Pumpkin Patch Play Date

We recently met up with our church play group for a play date at the Y pumpkin patch. Abby and Will had a great time with all the activities.

Pumpkin Picking

Emma needed a pumpkin for school so we headed to one of our favorite patches to pick one out.

Daredevils

The girls love taking risks, especially when they get to copy some of the neighborhood boys. Wall jumping is their new favorite.

Little Man's Party

Turning 1 would not be complete without a celebration. We threw a little man party for Mr. Will. It was filled with mustaches and ties and of course tons of happiness. 

All ready for the party.

Happy 1st Birthday William Matthew!!

Happy 1st birthday to our little man! What a super fast year it has been with William. He brings so much joy to our family and is truly one of the best blessings we ever received (Emma and Abigail being the other fabulous blessings). It is amazing how much he has grown in this past year. Will is constantly changing and is a smart, sweet, fabulous, silly little man.

William's stats:

Height: 29 in.
Weight: 20 lbs. 1 oz.
Head Cir.: 47 cm

William Matthew at 1 year

• A fabulous eater. Pretty much loves everything except carrots.
• Sleeping is getting better. Adjusting to one nap a day and he does well with it. 
• Walking more and more. He is becoming confident with his walking and it is adorable.
• Trying to talk and loves to be loud and babble. 
• An amazing pointer. Loves to point and say something.
• Enjoys being outside. When he is inside he is always looking out the windows.
• Wants to do whatever his sisters are doing. He is getting good at sticking up for himself and holding tight to his toys because the girls like to take them.
• He has the nickname Get A Ga. Emma created it for him.
• Loves music and to dance.
• Addicted to his mommy. Does not enjoy being separated. 
• Gets into everything. He doesn't feel like anything is off limits.
• Can go up and down the stairs by himself.
• Loves to giggle, smile, and laugh. 
• Is the greatest little guy we could have ever asked for. 

Hard to believe this little man is already one year. I can still remember awaiting his arrival into this world. The moment he arrived it was love at first sight. You are my beautiful boy William Matthew and I want to slow time down and soak up every moment. Happy Birthday!!

Bike Rider

Abby's new obsession is learning how to ride a bike. Every time we are outside she wants to practice. She is getting really good. So proud of her!

Yay, it's October!!

Emma was so excited that October started that she wanted her picture taken in front of the calendar.

Abby couldn't pass up the opportunity.
