Made with Love

I've been trying my hand at several different hobbies lately but wanted to find something that I could easily pick up and put down and didn't involve too much of a time commitment at any one time. So I thought I would try my hand at knitting. I've knitted a scarf in the past which wasn't too exciting so I figured I'd dive right in and try knitting a sweater for Will. There is a cute little knitting store in downtown Ridgefield and the ladies who worked there were super helpful. They pretty much gave me free knitting lessons because I went in just about every week to figure out what the next step was. I finally finished the sweater this week (just in time for Will to grow out of it!). I didn't intend for it to be all stripes but I kind of got carried away and then there was no turning back so I just had to make the entire sweater strips. Will was very excited about his new sweater. My next project is a cotton sweater for the summer.....

Playgroup Birthday Party

Who would have thought that almost one year later, our playgroup is still going strong and the friendships even stronger. Over the course of February and March, all of the babies turn one year old. So in typical playgroup fashion, we had a big party to celebrate all the babies birthdays thanks to some great party planners in the group. There was a sing along with Ana, pin the tail on the donkey, push toys, hand print craft, presents, cupcakes, one year yearbook, picture slideshow and lots of food! Will had a blast and was one tired little guy by the end (as were Eric and I). We are looking forward to celebrating Will's birthday a second time come March 14th!

First Steps

Will took his first 4 steps today completely on his own!! I think this is the most exciting milestone yet! My prediction of Will walking at 11 months is definitely not going to be too far off. More to come as soon as I can get a video of him walking.

Nana and Papi's

We headed back to MA this weekend to start the househunting search. I can't believe that our 2 years in CT is already almost over. Time went by so quickly and a lot has happened while we have been here. While I am excited to move back to MA to be closer to family and friends, I am sad to leave CT since we have made so many new friends while here. But anyways..that's a story for another day. After our house hunting trip, we stopped at Nana and Papi's house for a quick visit. Everyone came over for a big Sunday night dinner and Will got to spend some time with his cousin Jakob.

Hey..can I have some of that food?

Jakob wasn't too into the camera. He just looked at me like what are you doing lady?



And here are just some cute pictures of Will that I took. I'm still experimenting with my new camera.

Happy Birthday Noa

We celebrated our first playgroup birthday party today. Noa is the first baby to turn 1 and the rest are not too far behind. We celebrated at Amy's house with lots of food and dessert. We decided to get the babies in their birthday suits to enjoy a little cake of their own. The girls weren't too into the cake...they took one look at it and then crawled away.



The boys on the other hand couldn't get enough of it. Yummy...chocolate! It looks like Will has already enjoyed a little too much cake...look at that belly!!


Will needed to be hosed down in the sink afterwards.

Happy Birthday Noa!! Glad we were able to celebrate it with you!

Super Bowl Babies

Will got to watch his first Super Bowl this year with all of his friends. Our friends Kerry and Jeff hosted the party and had a ton of yummy food. Since Will's Patriots didn't make it this year, he was less interested in the game and more interested in eating every single piece of food he could get his fingers on including all crumbs on the ground, table, and his clothes. He was a maniac and it didn't help that all the food was at perfect arms reach for him on the coffee table.

Here's Will eating one of many crackers. We couldn't get him to stop for a minute to look at the camera. He was too focused on that cracker.




I think this was the first time it was just the boys (Rylee we missed you!) Here are the boys all ready for bed. Somehow we were able to get them all to sit still for a few minutes before having to leave.





Will enjoyed his first Super Bowl and he is looking forward to next year!

Almost There

It seems like just the other day Will wasn't even crawling and now he is getting around the room with lightning speed and pretty soon I think he will be walking on his own. Will is now able to walk around only having to hold on to someone with one hand. He is still a little wobbly but he can make it across the room. Here are some pictures of Will walking.
