William's haircut!

BEFORE:
a happy camper with lots of curly hair!
DURING:
actually enjoying the haircut more than it looks like, he is just doing one of his funny faces.
AFTER:
just as cute and as cheesy, just without the curly hair!

This was all done last night. And this morning he runs into my room yelling "momma gel lotion, momma gel lotion" (which means he wants gel in his hair!). So I put gel in his hair and it spikes up! The best I got was a little bit of chicken feathers in the back. The only reason we cut it, is because he freaks out when he takes a bath and it takes FOREVER to wash all the soap out of his hair. He hates when his head is wet!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy his funny faces as much as the post! :)

Just an update!

Still not doing great at keeping up my blog. Busy between work, keeping the house clean, enjoying time with my husband and son, figuring out why Richard struggles in school, William taking pills he isn't suppose to, and all that other fun stuff. Just being a mom and a wife! I love it all.

I am here to tell you a few things that William has mastered or at least is trying to master.
1. Recognizing pictures (animals, food, among other things)
2. Saying prayers (copying what we say, as well as copying the prayers in church)
3. Singing "We will, we will, rock you" (with the sound effects and clapping included)
4. Reminding mom to do his hair and brush his teeth
5. Is able to take his clothes off, and tries to put them back on
6. Saying good night and kissing all of his stuffed animals
7. Counting with numbers 1-15 (but definitely not in order)
8. Safely going up and down the stairs
9. Loving his baths and able to help mom/dad get ready for his bath and clean up after (his favorite part is being lotioned afterwards)
10.Knowing his favorite movies and TV shows by name (which are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Diego, and Cars)
11. Knowing the names of foods he wants to eat
12. Saying "I love you" without being told first, and saying "I love you more" when we say we love him.

There are many more things he is learning and doing well at, these are just a few things that he has gotten really good at lately. We love our little guy! He's the best!


He loves to read his books Nana gave him for Easter. This one has lots of pictures and he goes through it and names all of the pictures.

His cheesy smile. He loves to smile for the camera, but I can hardly ever get him to give me a regular smile. This is what it usually looks like.

hanging out in Lyndsey's room

William loves hanging out in Lyndsey's room when were are at Nana and Papa's house. I think it is because it is so colorful and there are mirrors! He loves looking at himself.
