Baby #2 is on the way… <3

William (now 21 mo) is going to be a big brother in September. I am 14 weeks pregnant with our second little bundle! SO excited to have another sweet one on the way. Now the big question is what will we NAME this little blessing?

If its a girl, we have already decided on Violet Mae.

If its a boy, I have no idea… There are a few names in the running but none have jumped out as THE ONE yet. I like old fashioned, classic, and not overly popular names.

 I need some feedback. Any suggestions are welcome.
What do you think of Gregor? Atticus? Ernest? Henry? … .

William, William, William.

What can I say? My little William has me so busy that I hardly have time for Facebook and Pinterest (my newest addiction) let alone TUMBLR!

However, I must update on our latest happenings… Or else I may forget some of them and that would be sad!

So, William is 15 months. He is QUITE the little personality. He has a pretty large vocabulary both in sign language and spoken word. At his latest checkup he weighs 22.9lbs and is 33 inches long. Tall and skinny :)

Words he can sign: all done, more, please, thank you, and airplane. He also waves hello and goodbye (to anything and  everything).

Words he can say: Mommy, Daddy, “Yea” for yes (and he says it in a really high pitch), Go, No, Thank You, Please, “Amen” (after we pray), Mine, Cheese, Juice, Bird (usually “tweet”), Truck, Duck, “Whoo” for an owl, “Neeigh” for horse, ”woof woof” for doggie and a  squeal for elephant. He knows more, but that’s all I can remember for now.

His newest thing is screaming. He screams about EVERYTHING! I’m hoping its just a phase and that once he realizes it doesn’t work he will stop. 

He still LOVES to nurse… more than I would like to admit. lol. But whatever. He won’t do it forever, and I really don’t mind for naps/bedtime. I try to wean him, but he just loves his “nursies.” Whenever he wants to nurse, he comes over to me and either brings me a pillow or blanket and then pats my chest while making a noise. The noise can best be described as “motor boat.” I don’t know where he learned it,but he always makes a pouting/blowing noise with his lips that is SOO funny.

The problem lately has been frequent night wakings because of teething. William has 11 teeth right now. 5 on top, 6 on bottom.. and 4 more coming in. Poor guy, I stole a look this morning in his mouth and he has 3 that are halfway through the  gums!

He LOVES all animals, being outside, eating (almost anything), orange juice, cars/trucks/trains (Hard Hat Harry. UGH!), playing with other kids (preferably older ones because were working on his awful hair-pulling/biting tendencies towards small children right now. …. tbc 

 

I <3 Pinterest

So, I have decided that rather than continue on using this blog as a place to talk/write about Williams Little World AND to share pretty things that inspire me; I will now be using Pinterest for things unrelated to William. Please Follow :)

William feeding his puppy her food. He loves to “help” by giving her one piece at a time. If you listen closely you can hear him making a clicking noise to get her attention. haha. I guess little ones really do pick up on what their parents do!

This is William’s favorite song/music video. He always dances around when it comes on, so I couldn’t help but smile when I saw this :)

weworshipyoulord asked: I read your post on your birthday boy!!! I pray God would grant you the strength it takes to raise a child. That the power and love of Christ would give you what you need to be the mother you should be. I can see clearly through your blog the deep, unconditional love you have for your baby!!!!! You will do just fine. He is precious. God bless your life.

Wow, Thank you so much for your loving and heart-felt words of encouragement :) What a blessing you have been to my heart today! I do not update as often as I would like, but I am happy to know that others read and enjoy watching William grow as much as I do! Thanks again :)
