Silly Faces of William Brown

This kid has so much personality! I never know which William I am going to capture on camera. He is the sweetest thing in the world until something doesn't go his way. But he can he talked out of or distracted into not throwing a fit pretty quickly. Bret and I are so lucky to have him in our lives. Here's just a taste of his little (and getting bigger by the day!) personality:

mad because he put the shorts on his head, but they got stuck

Dinkel Family Picnic

We traveled to Topeka today for the Annual Dinkel Family Picnic! It is lovely to get together with Susie's side of the family. There are so many cousins & aunts and uncles to talk to and for Will to play with. He has three second cousins who are close to his age and two of them were there to play with.

best giggles!

second cousins!

Light The Night - KC

Bret's mom is a lymphoma survivor and we attend Light The Night each year to celebrate her survivorship! She is an amazingly strong woman and a great inspiration for me.

Although Bret had to work that evening, he was able to come by briefly to help celebration his mom.

William's life goal was achieved that evening when he met Darth Vader. Bret has been reading him Star Wars books since he was born and Vader has become his favorite. Much to my dismay, our son is a fan of the Dark Side.

Papa & Nana made it out as well!

Louisburg Cider Mill

Today we visited the Louisburg Cider Mill. It was their opening weekend with lots of pumpkins and crafts. But most importantly, APPLE CIDER DONUTS! They are little bites of Heaven to enjoy. William has had regular donuts, but these were his first apple cider donuts. He was an instant fan ;)

Delightful!

William & FroYo

Today was William's first time having fro-yo of his own. He has tried it before, but usually shies away because of how cold it is. Today, Bret picked out strawberry flavor and put blueberries and strawberry chunks in it. He was much more receptive to it, probably because he LOVES fruit. As you can see from the pictures, spoons are optional when eating fro-yo ;)

New Addition to William's Crib: A Pillow

We decided to test out a pillow for William in his crib. He has been sleeping just fine without a pillow and we weren't/aren't completely sure at what age a pillow is usually introduced. So we just went for it! He seems to love it. Whenever I go to get him up in the morning, his head is laying on the pillow and he seems so comfy!

Thursday Morning with Dad

Currently, Bret has Wed/Th/Fri off work. He likes to take advantage of these days and spend time with William. He takes William to daycare instead of me (so I get some extra morning time in my classroom, bonus!). I love the bond they have :)
