Will Goes Mobile

William has gone mobile . . . and he is getting quicker every day. It has been really fun to see him explore and discover new things.

New York Trip...

We had such a great time in New York!!! Will did so well through it all. Everyone kept commenting on what a wonderful baby he is. Enjoy the pictures below. (The pictures are kinda' out of order, sorry!)


This is at the Printing Press in Palmyra.



This is us inside the Whitmer Farm outside of Palmyra.


We are a happy family............ Pete was our tour guide while we were in Palmyra. The two reds head are Pete's brothers and his grandmother is standing next to my mom. The rest of us all flew to New York together.

This is us on our way up the Hill Cumorah.


This is on the Hill Cumorah. What a beautiful place!!!


Uncle Andrew being silly in a store in Niagara Falls.


Our whole family together in Niagara Falls.


This was Will's first time being on a carousel. He loved it!


Look at that smile!!


What a cutie!!!



Our sweet little boy turned 6 months while we were on the trip. It's amazing how time flies!


Niagara Falls


The falls from the Canadian side.



Aunt Marianne and Will dancing at the reception.

Marianne and Pete at the temple. It was sprinkling rain all afternoon, but the weather broke just long enough to take a few pictures.









We were excited to find out that Sarah was going to be in town when we got back from New York. Will was all smiles for his Aunt Sarah.

WIll's First Flight

Will got his first taste of air travel this week. We took a trip to Rochester, New York for his aunt Marianne's wedding. He was so good. He was a little wary of takeoff, but after that he was just great. We took the red-eye to JFK and he slept almost all 4 1/2 hours of the flight.

Will and Dad were very tired when we got to New York City. We had to wait there for 3 HOURS!

Here is Uncle Andrew and Will getting on to the smaller plane we took from New York City to Rochester.

Will was getting a little fussy on the last leg of our great journey, so Grandma Mecham gave him a little something to calm him down . . . a COOKIE! We have since come to find out that this isn't the first cookie Will has recieved from the hands of his Grandmother! :)

(This was posted from the Hotel room in Rochester, New York. Next post will have pictures from Niagara Falls and Palmyra, New York.)

Will is 5 months old!!!

Happy 4th of July! Will loved the firework show that his dad, Uncle Andrew, Uncle Chad, and soon to be Uncle Pete put on for us, but he didn't quite make it to doing sparklers.

Sweet little family!

We haven't put him on baby food yet, but he decided he didn't want to wait any longer and he took his daddy's cookie and stuck it in his mouth! :-)

Will loves to sit up, though he isn't quite ready to do it on his own.

He has learned that his feet are quite enjoyable to play with and suck on.

Will loves when Aunt Marianne comes to visit and is looking forward to when she gets to move back to Utah and play with him all the time

This was the first time Will was able to see both set of great-grandparents on his mom's side together. What a treasure of a picture to have.

Yea!!!!!!! Uncle Andrew is finally home!!! Will loves when he is around. Andrew is always able to get Will to smile and laugh.

This was at the airport waiting for Uncle Andrew to come off the plane. He loves to cuddle with his daddy and suck on his fingers.

Just a Quick Post

Will has discovered that he doesn't need a "binky" after all.


Will just loves his Mommy!

Grandpa Lane came for a quick visit last week. (And boy is Grandma Lane jealous)

Will just started holding his head up when he's on his tummy. He hated being on his tummy on the floor, but now he just loves it.

Can life get any better . . . I submit that it cannot!

More Pictures.......Finally! :-)

Will and I have started taking walks in the afternoon which he loves to do! Because of the heat, we make sure he has plenty of sun screen on and wears a hat.


On Tuesday Jody and I took Will outside to feed the ducks that live around our apartment complex. He loved watching them come up to us to eat.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Mecham gave this to Will and he is finally about to play with it. He wasn't quite sure what to think about his Jump-A-Roo, but he loves being in it now. I think he feels all grown-up because he can stand up in it all by himself! :-)

Will and Mom on our first Mother's Day! It was weird to think that I qualified to share in the honors of Mother's Day, but I love being a Mom and feel so blessed to be able to stay home with him each day.

Will loves to clenche his fists.

This was the first time Will and Dad went with out Mom. They had a wonderful time bonding while looking for a present for Mother's day.

Our cute little boy who loves to sit up on his own.

Will loves to play on the floor with Mom and Dad and his toys.

Though Will is starting to become a little independent he still loves to cuddle up with Dad and Mom, which we love!

Will loves to suck on his fingers, just like his mom did.
