Will got a new pair of rain boots this week and is quite enamored with them. They're a bit on the big side (okay they're enormous on him - we have to put socks and his mocassins on in order to make them fit) but he doesn't seem to mind.

Deuce's room is set up and ready to go - now we just need a baby to put in there. Three weeks left...I'll try to get a picture or two of the room up here soon.

March already...

I tried to put a posting up a couple of weeks ago - a couple of videos of the kitchen and Deuce's room - but the website didn't seem to want to load them. I let it load for almost an hour (these were only 2 minute videos) and I gave up...and now all of a sudden its been a month since I've put anything up. I'll try again tonight but thought I'd throw a couple of pictures in from February just in case the videos are a lost cause.

We took Will to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. We just did the inside exhibits since it was really cold that morning. He was very interested and walked a ton. He lasted about an hour and a half and then was exhausted and melted down. Fell asleep in the car on the drive home and then added a 2.5 hour nap on top of that once we hauled him into the house. We should go to the zoo more often...

Dad telling Will they'll catch fish even BIGGER than this at the river this summer...

At the big fish tank

He seemed to really contemplate what life was about while at the zoo. He walked with his hands clasped behind him like this almost the whole time...

Will's newest words are "up", "more" and "k" (as in -okay-). He's LOVING the puddles that have been forming as we've started our spring warm-up. We go through a couple of pairs of socks every day it seems. He thinks its hilarious to close his eyes and we play the "where did Will go" game. He's also starting to figure out how to actually hide - but he is usually laughing so he hasn't really gotten good at the nuances of hide and go seek...He is STILL obsessed with vacuum cleaners and vacuuming. And I mean obsessed.

Some dinner time jokes

We have to spell the word bath unless we're actually planning on giving him one - otherwise he runs into the bathroom thinking he's going to get one. Loves 'em.

We've been talking more about the baby and reading books with babies in them. He really likes one of them - I'm not sure if he has any clue what it all means...but we're in the final countdown. We thought about getting Will a doll to talk about the whole baby thing, but then we got the picture below from daycare. Will is surrounded by dolls, two other kids playing with dolls, and what does he play with? A truck... I'm at 35 weeks this week. The picture I'll post was taken last week. Deuce is very active but has been letting me sleep pretty well at night.

Nature vs. Nuture?

Six weeks to go....
