President Lincoln

Another fun thing we did during my parent's visit was go see the town where our former President was born.

We got to see a replica of the house he was born in, and learned about his life as a boy.

 We got to see a memorial built to honor him him, that keeps the house safe. There is a stair leading up to it for every year he lived.

Mammoth Cave

ISO: Bookends for a childs room, I really only need one, so if you only have one from the set, I would still be interested.

Not only were most of the tours sold out by the time we got there, but they were to long and to  much walking so we just went in one cave on a self guided tour.

I was so crazy to see these huge tunnels made almost completely by water, and to think that people use to come down here in the cold everyday to mine salt.

We all had a blast, and learned so much. I was kind of excited to see my first bat, but no such, luck.

Accessorizing

When you live with me, you have to know how to accessorize.

 Whether it is with hats,

necklaces,

Or sun glasses, you always have to look good, and William has that down!

Motorboat

Nick loves to motorboat at William, always bringing a huge smile to his face. After a few weeks of doing this William just decided to try it himself. This brings his love of blowing bubbles to a whole new level, and he couldn't be happier.

4th of July

William was so excited that it was the 4th of July!

We all hope that you had a great day, very relaxing and full of fun. Enjoy some fireworks for us!

6 Months Old

My sweet little boy turned 6 months old this last week. He had a checkup and another round of shots, and he did fantastic. He weighs 15 lbs, 15 oz and is in the 22%. He is 27 inches tall, in the 70%.

As I was washing his size 6 month clothes, I remember thinking back to sorting through them when he was only a month old and thinking that it will be forever before he fits into them, but it wasn't nearly as long as I  though it would be.

He is getting great at sitting up on his own, and has really improved rolling over. I'm going to come into the room one of these days and he will have crawled to the other side! You can tell he really wants to crawl, he just hasn't quite figured it out yet.

Nick and I are both loving watching him learn and grow, and I wouldn't trade being a Mom for anything, especially not to this sweet little boy.

Haave you met Monkey?

 William was givin this super soft monkey for Valentines and it has become one of his favorite toys.

Where ever William is, Monkey is right there with him, or at least close by.

They have an agreement that William can yell at him, throw him, and suck on his face.

As long as Monkey is there when he needs him.

He hasn't quite gotton attatched to him, but you can be sure that as soon as Valentines comes next year, I will be looking for another one. Just in case.
