Washing Cars with Daddy

Last night for family night we washed the cars - well, Curtis and Will washed the cars and I took pictures! Will is such a boy. He loves cars, trucks, motorcycles, and airplanes. He gets so excited walking through parking lots. He especially loves red cars and his daddy's red motorcycle. He's gotten pretty good at saying "vroooom vroooom" while he pushes his toy cars around.

What a good helper!

Curtis is such a fun daddy

Then it was time for a tubby and bed. (I was in a picture taking mood, so these are just pictures I thought were cute)!

Who needs bath toys when you have a cup?!?

A few weeks ago, Will decided to stop drinking milk (hopefully he'll change his mind soon). I decided it was a good time to stop giving him a bottle. I know your not supposed to let them have a bottle in their crib, but it was the only thing that would make him not cry himself to sleep. After a few nights of not having a bottle, he started to love getting into his crib. As soon as his Primary bedtime songs are turned on, and he's holding his favorite Blue Bear and the tag on his blankie, he dives for his crib with a huge smile on his face. It is the cutest thing ever! It is so nice to end the day happy :)

I love this little guy!

The Zoo

Today I took Will and the boy I'm babysitting this summer, Kyler, to the Zoo. Will loved it!

Eating Fruit Loops while looking at the giraffes

I think Will's favorite animal was the peacock. Every animal we saw he would point to it and say "this" or "that."

BLACK EYE

Will got his first big owie today. We were playing in my mom's backyard and he tripped on the grass and bonked his eye on a little kid chair. It wasn't a big fall, but he must have hit his eye just right to make a huge bump and bruise. He didn't cry very long. I think the OtterPops helped take his mind off it. Poor baby!

This is right after it happened

This is a few hours later at dinner

Good News!

I think Will's gagging himself till he throws up phase is over. Yay!

The Doggie Door

Will has been trying to go through the doggie door for awhile now, but I always grab his ankles and pull him back inside. I was afraid he would fall down the stairs head first, and I wanted to teach him that he's not supposed to go through it. Today I guess I just got curious what would happen if I just let him do it. (Good parenting, huh?!) He actually turned himself around as he went through it and slid down the stairs on his tummy. He was pretty proud of himself. I guess now I don't have to worry about him getting hurt if I don't get to him in time. Or I could just keep the cover over the doggie door when Rocko's not using it, but what fun is that?

Notice all the toys he's put through the door. If we ever can't find something, we know where to look!

Will's been trying to step down and up from little steps. He's gotten pretty good at it and he is perma-grin the whole time he is doing it. As soon as he got outside today he tried stepping off the deck, which is a pretty big step. I kept telling him to turn on his tummy, but he was determined. We thought that he would figure it out after he fell a few times, but that never stopped him. Atleast the grass is a soft landing!












Here are some other pictures that I think are funny. Oh, the joys of having a dog!






Notice the wet pants and socks. Sometimes you just have to let them do whatever will keep them busy for a little while :)

Happy Easter

My handsome boys

Easter morning we went to my sweet Grandma Scholte's house for a yummy breakfast and an Easter egg hunt.

We went to Curtis' parents house for dinner and another Easter egg hunt. Will got pretty good at picking up eggs and putting them in his basket. He's been enjoying all of his candy, especially the Peeps!

Will's getting good at walking!

Will's cute cousins, Jayda and Taylor, helping him pick up his eggs.
