Learning to play with Maeby

Will and Maeby are slowly learning to accept and play with each other, and Will took a big step this evening. Here he is mimicking Beth by crawling after Maeby and roaring at her.

Womelsdorf Reunion

Last weekend Nick, Will, Abbey and I headed out to Eastern PA for a Richard family reunion. Will had a lot of fun staying in his first hotel, especially with his aunts and grandparents next door! And he got his first Valentine's heart from Grandpa Meyer!


We got to spend a lot of time with his Great-Grandpa and Grammie!


We also got to meet Will's newest cousin, Kaelyn (actually, my first cousin once removed and Will's second cousin...see here) - Will just wanted to keep touching her, he was so fascinated by her! And, at 8 lb. 13 oz and 5 weeks old, we marveled that Will was NEVER that size this side of my uterus!

Hanging with Aunt Anita and Uncle Mike!


Testing out walking - I mean, it's already been a whole week since he's been crawling, why wait?!


My Grammie and Pop with their six kids (Mike, my mom, Mark, Marsha, Michelle, and Melynda).

His new favorite toy from Grammie - he just loves pushing himself along and hitting the music buttons!

He thinks he's pretty big stuff with his new little truck, and we just can't believe how fast he's learning new things!

Uh oh...

Well, we're in for it. The boy is mobile.

Just last night Will popped up on all-fours, like he's been doing since Christmas, and then started putting one hand and one knee in front of the other, and the boy is crawling. It's a joy to see it happening, to see him trying so hard to get where he wants to go, but already we're identifying what needs to be child-proofed.

Thanks to the blessing of technology, we were able to show all of Will's grandparents some of his first crawls. We plopped the computer down on the floor, fired up the video chat, and they got to see a ground-level view of him crawling towards them.

Really, Really, Ridiculously Good-Looking

We're pretty sure that Will is going to be a male model. I mean, he's got the looks down!

He's still working on it. It's gonna blow us all away. I shouldn't even be talking about it.

The Running of the Brides

My little sister Marina is getting married in August! So, of course, we had to find a dress! Filene's Basement annual "Running of the Brides" was held this last Friday, Jan. 30, so it worked out perfectly to head there to see what we could find. Every other bride in the tri-state area had the same idea! :)

Marina is, how would you put it, particular? So, needless to say, we were concerned that it was going to be a long morning, even though there were almost 2000 dresses there. However, she fell in love with 3 stunning dresses and had a hard time choosing which one she liked best! She eventually chose a beautiful ivory strapless dress with delicate beading all over, with a chapel train. It will look perfect next to her fiance's Air Force uniform.

The video is a bit long, but it's worth the watch! We had a crew of 9 ladies consisting of my four sisters, me, my sister-in-law, mother, and aunt. Of course, we had matching shirts, which came in handy in the confusion! Enjoy!
