William loves eating waffles in his Hawaiian shirt.

Grandma and Grandpa T had the whole gang over for a breakfast dinner. My dad is quite the pro at making omlets and my mom's belgian waffles were scrumptious. Just ask William... He took it right off my plate.

Cousins

Thomas, Jackson, Lincoln, Landon, Kensie, and William (Picture stolen from Natalie)

I love these guys! Getting them to all smile was a little rough (William was not a fan of the whole thing), but they were great, and Grandma and Grandpa were thrilled with their Christmas present!

Welcome January

All I can say is that this year has gotten off to a very busy start! There is lots to catch up on. For example, cutting down Christmas trees, Temple Square visits with Spencer, Andrea, and Thomas, William's memorable first Christmas (it's a good thing he won't remember it), William learning to walk and to crawl on his hands and knees in the same week(he's been army crawling and rolling to get to where he wants to be), and New Years (nothing to catch up on there, it was actually very uneventful besides eating a yummy dinner at my parents' house). Oh, and William has all kinds of fun new things he likes to do. I especially love the kisses he has started giving me when I ask him for one.

I may or may not get around to blogging about all of that, but for now we'll just start with these great pictures of my favorite little guy. He is so fun. I can't believe he'll be 1 year old next month!

William LOVES the drawers and cabinets in every single room. I have stopped folding towels for the time being. He loves this drawer in particular. His toys have a new home. Here is William driving the boat with his buddy Tigger at Toys R Us. We had to pry him off to let other kids have a turn.On Christmas Eve William ate his first pickle. And his second. And his third. And his fourth...
He also likes to eat anything else he can get his hands on. Especially if it's juicy, like a tomato.Life doesn't get much better than this!
