Weekend in Olympia!

Finally, Will got to meet Cara and Brian! We picked both Cara and Brian up from the airport and headed down to Summit Lake (15 miles west of Olympia) where we enjoyed a relaxing weekend with Cara's family, and Lori and Dave.

The lake water was a little too cold...

So, we spent time on the deck talking, while Will played.

And the boys played with their air soft guns. Will is going to have tons of fun with these guys. They definitely loved him!

Thank you Bob and Glenda for a great weekend, and we can't wait to see Cara and Brian again!

Best Photographer Ever!

Monday we had a playdate with the Bugbee boys. While Alex napped, William was content playing with all of Alex's toys. Jen also took the opportunity to take a couple of pictures. Seriously, could she be any more great at it?! Thanks Jen, you're the best!

Finally, It Happened!

We've been busy in the White household the past few weeks. Between graduation parties for our cousin Jane and uncle Patrick, and birthday party for Daddy, Will's first tooth finally decided to make its appearance. This is the best picture I managed to take of Will's tooth, you can kind of see it...bottom left tooth. He's been a man on the move lately, with endless energy. Heaven help us when he learns how to crawl!

Oh, and we're sporting a couple of war wounds in the photo, a scratch on his nose that you can't see, and a nice bruise above his left eye from bonking his head.

7 Months

Where does the time go? William is 7 months old and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. We are almost sitting up on our own. William can hold the sitting up position for about 30 seconds before he falls over. And, we are getting closer to crawling. He doesn't have a problem with rolling to where he wants to get to. Often times, when we get him up from his nap, he will have turned 180 degrees and wormed his way down to the foot of the bed. His nap schedules are pretty regular now. He takes a 2 hour nap from 10-12 in the morning, and then a 45 minute afternoon nap, usually around 3. Nighttime sleeping, we are still getting up once in the middle of the night. We are hoping we return to sleeping through the night soon. William is loving his solid foods. We have so far introduced rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, applesauce, sweet potatoes, and peaches. He has starting reaching out to people he wants to have hold him, and has mastered reaching out, picking up, and transfering his toys from one hand to the other. He is full of smiles, still loves his Jumperoo, and carries on quite the converation with Bailee to the point it makes you wonder what on earth they are talking about. We love this little man and he never ceases to amaze us.
