Ouch!

Well, Will has finally figured out the stairs which means we have to get the gates up this week. But we unfortunately had our first accident followed by our first fat lip. He put his hands down to brace himself but i think the momentum of his large cranium through him off and he did a face plant. Poor baby, his front tooth went through his upper lip. Lots of blood but nothing serious. He's such a little trooper.

Christmas at Nonna and Nonno's House (Gramma and Grampa)

Will got a new riding/walking boat from Nonna and Nonno that he LOVED. And Nonno loved giving him rides too.





Thanks to Uncle Korbyn, Auntie Veronica and Uncle Richard for spoiling me with toys and cloths. I love all my presents.

Christmas Eve Morning

Paul and I have a tradition of having eggs benedict for breakfast Christmas morning. Since we were going to be at mom and dad's we had our Christmas on Christmas Eve so here he is making me breakfast.


Will was very excited to get his new riding tractor from mommy and daddy. He especially loved the horn. Yeah for us!







Will would like to say a big thank you for all his great gifts. He was really spoiled. Thank you Malakai, Amie, Faith and Anderson.








Of course Dante got a Christmas Stocking too and he was quite happy with his new squeeky mouse and doggy treats.

Christmas Visit with Mike, Karla and Amie

We went to Mike and Karla's yesterday for a little Christmas visit. As always we had a great time and Will loved playing with Amie.

Jail Bird

So William decided last week that he was big enough to get out of his crib by himself. I had just put him down for a nap and about 15 minutes in I hear this big "thump" and then silence, and then the scream. Mommies you know the scream i'm talking about. The kind of scream that no parent wants to hear. As i bolted up the stairs all I kept saying was, "it can't be Will, it can't be Will" I opened his door and sure enough, it was Will, he was on the floor! I couldn't believe it, I have no idea how he did it seeing as he can barely stand, but he did it. There he was on the floor looking quite shocked himself but screaming his head off. Needless to say he didn't hurt himself thankfully and we now call him jail bird as daddy lowered his crib to the lowest level. I didn't want it to happen again.

Christmas with Uncle Joe and Auntie Erynn

Friday night, Paul, Will and I went out to Bragg Creek where Erynn and Joe are house sitting to our Christmas. We spent the night out there too, but it ended up being quite the couple of days.

It's tradition for us to get together for a pre-Christmas. We exchange gifts and do and appetizer night, play games etc.

Well Friday evening started with a phone call from Erynn saying that they were on their way to the hospital as Joe had hurt his back so badly that he had terrible pain in his back and right arm and his hand was how numb. So, off they went. We all arrived out at the house at about 7:00. By that time, Paul now had the full on stomach flu that Will had, and I of course couldn't breath (which I still can't)as I have the cold that WON'T GO AWAY!!!!!! So the only one actually feeling not sick was Erynn but she was frustrated with her day and feeling emotionally drained. But Erynn and I said, to heck with it, we're eating! So we made all this food...for just her and I :o) Paul was too sick to eat (sure sign that you know he's sick) and we never actually saw Joe that night. We ate, went to bed at 10:30 just beat.

Everyone was feeling a bit better in the morning so Erynn made us a fabulous breakfast and we managed to exchange gifts.

All that to say, that our little Will wasn't fazed one bit. He loved opening his presents.
