i love the 1/2 birthday. i insist on acknowledging mine and have even told complete strangers that the day was upon us. i celebrate mine on march 22 (no gifts required - emails are welcome.)anyway...enough about me. yesterday was wil's 1/2 birthday. his 1st 1/2 birthday, in fact, and neither of us can believe it. we love him more every day and remain in awe that he came from us.
the top 5 things fun facts about 6 month old wil1) he eats everything...literally. if he is sitting with us as we begin dinner (or breakfast, or lunch) he will reach for the food on our plates and, on occassion, take it from us for himself. he loves fruit, vegetables, chicken, cheerios, pizza crust and buns from chick-fil-a. we are glad he has a healthy appetite...that leaves no doubt that he came from us. ha!
2) he can sit up by himself. fun!
3) he scoots backward all over the house.
4) he flirts incessantly with women...in the neighborhood, in the grocery store, in the gap...old, young, attractive, not so much, everywhere and anywhere. and they love it.
5) he loves, absolutely loves, snapping. and, evidence that he's sure to be brilliant, he has started trying to snap himself. it's hilarious and remarkable but that little thumb and middle finger go together as he watches us and, although he doesn't attempt the motion, we think it's pretty cool that he gets those chubby little fingers together.he's fantastic. i won't apologize for thinking so. we are thrilled with our 19 lb, 12 oz baby who grew an inch and a half last month and looks more and more like his dad every single day.
happy 1/2 birthday wil! here's to many, many more.

HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAY WIL!!!!!!! many more to come. love you, shawn & tia
He's pure joy! Happy 1/2, Dude! (It's a little known fact that at your 1/2 birthday you achieve "dude" status.)
p.s. Betsy, I'm putting your half birthday on my calendar. I'll never forget again!
Had to get my shades out to read this post - he is such a beautiful bright light! That smile! Happy half, Wil!
When Ryan sent out the pics of his birth, one of the first things I noticed was his snapping! He must be hearing some really cool rhythmic tunes in his head, or is trying to catch the eyes of the ladies - along with that smile....did i mention the smile???
he is sooooo cute, and i can't wait to see him in a couple of weeks. i think he and stella will be hilarious together! i, too, will add march 22 to my calendar!
your right...he is FANTASTIC!
can't wait to see you, wil, and ryan soon! love you bunches and safe travels to the lone star state!
i can't believe i forgot your half birthday. we'll just consider the books i sent you as your very belated 1/2 birthday gifts. whew...i inadvertently absolved myself.
he is the cutest thing ever!!! i must hold him!
We are going to be so sad and lonely 'round the 'hood without Wil. Hope y'all travel safe and have lots of fun...we will hold down the fort!
xx
