Happy Easter!

Well, I was going to post pictures of our Easter on here but blogger wouldn't upload them for some reason. I will try again in a bit.

We didn't really do anything special for Easter, but it was still a nice day. Mrs Donley got baby an Easter outfit and bought him a couple toys. Will looked so cute! He is teething really bad today so the day was basically me trying to help him fall asleep. We finally had to just give him Tylenol and that helped him nap for almost 2 hours. His tooth is so close to coming through. Any day now!

This afternoon I took my dog and Shane's mom's dog out to a field to run. It was so funny watching them try to run in the snow because it was so deep. Eventually Causemoe just did the "army crawl" until we were out of the deep snow. That was funny to watch. TBone wasn't as obedient as Causemoe. TBone just ran and ran and ran and eventually just left the field we were in and ran up and down the road. He had a lot of energy built up inside of him. I will try to bring them out again soon.


Last night we had a youth activity. It was a lot of fun. We did a meal using no dishes. We had tortillas as plates, celery as spoons, and sweet peppers as cups. It was so funny watching everyone trying to eat...almost everyone spilled something!

Well, have a Happy Easter!

Some Firsts...

Well, since my last post Baby has hit a couple milestones. Go Baby! Here are some pictures...

Last Thursday (April 7) he rolled over for the first time! It happened so fast all I could get was a picture of him after he rolled over. Since then he has rolled over 2 more times. I am still the only one to see him do it. Last night as soon as I put him on the floor he rolled over and it happened so fast that by the time I told Shane to look he was already on his back! Then I put him back on his belly and everyone was watching hoping to see it. After a few minutes everyone went back to what they were doing and he rolled over again! So, like I said, I am still the only one to see him roll over. Oh...and I am not sure why blogger only uploaded half of my photo but I figured it was better than nothing.
 


Will's Grandma and Grandpa got him this Jolly Jumper. It hooks onto the door frame. He loves it!! I ask him how he jolly jumps and then he starts jumping. Its really cute. 



Then this is our big one for the day. Will had his first solid food: carrots. He was a pro by the second bite. He was actually grabbing the spoon and putting it right into his mouth! He really liked it. Last night I made up a bunch of carrots and apples. I just boiled the carrots then pureed them and put them in an ice cube tray. For the apples I shredded them then pureed them and put them in an ice cube tray. So when I want to use some I just pull out one cube of food and it's the perfect portion. I have 10 more cubes made. Next time I will make some sweet potatoes. Oh, and I didn't post an after picture because it didn't look too much different from this picture. He stayed pretty clean!


Oh yeah- and I am happy to say I am now below my pre-pregnant weight!!

William is growing fast!!

 
He loves to sleep with the giraffe that Aunt Becky and Aunt Lizzie got him for Christmas.
(I pledge to the sheep on the blanket...)



Can you believe how big he is getting?!



 
He loves his mom!



 
This past weekend was baby's first Muskrat Jamboree (carnival on the ice road). He spent most of it inside my coat but he enjoyed our little break to warm up in the truck.



 
His Grandma got him a toy that attaches to his carrier. That's what he's making the crazy face at.



 
Shane and his friend, Steven, holding their babies. Eve is 1 month younger than William. 



 
He always falls asleep on car rides. I thought he looked so cute I had to take a picture.


I finally got his room looking sorta like a baby's room. Yay! I made those sheepy curtains so I decided that is what we will make his theme.


 
Batlamb "guards the fort" haha.


 
What a handsome boy!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
