Long Overdue!

I guess it is time for me to update our family blog! I have been harassed by my lovely sister-in-law to the point where she has now given up on me updating it :) We've been fortunate that Shan has been working from home for quite a while now. We are hopeful for a little bit of travel here in the near future though. It can be difficult sometimes when he works from home almost every day and there is no real break. Will is still doing speech therapy. He isn't talking, but there is progress. I had him evaulated for OT, but as of now nothing has come of it. I am looking to have him evaulated by someone other then Babies Can't Wait.

Recently, Will and Shan spent Memorial Day weekend up in North Carolina. I was away from him for 4.5 days. It was hard to be away from him, but it was good for the both of us. He had a fabulous time with the grandparents and great-grandmother. He didn't seem to miss me too much :) We are planning another trip to NC soon, once we know when the tasting room is going to open. We also have tentative plans for travel to PA.

I'll add a video of Will falling asleep at a mexican restaurant soon. I'll also add a few new pictures soon too!

Pictures With Santa

Just over a week ago, we went to see the Phipps Plaza Santa here in Atlanta. As you can see from the pictures, he was not a fan of Santa. I have uploaded both this year and last. I hope one day he learns to like Santa...maybe when he has the understanding that Santa brings him toys :)

Will and Santa

Yesterday morning we had our picture with Santa. Just like Santa predicted last year, Will was not happy to sit on his lap. Our picture will be of him crying on Santa's lap as it was last year. Once the picture was taken, I went over and held him while Santa talked to him. We went with two other friends, the Mayeux and Gersch families. Lily was pretty much the same as Will, while the Mayeux kids rocked their time with Santa. I hope that one day Will takes to Santa so well. Once we get the picture in the mail, I'll post it here.

Will's First "School" Day

Will had such a great time at MMO this morning. They said he played well and ate all his food. Of course today was the day he was going to poop twice in a row and make his little bottom raw, but besides that moment, he was a happy child. As long as he enjoys his time there, I will think about putting him in for another day at the beginning of the year. I really missed having him home with me, but I love that he had a good time.

Will's Starts MMO on Tuesday

I have signed Will up for Mothers Morning Out starting on Tuesday. For right now he is going to go just once a week. If he thrives and really enjoys going, then when he turns 2 in January I will try to get him in another day of the week. I am hoping that this might help him open up and begin to talk. Wish him luck!

West Cobb Avenues Fall Festival

Yesterday afternoon we went to the West Cobb Avenues for the Fall festival. Will looked so cute in his costume, but wasn't much help when it came to taking pictures. He had more fun running around dodging people walking. Here are a few of the pictures I was able to get. Sorry if some of them are blurry, but he didn't stand still for very long.

Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to Berry Patch Farms and had a nice family outing. My Aunt and her two little girls, Katie and Mackenzie, came with us for the trip. We went for a hayride and then walked through the patch to the pumpkins. We took some pictures, but didn't find a pumpkin. There was hope of us getting a small pumpkin, but they were all gone by the time we got there. We are planning to go next week to the local church around here to get our pumpkin(s) for Halloween. Until then, here are a few pictures we took at the patch.
