Photo Archives

So I may have figured out how to better upload pictures to the blog- yea! I have to shrink them and then (well it doesn't really matter does it) So, as I look back I have found some older photos that I meant to post. Hopefully in the next week I will catch up to real time, but for now here is are a few photos pulled from the archives of the last few months. (We have had Will for 6 months now- can you believe it? :) )

This is the ergo carrier- expensive but worth it and its how I carry Will around. This is his favorite position- on the side so he can he see front and back. Here we are all decked out in winter gear.
I love this picture on Daddy's shoulders. This is Will's favorite way to be carried on Daddy- he just bops around town waving to everyone from his lofty position. (He is really in to the wave- waves at everyone on the street, on the subway, everywhere)
Now this photo is back from when we were in Washington DC getting his passport. Well it was a little colder than I thought and as we walked around that night I realized that will was maybe a little cold- so we had to make do- those are my pink gloves on his web looking feet. All these other parents had their kids so cutely dressed and matching, but not our boy- I am the mom that didn't plan ahead (but he's still pretty cute huh?)

Hollywood

This is a shirt my sister Maggie gave to Will- doesn't he look like a star? I mean how cute is he? And can you see that molar that came in on his right side- oh my that was a lot of pain- and he still has three more coming. And can you see his haircut- that was done by Den and myself. Our helper who comes twice a week told me when she saw the haircut "Oh let me help you fix it." I was a little offended- ok he does look a little like Moe from the three stooges but only a mother can say that right?

*** Also just wanted to say that our internet has been soooo slow and this is the first picture I have been able to upload in a long time! So sorry for the lack of post- but I have been trying. Hopefully it will get better*****

By the Pool

A few more pics from vacation- Will hanging by the pool. Sorry I couldn't get the photos to rotate (I need Den's computer for that) but just turn your head to the right and you can see. Babies in just a diaper are so cute!
More later.....

We're back!

Hello! Sorry we have been a little out of commission- but we were AGAIN traveling- (our last one for awhile- yea!) We are settling back into our cold apartment here and I promise more pictures or our sweet boy. He just keeps getting cuter and cuter! I have lots of pictures to show from our vacation down south- so I am going to try and post a few every day. Here are a few from Will's first beach experience. As you can see it took some time to get used to but he liked it eventually.

Ok, so no birthday video...

Will turned the big 1.0 last week! It was fun, lots of friends came, and we even made Will a big cupcake, complete with chocolate frosting, and HE ATE THE WHOLE THING! Here's the problem though: in all the excitement, neither of us took a single picture of the event. Our little boy's first birthday passed by without a single still photo as evidence that we actually celebrated it. We did take video; but due to the length of the video (and our technological limitations), we're unable to post it to the blog. SORRY! You'll just have to take our word for it that his methodical, and eventually, quite messy disassembling of the cupcake was really, really cute. (Especially the part where he raised his messy hands in triumph when he was done.)

So, in lieu of the birthday video, we were about to post another charming video, this time of him checking himself out in the mirror, but apparently that one's too big too. We might be on to something here... maybe the videos aren't too big, but maybe our internet is too slow! Hmmm... Maybe all hope isn't lost on ever getting to see him eat that cupcake. Here's hopefully looking to faster connections in the near future... Oh well, in the meantime enjoy these pictures of Will meeting our social worker and friend Lisa, who helped us bring him into our family:

Long Time No Post .....and the crawl

Well yes I have done it again and waited forever to post again-but I am going to get better. We just made it back to China and are re settling in and working on baby jetlag- very different than adult jet lag- takes twice as long! Den has been nice and has been taking the "graveyard shift" when Will wakes up in the middle of the night ready to play. It is getting better and I know its one of those time to apply that ever so popular phrase...this too shall pass. I just wish the phrase was, this too shall pass, quickly!!

I have been wanting to post this video for awhile. Will crawling. Den thinks when he's in the buff crawling that he looks like Gollam (that "my precious" character from Lord of the Rings). WE love it- always makes us laugh. Will is pulling up and almost standing on his own so it looks like he will be moving on from the crawl soon.

more later..

Fun with Friends

In my last post I was recapping our last 4-6 weeks and I accidentally left out our fun visit with Eva and John -sorry! So here are a few pictures from our fabulous lunch together, which was at Panera- oh those bagels are so good-Message to Panera: Franchise in Asia...puhlease!
Eva and Will having fun together!

Will meeting John.
Don't you love his hairstyle?
