21 Month Update

William at 21 Months Old

William is now able to say some complete sentences, say please and thank-you fairly consistently, count to 13, say his ABC's (out of order), independently remember most of his family when saying his prayers, do front rolls by himself, and attempt to drink out of a regular cup. Trey and I have truly enjoyed watching each of these small tasks being learned.

"Mommy Moments" -

-After Trey put his new car seat in my car this week William said, "I like my new car seat" and "Thank you Mama for the car seat".

-When we walk in his room at night after brushing his teeth he now goes by himself to his rocking chair and says, "I say prayers Mama."

-When he spills something he says, "Oh-My-Gosh!"

- Another one of my favorite William sentences comes first thing in the morning when I go to pick him up he says, "Good morning Mama, I sleep good last night" - I used to have to ask him if he slept good last night..not anymore :)

Sincerely,

William's Proud Mother

Fishing Pictures

Father's Day Weekend 2009 - Shay and I decided to go fishing with Dad for the day. We all had a great time and I am fairly sure my fish was bigger than Shay's fish.

William playing in the sand at the beach. Thanks Gram for the toys!

Don't we look like professional fishermen!

Fun Friday at Landa

Today we had a great day playing with my friend Jill and her son Carter at the Landa Park pools. William really enjoyed getting to hangout with a big boy like Carter. (Carter and Jill are in the first picture and William is in the second. )

Visit with Baby Kayla

Last weekend Trey, William and I went to meet my cousin's new baby. She is just adorable. It is hard to believe they come this small and she weighed over 8 pounds and was 22in long.
William would not get very close to her. I think he was scared that we might take her home, she was awfully cute. Vanessa seems to be adjusting well to having two little ones. Congrats Vanessa and Todd!

Slow 4th of July

We enjoyed a very slow 4th of July this year. Trey grilled some delicious fish and shrimp and we sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather.

William and I took his lantern and explored the backyard at night.

Trip to "Island" in NB

William enjoyed picking the bark off of this beautiful tree. He does this at home with our crepe myrtle tree too.

Rosemary, William and Janice (My boss)

Janice invited us to come play in the water with her grandkids this last week. The water was a little cooler than William was used to and this picture shows about how deep he got in the water.

Thank You - MiMi!

My Mom watched William this weekend and when we got home from our evening out this is what was found in the playroom. A happy little boy with a tent and a lantern.

Last night I told William it was time for bed and he ran in the tent and said, "night, night Mommy".

It was nice for Trey and I to go out for a real "grown-up" evening . We went to a beautiful wedding in San Antonio and had a great time. Thanks, Mom.
