Day # 99

Here is the happy couple! We spent Friday night at Kathy and Travis' house. It was a great opportunity to see Susan and Mike, and to check out Susan's ring. They both seemed very happy.

Will on the otherhand was not very happy that night. He didn't want to be held by anyone but mom, well, mom or Mike. I think he embarrassed all the girls because he would cry when someone would take him from me, but when Mike took him he really perked up and smiled and giggled. Apparently Mike has the charm with all the kids.



Can't wait for these two to tie the knot




Today was a gymnastics day. However, because of the holiday it was cancelled. Nora, our sitter, was stuck entertaining Charlie on a rainy day while I took Will to the doctor for his 9 month check up. When I got home Charlie was decked out in his homemade smock (a Pottery Barn kids bag), and the table was protected with an open brown paper bag, while Charlie painted. Nora said she didn't know the painting rules, so she took all necessary precautions.

She also tried to treat Charlie with a donut and Starbucks after he found out gymnastics had been cancelled, but Charlie turned his nose up at his donut holes, chocolate covered donut with sprinkles, and steamed milk. I'm beginning to think he may not be my son.
I thought this picture of Will would be hilarious. Nora gave him this flag to hold and chew on and he held on to it forever. It looks like he actually knows how to perfectly wave it. I swear we didn't just prop it in his hand. This young man may be getting his first haircut tomorrow. His hair is so long over his ears and in the back. I have just waited so long because I know he will look like a little boy rather than a baby once it is cut.

He got a good check-up at the doctor today. He weighs 20 pounds even, which is the exact weight of Charlie at this age. Charlie was an inch taller though. We started yogurt today and he enjoyed a biter biscuit. Those things are so messy.

Looking towards a busy tomorrow, too. We have the lanscapers back, haircuts for the whole family and Will has to get some routine bloodwork done. We may meet up with Jack for dinner for his real birthday celebration.
