Will's Wellness Visit

Will had his 18 month wellness visit yesterday (at 19 months old). He had a great report and is a growing and healthy little boy! Here are his new statistics, still being on the tall side!

Length = 34.5 inches long = between percentile 75 and 90
Weight = 26 lbs, 5 oz = between percentile 50 and 75
Head Circumference = 19 inches = between percentile 50 and 75

He's growing up way too fast!

Edventure

On Saturday, Will and I went to Edventure with our friends Ridge & Heather (from his school) and Gracie and Elizabeth (from his previous caregiver's). They had a great time running free, playing in tunnels, in the boat and in the pretend grocery store. Will knew just what to do - got his buggy, loaded it up with products, went to the check-out, scanned everything and even
swiped my car when I gave it to him. Sweeet!


Will!


Will's best bud - Ridge!


Hey girlfriend - Miss Gracie!

Will thought he was pretty cool steering that big wheel!

Stride Rite

I took some special time off work today and picked up Will to take him shoe shopping and to Chik Fil A for lunch. Our neighbors Amy & Hart joined us too and made the experience extra special! Will's foot has grown a whole size and a half since January! Here's a picture of Will and Hart looking super cute and ready to try on shoes.

Vacation in Hilton Head

After not taking a vacation for 2 years, we finally made it back to Hilton Head Island for a much needed week long vacation. Yesterday Will went to the pool and is learning to swim, with the help of mom and dad. He is also learning to play chess, well, his version anyway!

Easter Weekend in Huntington

Well, we are a bit behind, so we decided to try and catch up while Will takes his nap. Here are some pictures that we took while we were in Huntington for Easter. We all had a good time visiting with Nena, Poppi, and Pappaw.

Bark to the Park

Last Saturday, April 17th, was the annual Bark to the Park dog festival in Columbia. I attended with Will, Miss Drake, Amy, Hart, Murray, Elizabeth, Gracie and of course Toby. Although we appear to be quite "together" in this photo, believe me we are not. We missed the entire walk because there wasn't a ramp up to the top of Finlay Park, so we had to walk around the park, up several commanding hills, only to arrive as the walk was finishing. We justified it though, by saying that we still had a fun walk and enjoyed one another's company. Babies and dogs seemed to enjoy the pretty day as well.

Petting Zoo at the Club!

Will had fun with the goats!


This goat really liked Will. At first Will liked him, but you can see here that the goat wouldn't go away. Here the goat is nudging for more attention and Will is "done" petting him.

The scary rabbit that absolutely sent Will into a fit.

While in Huntington, WV, Will had the privelege of attending a Petting Zoo at the Guyan Country Club. We had a great time! Especially me. HAHA! There were baby chicks and bunnies, goats, an alpaca, a 2 week old calf, a giant tortoise, a donkey, a porcupine, a pot-bellied pig, a rooster, even a bearcat! That thing was scary. Will loved all of them... except for a huge rabbit. As soon as it came over he started crying like crazy! Thank you Pam & Tim for letting us go to the petting zoo! We had so much fun!
