My birthday present!

I celebrated my 30th (gasp!) birthday last weekend with my family. I was so excited to receive a PANDORA bracelet with 2 clips and 5 charms. I've worn it nearly every day! Here is what it looks like:

William Update

I've been terrible about blogging lately. I haven't mentioned any of William's milestones in the past couple months and he's had a LOT of them! He's been walking since he turned 10 months old and now that he is 1 he is practically running! He claps, waves, throws a ball, and rolls a ball too. He has a vocabulary of 3 words: dada, mama, and Della (our cat). He understands the word 'no' and surprisingly, he even obeys it! His favorite toy these days is a ball of any kind. He is also very fond of his grandparent's cuckoo clock. He's a pretty serious boy, but his smile just melts my heart because it's a truly genuine smile when he does break it out :)

Here are his 8-11 months pictures that I never got around to posting. I think you'll find that these pictures capture his seriousness pretty well.

8 months


9 months


10 months


11 months

He had his 12 month check up this week and is 23lbs 4oz (50th percentile) and 30.5 inches (75th percentile). Absolutely perfect, if you ask me!
