Will's First Pool Day!

Dunraven Hike

While on this hike, we experienced fantastic weather! Thunder and lightening with consistant light rain. It felt good to be back on the trail despite conditions. Will was protected as you can see, by a solid rain cover. He seemed to enjoy the adventure as much as we did between naps.
Aspen trees are such a delight! I love the vibrant green leaves when they flutter in the wind.

Will LOVES being in the carrier! It puts him at adult height level and I think he likes that!

Dining With Grammy

Will and Grammy were able to "dine together" via Skype a couple days ago. My mom is full of great ideas!

First Bike Ride

For the first time in MONTHS I was FINALLY able to get back on the saddle! Will is able to sit up assisted and has pretty good trunk control so he can go in the Trek that Bee and Cat gave us.

Such a liberating experience! Steve and I took turns towing Will.  I definitely drew the long stick as I had the wind to my back! That was a good thing too because my riding legs still need some toning. When we swapped Will over to Steve's bike I felt light as tumbleweed and was giddy as ever! Will and I shall have many adventures riding and I'm going to have some seriously strong legs! 

First Meal

Will encountered his first "solid food" last weekend. he partook of the classic rice cereal which was more like a soup than anything. Grandma and Grandpa Holly were present via Skype. Steve's  computer was acting funny, so we lost the connection at some point and weren't able to Skype Grammy and Papa. I've always had a fetish for sitting on counter tops. My mom tried to cure me of it, but unfortunately, I find some strange comfort in it.

He's sitting in a Bumbo- the best invention EVER! Will watches me do most everything in the kitchen while in his Bumbo. We have great conversations about cooking and life and I've learned that he can knock cylindrical things over as well as reach pretty far while in his magic chair. 

Tickle Treatment

As a little girl, my mom would take my braids and tickle my face and ears with the ends. Here, Will gets a bit of tickle treatment from his mama.

Rolly Boy

Paper Stompin'

Will loves something about crinkling paper beneath his feet. Here he's 4 months old.

We've Been Having Fun!

We decided to "hike" to the base of the Flatirons (Boulder, CO). It's been a LONG time since I've been near the climbing scene. Makes me want to go again- it will be fun when Will is old enough to go!

This boy makes me smile!

I realize these photos are blurred, my fault, but I caught Steve's smiles!

Steve is a FANTASTIC daddy!

Will enjoys the taste of the bijorn.

Steve experimenting with his camera settings.

Making new friends.

Growing by leaps and bounds!

Our little logger boy? Love his eyes!

Christmas Lost & Found

Steve was going through photos on his computer and I realized that I must have been side tracked when posting Christmas photos. Here are some more. Sorry it's taking so long to load- it's due to the number of photos. 

Next month is will load fast as these photo generous posts will be archived.
