Williams World...Rudy

The other day, out of the blue, William commented..."Rudy's been a pretty good girl today, I like her attitude"

He also has been referring to one of the "Cars" figures that he has as "Jack O Fat". I could not figure out where he got that name, since it isn't a characters name. I finally figured out he was trying to say "Jeff Corvette". Ha!

One Month!

Happy first month, Graham. You are a really sweet and prety laid back little guy. You like being held upright so you can observe the world around you. You enjoy tummy time, are a good eater, an excellent sleeper, and perfect little cuddler. You are still wearing newborn diapers and clothes. You weigh 7 lbs and 13 oz and are 21.5 inches long. We love you!!

Williams's World-My Brother, My Pet (and another random funny)

-While at a small group function, William pointed to Graham and told his friends "you can pet him if you want to, just be gentle. He's just like a dog." He then proceeded to pat his head.

-While golfing with Daddy, he asked to hit another bucket of balls because, he said, "I'm just full of energy".

Victory!

William has developed a little fear of movie theaters. We can't quite pinpoint where it began, but we have tried to see movies with him several times, all ending in leaving very soon after the opening credits. But this boy doesn't quit. With the new movie "Planes" coming out, he REALLY wanted to go. He made a goal to sit through the entire thing. We went, armed with a headset in case it got too loud.  Guess what? He did it! I was so proud of my big boy accomplishing what he set out to do. Growing up so quick......

Graham....2 Weeks

Happy 2 weeks Graham! You weigh 7 pounds (5th percentile) and are 20.5 inches (50th percentile). Your head circumference is 13.75 inches (10th percentile) and you are perfectly healthy! You enjoy being cuddled and just looking around at your surroundings, sleeping, and moving your arms and legs.  You love your paci, and even have found your thumb! Mommy and Daddy sure do appreciate your sleeping habits at night too!

We love you little one!

Williams World.....The Air Force Song

William has been really into learning the words to the Air Force theme song lately. I think it started when we attended a promotion ceremony recently and the song was played. He wants help with the lyrics constantly. Some recent quotes about this:

"Mama, when baby brother and I get to be daddies, we will be Air Force guys too."

"Daddy must like to sing this song everyday at his big Pentagon."

Coach Bill

A friend of mine just emailed me a picture from William's last soccer practice. What a blessing Coach Bill is to us!  He is patient, funny, and an excellent teacher. The kids were learning valuable soccer skills when they thought they were only playing. Most importantly, he knows and understands the heart (and mind) of a preschooler and disciplines and teaches in an age appropriate way. We look forward to the fall, when we start lessons again!
