and it went great. He weighs 28 lbs and is 35 inches tall - 50th percentile for both weight and height, which is just perfect! He doesn't stop talking once he is comfortable around you, and our favorite word right now is "punkin". He loves pumpkins and can spot one anywhere. He wants to do everything himself - if you offer to help him, he just says "I help, I help!". He is eating a little better...his favorite food right now is hummus, of all things.

And of course, he is obsessed with his pockets...

My new playground

Grandpa, Grandma, Big Daddy and Grammy all chipped in to give Wills the best 2nd birthday present a little boy could ever get...a new playground! I was waiting at home after it was installed to get a photo of the expression on Wills' face when he saw it for the first time. This thing is on his mind morning, noon and night!

Field of Greens

My friend Christina and I took her son, Jax, and Wills to a farm in Covington, GA for their Field of Greens festival. There were chickens, goats, and a turkey. Jax loved the live music, and Wills loved the scarecrow.

Latest Haircut

This is from a few weeks ago, but thought I would share. This was Wills' 5th haircut...

How I like to dress when I wake up in the morning

Wills likes to be silly first thing in the morning. The other day when he woke up, I found him down to his skivvies in the crib...he had managed to take off his zipped up footie pajamas! Thank goodness he didn't remove the diaper too...

The last 3 pics are of Wills with his shoes and rainboots on (with PJs). So silly!
