Will at 8 months

In just a few days, Will turns 8 months old. This week he started dancing (well, bouncing) and clapping his hands. He makes us laugh all day long. It's hilarious watching him try to feed himself. We discovered Gerber Puffs while we were home over the holidays. Genius. These are a must have for the diaper bag. I'm never leaving home without them!

We started a mom and baby swim class today. Basically just bouncing them around in the kiddie pool and letting them play with pool toys. Like a glorified bath! He loved it. Speaking of baths, check him out in his new tub (thanks to his Aunt Eliana and Uncle Chris).


... the Delta bassinet on the flight home. Nice way to travel, huh?? Wish I had one.







When we got home, we went to the toy store to buy him a few new things. But by the look on his face, not sure he likes them!




And of course we had to include this one since it so perfectly fits in with previous singing and dancing videos...

Will's First Christmas

Celebrating the 'Spirits' of the Season

Merry Christmas to you and yours from the three of us... CHEERS!

Halloween

It's Woody! And his best friend in the world, Pocahontas. We spent Halloween with our good friends, Joan and Jacob. Jacob (the 6 year old in the dracula costume) was my make-up artist :-)

Will didn't seem bothered by his costume. Not even the hat. After some trick-or-treating in Joan's neighborhood, we headed out to Birr Castle for a haunted tour...

I've never liked haunted houses or horror movies or anything scary, really. So I wasn't sure what to think about taking my little 5 month old to a haunted castle on Halloween. But it turned out to be very cool - great for kids with the entire castle grounds lit up with candles in mason jars, fire jugglers, and witches brewing potions in their cauldrons. Of course all the kiddies got lots of sweets from all the characters.

Shane's wearing Jacob's safari hat as his costume.

Swimming and Rolling... life is so fun

"Serious Will" has his first kiddie pool swim in Kilkenny at the hotel. FYI...swim caps are required here in Ireland.



A little fun with Dad.

Some new experiences

Will tries out his newest toy...



And finally some REAL food!

A Master Conductor...

For those of you who liked the tribute to Michael Jackson, here's another display of musical genius. Who do you think is more entertained, Shane or Will??
