Week 48 and Week 161

William is 48 Weeks old and Emily is 161 weeks old. Another week and another bunch of firsts! William is getting more and more adventurous. He has started letting go while standing up and balancing on his own for a few seconds at a time. He usually doesn't realize he did it and as soon as he does goes back to hold on again. He is pointing all the time and noticing so many things. This really is a fun age as he seems to change every single day. Another fun age is THREE! Emily had a pretty good week too and had tons of fun singing and dancing around. It seems like our princess is always singing something and its really cool to listen as she gets better and better at learning the correct words. Its fun to hear what she thinks they are too! Erin came home this weekend, so it was nice to see her and spend time with the rest of the family.

Here are some pics of our fun...

Rock star jammin' in his "fun crib". His sister takes care of him!

Bulldozing...

I love tacos!

Caught her! She kept turning around trying to avoid a picture!!!

Having fun together!

Emily is so good at making her brother laugh, and loves it!

Happy 11 months!

Can you see my bottom teeth? I like to keep them hidden!!

Climbing up to tickle Emily's toes!

I can stand up in my crib, even with the mattress all the way down! I'm a happy boy!!

What happens when Mommy makes lunch.

(I had just cleaned these all up 5 minutes before...)

And yes, we were wearing shorts in March!!

48 Weeks old

Silly girl!

I sent Emily to get pants, socks, and shoes so she could go outside. This is how she came out. She was close! I love the one sock. There was no match in the drawer so instead of choosing a different pair, she just put the one on!!

Fun at Connor's birthday party

William's first carousel ride. It was mini!

Emily loved this game and even got the ball in the mouth a few times! She's got a pretty good arm.

Some of the boys on the big carousel.

Emily got a special ride all by herself (with Mommy of course!)

Birthday boy!!!

Grandmas and girls!

They turned one this week! Happy Birthday!!

Kim and Tyler

This boy loves his truck!

Silly face!

I love to slide!

Erin and me

I smiled and stayed still for a picture unlike my children!!

Look who's standing!!!

Coloring fun with Aunt Erin!

Week 47 and Week 160

William is 47 weeks old and Emily is 160 weeks old! Wow! These numbers are getting pretty big. I feel like I just started getting used to having a 10 month old and now he will be 11 months next week! AHHHHH!! William is growing and changing everyday. He loves exploring new foods and cruising all over the place. He even discovered he could walk down the hallway using the wall for support and turn the corner and go all the way into the bathroom. He really has no fear, which is causing problems for his poor little head and face. He got his first fat lip this week as he tried to pull himself up on the coffee table and slipped. I am sure that is just the first of many injuries for my little boy. He is definitely all boy!!! We had fun wearing our green and celebrating St Patrick's Day this week. We had a party with our MOMS Club friends on Tuesday, went to a parade on Saturday, and had a great corned beef dinner with Kim, Jesse, and Tyler.

Emily enjoyed crafting this week as we made crowns for Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day. This poor girl has the wrong Mama. She loves to craft and I just have no creative ideas to keep her satisfied. Luckily she is easy to please, but I feel like I should be coming up with some more fun ideas! If you have any, please pass them along for my crafty little girl. She also loves her sports and playing outside. She talks about soccer and baseball all the time. She loves playing baseball with Pop Pop, who even got her a real tee this week. What a lucky girl!! We had another week of awesome weather and it looks like it is going to continue for awhile. Yahoo!!!

Well anyway...here are some pics of our fun...

My little Sham-Rocker! Love his toothy grin!

Happy Boy!

William's first St. Patrick's Day (and Parade)

Emily & AC in the wagon. I think their favorite part was collecting candy when people threw it to them!

Kids at the parade. Emily was cold since we just moved into the shade here, but it's the best I got of them together!

Mommy and her boy

The best I got of the three of them on the rock!

Emily chose her skirt and pants, very stylish!

The boys playing. So cute!

William's first taste of corned beef. Although his face doesn't show it here, he liked it!!!

Week 46 and Week 159

William is 46 weeks old. He is now a man with 4 teeth and is really on the move! He's getting more and more confident in his cruising. He'll even let go of things and just hang onto the wall as he "walks" around. He's pulling himself up a little bit more and just wants to be up and moving. He is also babbling a lot more now also.

Emily is 159 weeks old. Her favorite cereal is Pop Frisbees aka Rice Krispies. She just cracks me up on a daily basis. She always has something to say and knows what she wants!!! We went to see Cristin, Connor, Katie, and Megan this week to celebrate Emily's birthday. It was a lot of fun and I think it may be the last birthday celebration for her!! She is already talking about her next birthday. Birthdays are fun!!! I hope she realizes it is a whole year away!!

We had a great weekend. My mom, Emily, and I went to see "The Little Mermaid" at a local castle theater. We even had the best seats in the house, front and center!! After that we headed to the Doherty's Pub for the annual St. Patrick's Day bash. It was great to see everyone and enjoy the music and food!

Here are some pics of our fun...

Making Emily's special birthday snack!

Triplets?

Megan, Will, and Katie

I can reach it if I try hard enough!

Hat Practice!

With all of this nice weather, Mommy instituted hat practice in an effort to get William used to wearing hats all the time. His bald head is going to need it this spring and summer!
