Will had an amazing day with all of his favorites, playing in the pool with duckies, eating pizza & cake:

Escaping the stress of moving with Sesame Street and best friend, Bryce, in West Virginia

Passed out in LaLa's arms ~ both Grandmommys were his saving grace over the move!
Apparently, disdain for cleaning is genetic.

Exasperated in traffic on the way home
Daddy got to bring home the new Pontiac Solstice convertible roadster for a few days... and Biggie took it over!
Santa 2005!
Walking up to the Big Man
Such a relief! So glad we went early in
the season, before Santa got jaded and
there were any lines. Santa had as much
time to spend with Will as he wanted,
and the two of them completely
cracked each other up!
November 2005 ~ 15 months old
November 10 - at friend Aidan's house
Rockstar
Will's 2nd haircut - he sat still...as long as we kept spraying water from the mister into his mouth!

Will was a beagle and mommy was a princess!
We went to several friends' houses in our neighborhood.
Will really got the hang of grabbing as much as he could in one handful out of the candy bowls!
Hands full!
He kept trying to escape the wagon!
Skittles are fun to shake!
What sound does a dog make? Woof, woof, woof!
Home, again, with Bonnie kisses. Look - we have TWO dogs!
Finally costume-free and loving LaLa, who came down from Charlotte to celebrate with us!

Will cannot get enough of
his best friend, Bonnie. He
will run and hop up on any
couch where she's resting
and hug & kiss her...until
she's had enough and
runs away!
