will's big day at the beach!

will got his first taste of the ocean today. he seemed to actually like the cold water on his feet. we didn't stay too long as it was actually pretty warm out today. i think he probably had more fun in the huge bathtub at the house when we got back but those pictures are not blogger approved!!!

mid-vacation recap...

so far so good! will has been a great little kid to travel with for the most part. will has been to 9 new states and driven over 1,600 miles so there's been lots of time spent in his seat. here's a little clip from his first hotel stay...he wasn't too excited...



first stop was grandma's. will got a couple quality days with grandma and she was always more than happy to hold and entertain him!



next stop boardman to meet aunt rose and uncle gary! we had a fun picnic with them...



...and our aunt becky and the boys.



unfortunately our stay in masury was short but we were able to get the great-grandparents to pose for a picture before we left.



next stop connecticuit for a short visit with pops...



...and grandma. it was short but we were glad we got to spend some fun time with them!



next stop new hampshire! here we are getting to meet another great-grandad! how exciting!



and as you can see we could hardly wait to sit in great-grandma's lap! will is going to be so spoiled!!!



paul and kristen were awesome enough to drive down to rye beach and spend some quality time with us too.



will and pauly...



where will our trip take us next??? will appears ready but mom and dad are ready for a few days in one place!!! whew!!!

PEAS!

since cereal was going so well mom decided that it was a good time to start some other new foods for will. as you can see he was more than happy to take that first bite...



but that excitement didn't last too long!



will obviously shares his dad's enthusiasm for new foods right from the start! looks like some long nights of finishing vegetables at the table are ahead : )



i promise he's not crying...he just really couldn't stand the taste of those peas! i can totally sympathize with my boy!!!

tongue!

well the kid is quite entertaining right now and he certainly has discovered his tongue. here's a couple new ones from our fun friday night at home! he has a great giggle as you'll see in video #2!

cereal!

today will got his first taste of cereal. he wasn't so sure on the first bite but after that he couldn't get enough! he was 17lb 4oz this week at his dr. appt...chunky baby!!!

Happy Dad's Day!

sorry it's been a while since we've had a post. we had a great low key day relaxing at home. was wonderful. hope all the dads had a great day too!!!



smiling for dad!



here we are helping with the laundry!!!

chewie

will has been chewing a lot lately on what appears to be absolutely nothing! the last couple of days though it's involved his tongue! on top of being entertaining for us kir is convinced that somewhere in the chatter there's a dada and a mama...i think maybe a dada : )
