Thaw before reheating.

Tonight, Will used a spoon at dinner — all by himself! We got out the video camera and everything.
We don’t anticipate this being a nightly event (gravity is still something Will is getting used to during the food-to-mouth process) but it was very exciting to watch him put food on his spoon and then eat the food off the spoon. We cheered, “hooray!!” and Will got very excited after every bite and cheered with us. Hooray!
Could Will be the newest member of KISS? 
Happy Man! Margarita had a family emergency this morning (her son called us at 7 to let us know we’d be without her today) so… I had an unexpected family day. It was a perfect morning for it… well into the 70s, light breeze, clear sky — gorgeous!! Will and I went on a long walk through the neighborhood, stopped in on an interview of a local celebrity socialite, and stepped into Whole Foods for milk and a drink of water. Then we came home and played until nap time. Will is holding his beloved golf club in this picture.
Paul’s most current project: The Networking Closet! NOTE: this closet is ABOVE the full sized closet in Will’s room… about 8′ up. Paul re-inforced the closet floor, built special shelving, installed outlets, ran wires, added the circuits and is now installing the equipment. In addition to this, Paul has installed another recessed light in the hallway and put up an inter-connected smoke detector system that runs through the attic and into each room. As Will would say, “WOW!”
Whew — I’m so happy it is the weekend after such an exhausting week!
Granna came yesterday afternoon, complete with toys for Will:
– new fuzzy-touch book
– TWO tri-cycles (a smaller, fischer-price and a larger, “red flyer”) — Granna and PapPap took note as Will ran after some of the older kids’ bikes in the park and decided to start Will off in this direction
– 18″ bouncy ball (another toy of someone else’s that Will has been interested in)
– A “sports station” complete with t-ball, golf, basketball, and baseball. PapPap was very, very happy to hear that Will’s favorite part is the golf club
Elizabeth Hamiliton, (part of our super-cool dual degree-er cohort at Michigan, my dear friend, and who I want to be when I grow up) delivered little baby Elijah into the world Tuesday morning! We’ve heard that he is a sweet bundle of 8 pounds, 2 ounces and 20 1/2 inches of perfect! In Mom’s words, he is “freakin’ precious” and I can’t wait to visit LA and shower him with presents, hugs, and kisses!!!
Being privvy to Elizabeth’s pregnancy has taught me quite a lot and I am thrilled to have such a level-headed, like-minded Mom to share parenthood with!!! So, although the we lost the World’s Most Awesome and Amazing Pregnant Woman on Tuesday, we have gained the World’s Best New Mom!!
