August Update

Well, not much new going on in the Williams' household. We are enjoying the summer weather and spending a lot of time outside still. Lily was in swimming again which occurs every single day! We have been out at the lake too, where I actually get to play in the water. The fair was this week so we went last night. I think I had the most fun out of everyone in my family and am looking forward to going back next year.

Eating strawberries? Nope, not me - I'm playing Scarecrow to keep the birds away. Sticks and stones

Like a couple of cloth-diapered super heroes.

My first tree climbing experience - no broken bones

A hard day's work really builds up the appetite

Oops, I wore my Conductors uniform to the Construction Site

Pooping contest?

Can't wait to see the real things at the Fair

Lots of pointing and making animal sounds today, got lots of smiles and laughs out of my parents

Ok Lily, you steer and I'll do the pedals
One priceless bucket-load

Spokane!!

We returned from Spokane last night after a long day of driving. I don't mind the car so much until hour 6 then I 'highly recommend' that my mama sits with me to entertain me, then I'm cool. We had a lot of fun there and got to spend some quality time with the family. It was very hot, which meant we spent a lot of time by the pool and even went up to "The River" with Great Grandpa. Watch out, mama takes a lot of pictures.....

On the way there with my sissy's baby (or mine?)

First things first, let's hit the pool
"SAY CHEEEEEEEEESE!!"
This 'cheese' joke never gets old

Will someone please play Tetherball with me? Or at least help me down off the base?

Dad, I don't know why the rock only glows when I hold it. What do you think it means?

Dada showing Lily how to do a back dive - how did this get on MY blog?

My dada's so bright, I gotta wear shades

Check out my arm - that's a good 3, maybe 4 feet

'Color' for crayon was one of the words I picked up on this trip. I started talking a lot more while we were away

Great Grandpa, will you read to me too?

These long days really wear a guy out

Ahh the pool and the toys - life is grand

My first ride on the carousel - even did my 'King of the World' impression

Yep - tired again.

hmmm - it's hot out, but that feels pretty cold

Watch your head Grandma, that last one looks pretty low

I like this wading pool thing, just for guys my size

That's a scream of excitement. And we totally smoked that girl in the next lane thanks to Dada and gravity - sometimes they're a good pair

Grandma's pretty bright too

You don't know what you're talking about, these swim diapers are all the rage in Europe

Spaghetti followed by cupcakes - I think I'd like to move in
That concrete was cracked before I got my equipment out, I swear.

Just A Couple More

Lily was thankfully feeling better today so we headed out to see our friends one more time. I had to share a few quick pics from our short visit and trip to the beach. Now we are packing and heading to Spokane tomorrow and I'm sure I'll have a ton of pictures to share when I get back!

Sunny days and Godparents!

I'm 16 months old now and starting to talk more and I have been interacting with my sissy more and more. She reads books to me and we play together more. She likes to interpret for me, as well as ask me questions, although she answers for me too. I am starting to walk faster and even run a little bit, which will keep my momma on her toes at the park.
My Godparents came to visit this week but unfortunately my sister got sick after/during our visit with them on Monday so we didn't get to spend that much time with them. They have a new baby, Hank (Henry) who is so adorable (Yes, I LOVE babies!). We are going to be buddies, I can't wait!

Just a sleeping snapshot

Self tanning looks totally natural. You can't tell can you? Sneaking a ride on my sister's scooter

I think I'm almost as excited to someday ride this thing as my papa! Momma finally let me out of the stroller at swim lessons so I can sit like a big boy. I showed her she can trust me ;) I thought the girls could use a little help with the castle This could be fun!
Yes!!
A trip to Lake Padden on Friday. The water was a little colder than I expected.

I soon overcame the chill and had a blast playing in the water with sticks and rocks

Until I got a little tired

And needed to snuggle up and get warm in the sun again
