9 Months

Well... he couldn't understand why I wanted him to stay still on his back. So the tears started to fall. It's a tough life. This was the only shot I got of him on his back... the rest were in mid-roll. So here it is... the 9 Month shot!The Monkey Man weighs 22 lbs. 12 oz. and is 28 in. long. We're in the 80th percentile for weight and 40th for height. Could that explain the pot belly?

Teeth are still bugging us, crawling is happening at rocket speeds... and the little guy's not walking but he has gotten pretty good at standing!
Here is the 'Olan Mills' again. It's rainy and cold and Will's just going to stay inside in his bear PJ's.
And be just like Daddy! Do a little work on the ole laptop!

Here Comes Santa Claus

Can't believe the elf let me use my own camera while Will sat with Santa. I felt bad and still decided to pay the $38 for 3 5x7's. And they are the worst pictures EVER! Tis the season!

We made the trip to sit on Santa's knee. I'm pretty sure Will whispered that he wanted his mom to have a vacation to a deserted island... but maybe it was about a toy drum. Or possibly his two front teeth... or more like his four front teeth. Poor thing, they are all coming in at once. 3 of the 4 have broken through... #4's holding out.

And.... of course!

Thanksgiving

We spent a wonderful week in Seaside with our family. Our new nephew, Parker, was 6 weeks at the time... and way too cute! We think he looks a lot like Ridge at that age - but a little more like Jeff. Parker with JJ on our deck.Here's Ridge (2yrs)!!! Dancing to whatever tune was playing from his toy.
Ridge and Will riding on Baby Einstein's rocket ship. We were all so tickled over the toy because it kept saying... 'Let's speed it up... Let's show LaRhonda!' What!?!
Will wasn't real sure about the rocket ship... much less LaRhonda.

8 Months (a month late)

Soooo... I'm really bad at this lately.

This is Will's '8th Month Shot'! We refer to this look as his 'Olan Mills'! Yes, he makes this face A LOT! It is a posed, half awkward smile.
He'll hate me for this later, but I love his legs!
At this point in time, he had a horrible cold and some teething issues going on. He was not happy. It probably made it worse that I pulled the camera out on him!

Shot with our friend, Jennifer Shipp, at the Tennessee game!
