Let it snow!

We got about 3 inches of snow on Friday night, and I think Tim and I had just as much fun in it as Wills did!

When we weren't outside playing, we were inside trying to stay warm. Wills is totally into his "colors" right now and loves to color with his mommy and daddy :)

29 months old...

It's hard to believe Wills is almost 2 and a half! He is changing every day, talking more and more, and is really his own person! We took the side off of his crib (one step towards a big-boy bed) and thought it would result in us waking up each morning with Wills by the side of our bed looking at us :) but it hasn't made a bit of difference to him! He loves climbing in and out of his bed all by himself, and he stays in the bed until we come get him in the morning.

Wills' favorite things right now include dinosaurs (he calls the brachiosaurus "broccoli-sauras"), mickey mouse and all his friends (we are going to disney world in April and every day Wills says "I'm ready to go see Mickey!"), playdo, gummy vitamins, waffles with syrup, cheese quesadillas with rice and beans, eating his food on the kitchen countertop (see pics below - supervised, of course), his grandparents and his cousins, and Fletch. He also tells everyone what is his or ours (that's my mommy, that's my cereal bar, that's our house, that's our dog) and recently woke up every kid at daycare during nap time by walking around and poking them on their cots.

I'll try to take more pics this weekend so that you can all see how much he is growing!

Christmas!

We have had a very busy but very wonderful holiday season! We went to Easley SC for the Suhrer family Christmas (my mom's side), then spent the night in Greenville to celebrate Christmas with my family. Then we went to Greensboro to spend Christmas with Tim's family and had a wonderful, relaxing time. And this weekend, we went to Aiken for the long weekend. Here are some pictures from the month...

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!
