William RR 16 Months

It's hard to believe my lil guy is already 16 months old. Each day I am amazed by him and can't believe I was chosen to be his mama. What an incredible honor and what a gift each day is with him. William LOVES mi mow (Mickey Mouse) and loves to babble and attempt to say words. He loves going to the beach and playing in the sand, going on walks to collect treasures (pinecones, tennis balls, golf balls), seeing water/ducks and going on bike rides. At 16 months William is measuring off the charts for height (36 inches) and in the 75th percentile for weight (26 pounds).

Logan's Almost Here!

Wow, it is hard to believe that any day now my family and I will be welcoming Logan into this world! We can't wait to meet him and I am so excited to see William's reaction to his baby brother. This pregnancy has been a roller coaster of emotions and health scares but the best part is about to happen any day now!

Happy 1st Birthday Maggoo!!!

One year ago today I met my precious angel William RR. Everyone warned me the time would go fast. Where did the year go? I have loved every minute with my special lil guy and still can't believe I was chosen to be his mama! I feel so unworthy! It's been the most difficult year of my life but amongst the trials there have been so many joyous events! Life with Will is never dull, he is on the go non stop and always has a smile to give! Birthday pictures coming soon from today's photo shoot. Thank you William RR for showing me the meaning of unconditional love.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Grandpa! I am sure your celebration in heaven is better than any earthly celebration you ever had! I am sure there is red velvet cake involved! We miss you everyday but our hearts are happy knowing with whom and where you spend eternity! Today is a day we remember your life not for what you accomplished but for who you were. You were a man who fiercely loved your family, others, and of course animals. You were a true man who believed in honesty, integrity and hard work. There's so much I can't wait to share with William jr. someday about you! Your presence is felt everyday when I look at baby William with your same eyes and rolled up sleeves. Thank you for leaving a legacy.

Where did the time go?!?!

It feels like yesterday I gave birth and now my lil guy is already 10 months old! It's been the best 10 months of my life and every second with Will makes my heart skip a beat and I can't believe how blessed I am to have him on loan to me! What a great responsibility that is and oh what an honor! I look forward to waking up to William RR everyday and the joy he brings to his family and those he meets is incredible!

6 Amazing Weeks

It's hard to believe that Will has been with our family for 6 weeks! The time has passed by so quickly and it seems like I had a newborn for all of 3 days. Each day he is changing and growing and my love for this little guy continues to grow and grow. It's been a sleepless busy 6 weeks, but I could't have gotten through it without the help of Aunt Julie and Gramie! Will celebrated Julie's Gotcha Day and Halloween last month. This month we look forward to Thanksgiving and Uncle Jeff's birthday! The smiles have started and make each day incredibly rewarding. Here are some favorite pictures over the last 6 weeks!
