21 Months Old

William turned 21 months old yesterday! He has kept us laughing nonstop over the past month from his many attempts at jumping (i.e., flailing his body around and jerking his head back), funny facial expressions (i.e., poking his bottom lip out and turning his head to the side when he's caught getting into something), nonstop "talking" (i.e., babbling nonsense), making his crying noise and sad face when we say "what does a baby say?," and his latest obsession with coins. He will do anything you want him to for a penny "muh-ee." For instance, tonight I wanted him to finish his spinach/pear baby food pouch that I knew he didn't like. All I had to say was "I'll give you a penny if you finish it" and he slurped it down. Success. And when we run out of pennies around the house, we empty his piggy bank and start over ;)

 Juju, Stee, Aunt Birdie, Ah-Dah (David), and Quin spent a couple of days in Key West after Christmas. William pretended like he was right there with them one night :)

New Years Eve day and night! 

 New Years Day!

He's been getting into trouble at school for kicking and hitting this past week. Grant and I are mortified but also understand all children go through this phase. He was one of the last in his class to hit (no pun intended) this phase, and I'm hopeful he'll quickly outgrow it. We do timeout at home but it's practically impossible to get him to sit in a corner for more than 6 seconds.

 Bed head :)

 He's still in LOVE with our neighbor Mae Mae. We had dinner at their house Friday night, and he spent over 3 hrs. chasing her around the house and playing with all thinks PINK :) We've also let William indulge in a DQ ice cream a couple of times over the past month!

William and I spent 2.5 hrs. at Overton Park one day when it was beautiful outside!

 He spent one weekend in Dothan with Juju and Stee so we could clean out our garage and do other household projects. The picture below is the face he made when I approached Juju's car to take him. He kicked me and pushed me away :(

Other random facts: He wears a size 8 shoe (!!!) and mostly 2T or 3T clothes. Even though we've been very pleased with his daycare, we are really praying he gets a spot at our church daycare. He's first on the waiting list for his class. Not only would this school be less expensive, it'd be a great way for him to get a good solid Christian foundation at an early age. He's TERRIFIED of baths, like refuses to sit down and screams bloody murder the entire time. That's made bath time super fun :)

We got to keep baby Quinn for a full day and I got to experience what it's like having two children. Quinn was sooooo sweet and William adjusted pretty well too. He did insist on drinking from a bottle the entire day and has since requested a "baba" instead of his usual sippy cup. 

 I love this silly little boy SO SO SO SO much!!!

First Haircut (20 Months Old)

William had his 1st haircut last week! I was armed with mini Reese's (thank goodness) and he did great!!! I was so proud of him! He looks so handsome with his new "do" but I'm obviously a little biased :)
