Happy New Year!!!

2008 proved to be an amazing year. Ros and I can't believe how blessed we have been to have such healthy, happy baby. Will is growing so quickly and changing weekly. We are so entertained by our little miracle. Will has showed us both how to enjoy each moment of the day. Our hearts are warmed by his smile and his laugh. So far, 2009 is full of smiles, babbling, and cooing. Will is so close to rolling over and enjoys sitting up to look around. He loves all toys that light up and make noise, which is great for mommy and daddy's sanity.

Mommy must be funny-looking!!!

Those fingers are soooo tasty.....

Christmas in Virginia

Will is the center of attention at his Grandma and Grandpa Kingery's home. Will is being held up by his cousin Russell, while his aunts and uncles and cousins are taking pictures and making him laugh.

The English Family

Great-Grandma English enjoyed holding and loving on Will. Those two were the center of the 2008 Christmas family photos.

Will is hanging out on Grandpa and Grandma's couch.....what on earth is he thinking about???

Christmas in Virginia

Will had a huge Christmas in Virginia. He was greeted by grandparents and family with lots of hugs and kisses. As the first grandchild, needless to say, he is spoiled rotten. We had a lovely time at both homes and enjoyed quality time with our parents and families. As always, the time flew by too quickly.

Our First Christmas as a Trio

Our Christmas Blessing

G-Daddy decided Will should have a red wagon...so Ros assembled a Radio Flyer on New Year's Day. What a great way to begin 2009!!!

Santa Comes to Visit

Thankfully, Santa came a week early to visit Will. He must have known we were headed to Virginia for Christmas. Santa gave Will his very own UT rocking chair, which is every little boy's Christmas wish. Will also got some books, clothes, sock monkey, and a drum that lights up when you play it. He must have been a good boy this year!!!

Will is dancing under the Christmas tree.

He sure is proud of himself sitting in such a big boy chair....

Ros says, "Trust me, his mom bought the hat."

Will Visits Nashville

We took Will to Nashville for the weekend to meet some friends. It was his first time in Nashville...he is such the little traveler. We met our good college friends, Allie and Mike, for a little Christmas shopping and some catching up. We also got to visit more college friends, Paul and Kelly, and meet their son Luke. Will had a great time seeing the beautiful lights at the Opryland hotel and watching all the people walk in the mall.
