mom is funnier than dad

finally. we are finally starting to get some laughs out of this kid. he's SO serious! his grandmothers have both gotten him to laugh harder than this, we just didn't have a camera around.  but this was my mom's "joke", and we were still trying to get some mileage out of it.   he laughs at the strangest things...we can't figure it out. and, apparently, what is funny from one person is just ridiculous from another......sorry brian.....

baby's first christmas

the first annual webb christmas (even though we've been married 6 years, i'm still counting this as our first...kids make it!) technically didn't happen until december 26.  i had the stomach bug (or food poisoning...not sure) on christmas, and brian was trying to get it as well.  so, we postponed things a little bit.  luckily, our kid has no idea what's going on.  he was happy as can be on the 25th and the 26th!  we slept in, cuddled a little bit, had some cereal and prunes, and then opened a few presents...on our periodic table blanket, of course. we really didn't get Will much. i figured the grandmothers would pretty much have it covered (oh yeah, and he's only 7 months).

Will got some touch-and-feel books (he's into feeling...and eating...everything these days), Uncle Goose classic wooden blocks,  shape sorter blocks, and a new friend named Wink (that Boo has decided to use as a pillow).....

And then we played for the rest of the morning.  just about perfect as far as i was concerned.

 thanks for the ornament uncle dave and aunt della. Will didn't understand why we wouldn't let him eat it!

happy new year!

brian goes back to work tomorrow, so we have been spending our last few days with him playing with new toys and cuddling as much as possible!  we are supposed to get some snow thursday night.  Will and i are going to do a snow dance so that maybe brian will have a snow day on friday! that would be awesome.

christmas card outtakes

one year i'm going to send out christmas cards with only the outtakes. because, while the sweet, angelic picture is nice, this is way more realistic. we wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that we've got it all together! 

some serious jowls.

furious.

just go ahead and stick your finger in the socket while you're at it.

and a merry christmas to you too...

28, 29, 30, & 31 weeks

these last few weeks have been rough getting these pictures done. not because i'm not motivated to do it. not because i keep forgetting. not because Will isn't cooperating. only because i have stacks of laundry laughing at me, and finding a clean white onesie around this place has been like trying to find a chupacabra.

 it is amazing that i got his face in the 28 weeks picture, because what i was really getting was a lot of this....

i chose this picture because of those lashes. oh the lashes on this child! and his toes are delicious, by the way.

this was the week Will was sick with an ear infection. i was days late on taking pictures, it was right before bed, and he was more than irritated with me. good enough.

all of a sudden, we are getting funny faces galore.

and the mashup...

thanksgiving break

since it's almost christmas, how about a thanksgiving break update? oy!

over thanksgiving break, we celebrated my birthday. my mom made me my favorite meal...ham, mashed potatoes, ham gravy...holy cow. and with a huge cake in front of me, i'm still shoveling in the mashed potatoes.

after thanksgiving dinner at my parent's house, jack and i worked on adding minecraft mods to his new computer. i still have no idea what a minecraft mod is.

then it was off to nana and pawpaw's in poca. the whole gang of cousins was in town which meant tons of entertainment for Will...and we finally got to meet the new addition, sweet Lily Drew.

just chillin with Pap Wise

the girls took turns feeding and holding Will...the best bunch of little mamas ever!

and how sweet are these pictures of nana and pawpaw with all of the grandkids. holy cow, we are one blessed family!

minus riley

think Will is going to fit in with those two knuckleheads on the left? riley really wasn't digging picture time, but she's still cute as a button!

friday morning, Will woke up with a fever of 103. all he wanted to do was sleep.  so we decided to pack things up early and head home to see the doctor.  poor little guy had his first ear infection.  the first antibiotic didn't work, and the second broke him out in a full body rash.  we got very little sleep that next week....how did we survive the first few weeks after he was born?!

caught in the act

white knuckled fists. eyes red and watering. the look of determination. audible grunts.

busted.
