Week 3-ish

Whoops. I'm a little late with week numero three. My apologies. But I usually like to add pictures to the mix of my blogs and my camera is out of batteries. And I can't find the charger because we were still living without bookshelves and dressers -until I went and bought some on Saturday (many thanks to my friend Kimi for the ride and watching Henry while I scavengered the store for deals). Now we just have to find time to put them together and hopefully our lives will feel less chaotic in our home.
So, what to write about...what to write about? Would you like me to tell you what a typical day is like for Team Williams? You would?! Great.
First off is Matt: Is at work by 7:00 a.m. and home around 6:00 p.m. where his eager family awaits his arrival. Eats, wrestles with Henry, checks for used cars online and goes to bed.
Leigh: Follows Henry around all day. Occasionally cleans and cooks. Worries about the budget, but continues to have to buy things. Sits on the couch at night watching Willy and Hens play, checks for used furniture online and goes to bed.
Henry: Has about three different morning wake ups but usually rolls out of bed around 8:15 a.m. Eats breakfast and tries to learn how to properly use a fork and spoon. Wants to climb on the counters and point to things that are hot. Picks out books for his mom to read to him. Empties the toy chest, but doesn't really play with the toys. Climbs up on Fisher Price Activity Table. Falls off and gets mad. Reads more books. Gets out broom and dustpan. Tries to put something gross in his mouth. Throws things down the stairs. Wants to look in the fridge at things. Tries to eat the fridge magnets. Pretends to go down for a nap, but 15 minutes later has thrown all of the blankets and binkies out of his crib therefore giving his mom the chance to manually rock him to sleep because he is now too tired and upset to do it on his own. Eats PB&J or mac & cheese for lunch. Repeats everything he did before his first nap but wants to read more books. Wrestles with his dad, takes a bath and goes to bed...kind of.
I know, exciting right. Don't you wish you were us, living the glamorous life? Til next week! Good-byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Week 2

For Christmas, Willy and I were a little short on time to pick out gifts and the cash flow. Therefore, I gave a "promise gift" to my mom that I would do one blog posting a week for a period of time. This isn't the first promise gift I have given her...when I was eighteen, I think for Mother's Day I gave her a promise that I would not get my navel pierced and another year I said that I wouldn't get a tattoo until I was over 21 (I still don't have any body art). Honestly, what's a better gift to give then peace of mind that your adult/teen daughter isn't out pierced and inked!?! Anyways, I'm tryin real hard to make this gift a good one because I got such great Christmas presents myself this year.
My life just isn't that exciting at times which makes blogging hard, but I do have a little boy who I find quite amusing...and Matt and I have a few events we go to here and there.

Like for instance, our wonderful, absolute favorite friend in the world got married a few days before we left for Wisconsin. Way to go Hilmo! Willy was his best man. These boys have been friends since middle school and were roommates when Matt and I got married. They both looked very handsome and Kim, the bride, was gorgeous, BUT the lighting was crazy and my camera didn't pick up any good shots of the wedding.
Here's Hens fresh out of a bath of our new townhouse we are renting. As you can see we have NOTHING right now accessories wise. I will be taking pics of our place once we get some dressers, bookshelves and rugs. For now, our stuff is just piled in corners and it's not suitable for the internet. (Oh, you might also notice the toliet tissue is not on its normal spot. Henry started rolling it everywhere and ripping it up about a month ago. I thought that started later. Booo!)

This was taken today right before nap time. He'll be 14 months old tomorrow. We our very happy with his cute personality and progress. Yesterday Henry finally signed 'more' during dinner. I have been tryin to get this kid to sign something FOREVER. I may have felt prouder of myself than I did him when he put those little fingers together to ask for more because I figured I had failed at actually teaching him sign. Anyways, guess what the food was that he signed 'more' for??! J-E-L-L-O! It was his first time havin it too. Soooo funny. As of now, he signs just that one thing, but he can say HOT, CHEESE, JUICE, BALL, BAT, TEETH, THANK YOU, UP, TREE, NO (which is annoying) and COOKIE. There might be some other words he can say that I'm just not remembering right now.
