The Playset

Papa wanted to give Wilson a playset for Christmas... the piles of wood were a little intimidating and the sight of Tom and Brian hovering over large power tools frightens me!






Progress was made smoothly and quickly. The kit promised that the playset could be assembled in 8 hours or less-- well, it took these guys a few days, but they did a fabulous job!!!
Watching Wilson having so much fun on his own slide and swing makes it all worth it. Actually, it is debatable who gets the most out of the playset-- me, since I don't have to get into the car to take Wilson out for some good playtime outdoors, Wilson, or anyone who is etertained by his "weeeeeeee's" and hysterical laughter.




Thank you Papa, So Much!!!!!

Happy Birthday Granddaddy!

We went out for a little birthday celebration at Coco's while Nana was here. Wow, Dad, you are really old... but thanks for an excuse to go out to dinner, and I hope you enjoy your Nearly-Giant Snowglobe!

The Box

Some people prefer to thing outside of the box, however Wilson apparently likes to get into the box. Hmmm... what in the world gave him this idea?

Nana

I took the kids to SaSa's house for a visit with Nana, visiting from Florida for Thanksgiving... last Thanksgiving she met great grandson, Wilson. This year she met great granddaughter, Alexandria. She is 92 years old, and still a gorgeous woman!









Wilson goes straight for the blue box of toys at SaSa's house... he knows where his toys are. SaSa loves that Wilson loves SaSa's house!
And here's SaSa with the princess...

Papa

We are so blessed to have most of our families right here in Charleston, which means we get to see and spend time with them on a regular basis. Wilson adores his grandparents-- it is priceless to see! Here is a very proud Papa (Brian's dad), with his two newest grands...

18 Months

I wanted to document Wilson at 18 months old...

he is a "sweet loving duck", to which he replies, "QUACK!"

He is getting busier and busier, sometimes better on his feet, but still not the most coordinated cookie on the sheet. He is pretty sweet towards Alexandria, but is still getting used to her presence in our lives. He is still a pretty good eater-- getting a bit pickier. I suppose he is just more able to express his own opinions. Quesadillas, mac-n-cheese, green beans and peas... these are our staples. I am trying to expand out food horizons, slowly but surely.

A lap cuddle and a book is his favorite thing to do, and he likes to run around and laugh and play pee-pie anytime. When Daddy comes home, it is all about him, and on weekends he gets very attached. Wrestling and hopping on pop are great Daddy activities-- in fact if you pull out the "Hop On Pop" book, Wilson will immediately lay down in the middle of the floor on his back, just like Brian does! Wilson is all boy-- very busy, likes to bang and or throw things.

Wilson uses his own language, one that does not include most consonants... green, three, tree, keys-- they are all "eeeeeee", but it is fun that we can communicate more and more!!! We think he is very smart... but what else would we think?

Anyway... I suppose that's all for now.

Where, oh where?

have the last 8 weeks gone? Where, oh where could they be?

I have been a delinquent (sp?) blogger...
but I am going to try to catch up a little tonight.
