Long Overdue Post

Time flies by! I can't believe it has been since March that I have updated the blog. I feel like I haven't been the best at taking as many pictures as I should! With a little guy walking and moving everywhere, I am constantly on my toes and not as much time to take pictures :) William turned 15 months old on April 22. He started walking a few weeks before he turned 15 months old! It is amazing to see him moving and talking like he is. He can say, Mama, Dada, Granddad, Nana, All done, Night night, bath time, Amen, dog, thank you and outside. The new words are coming everyday and he is now doing what you say. If you ask him to go get his shoes in his room he will go do that! His brain is a little sponge and we are loving every second of seeing our little explorer bloom! His favorite thing to do right now is to be outside. From the minute he wakes up till he goes to bed, he wants to be outside :) We have had a busy last few months, so I will try to recap it with a few pictures. Enjoy!

William loves to climb into everything and on to everything! He likes to push his basketball chair up to the couch and climb up and walk all over the sectional!

 My beloved Grandpa "Pops" passed away on April 11th. We were able to go down to Florida twice and see him and spend good quality time with him. He was able to make it to my sister Natalie's beach wedding and then a few days later went home to Jesus. He was an amazing man that walked with the Lord everyday and such an inspiration to all. His laughter was contagious and his love for everyone was remarkable. We look forward to the day when we can be reunited with Pops and our Lord Jesus Christ. Until then, we will cherish our memories and keep singing all of the songs and sayings he taught us :)

 William loved the beach and everything about it! He takes right after his Mommy and Daddy. Next time at the beach we can teach him to hunt for sharks teeth and shells like Pops taught us!

I love this picture of William looking up at Natalie on the beach right after her wedding. Natalie was a beautiful bride! Reese was a precious flower girl!

 William loved swimming in the pool with his Papa!

He was not happy when we had to leave the beach. William sat and played with the sand for 45 min straight! I think a sand box is in order for this little guy soon!

 We went to The Indianapolis Children's Museum and William loved playing in the water and fishing!

 This little guy loves his sand! Again, he cried when we had to leave from the sand table.

 We went to the Indianapolis Indians baseball game with Gram and Javon. Chad's Dad has worked for IPL for 30 years and yesterday was a family day at the game for all IPL employees and their families. Unfortunately Granddad had to work, but we still had a great time at the game! William enjoyed seeing all of the kids and getting to meet a few players!

This picture was taken right after William ate an ice cream cone with Gram. He stuck his entire mouth over the ice cream cone and loved getting messy! That's one of the best parts about being a kid is getting messy and eating ice cream to your hearts content! :) He kind of looks a little sugar buzzed in this picture!
