Walking through Connecticut

At the end of Feb Will and I took a quick trip to Connecticut so I could say goodbye to my dear friend Katie Gordon before she (and Hubby Pete) leaves for Singapore!  Kelly, Katie and I had a great night out on Friday - starting with Happy Hour at 4pm :) - Will was with my mom, Em and James :).  It was an action packed night but also an action packed week!  One morning in CT Will and James were playing around and Will figured out he could pop himself up to a standing position and walk all over.  It was so neat to watch the wheels moving as he put it all together.  Then he became OBSESSED with walking.  He would not give up.  Fall, back up, fall, back up - all with a HUGE smile on his face.  He was so proud.  Jason and I knew that he would really get going when he was at my parents and sure enough he did.  We also had lots of fun playing with Jamesy boy, spending time with my Grandpa (or Grandpa Jim to Will), Shady Glen lunch, naps, runs and yummy home cooked meals.  We missed Jason lots though and we were both excited to come home and show Daddy the new tricks!

Love this picture.  Its so cute because Will's comfort is to rub his hair or head and you can see him going for his hair during this hug!  Love

Big boy in the rocking chair.  Loved having his feet hang.

Grandson, Grandma and Great Grandpa - we are lucky!

Finally big enough to ride the train

Snowman James!  This was right before he wouldn't let us take a picture so he went face first into the snow revolting.  It was awesome!
