BEACH!!!

Here are some pictures from the beach a couple of weeks ago. Yep, I know I'm a little behind, but I tend to stay that way lately. I have no idea why?!

We had a great week. Mom and I went down on Sunday, Paul came down Wednesday and Dad came down Friday after work. Thank goodness for the McDonald's in Snowhill. We stopped there for a changing and feeding on the way down and way home. You wouldn't believe how much stuff you've got to pack for a baby for a week at the beach. And I did laundry a couple of times while we were there!

William and his Dad

So I asked Paul to watch William while I packed us up for the beach. This is what I found when I walked back into our bedroom where they had been watching a basketball game. SO CUTE!!!

William meets Stacey

William got to meet one of my best freinds in the whole wide world on Friday April 2, 2010.
Stacey and her husband Chad had been in South Carolina for her Spring Break for the week. It's not that often that Stacey and I get close to each other since she lives in Indiana. It's usually once every other year or so. Anyway, I drove about 2 hours from Rocky Mount to Lumberton, NC to meet Stacey and Chad at a Cracker Barrel. She and Chad drove about 2 hours from Mrytle Beach, SC to meet us.
We had a WONDERFUL time visiting with each other.
Enjoy the pictures from our visit!!!



Stacey and William outside on the porch. He had started to get a little fussy so she took him outside so that I could pack his diaper bag.

Stacey and William at our table in Cracker Barrel. Did I mention that this was the first time I took William to a resturant? He did great!!!

Bath Time Fun

Here are pictures from one of William's first baths at home in his tub. It's shaped like a blue whale and he does wonderfully in it.
The other day my mom gave him a bath at her house and he cried and cried. She just didn't understand how I said he loves his bath but he cries terribly for her. While we are down at the beach, I of course packed his bathtub and pulled it out to give him his bath and he was totally fine. She just laughed and laughed. Said that she guessed he just didn't like the tub she had.



Mommy and William getting clean in William's whale tub.

He likes the washcloth on him so that he doesn't get too cold.

Such a clean and happy baby!!!

Finally get to post!

Well, I am finally getting to post on update. Paul and I have been having problems with our wireless router at home and I haven't been able to get on the internet on my laptop. Completly annoying! Of course that take bottom priority to Paul in getting it fixed, who says "Just use mine." But I hate his!!!
So, lots of stuff been happening. Of course with a newborn there always is.
William is doing wonderfully! The last time I took him to the doctor he was 6 weeks old and weighed in a whopping 10 pounds and 23 inches long! I can't keep the boy in clothes that fit. He's outgrown most of the 3 months stuff that I have for him.
I unfortunatly had to return to work. If it had been up to me, I would have taken the semester off but I can't. I went back on March 29th, tought for 4 days and then went out for Spring Break! What a way to jump back into it. Some of my students are very glad to see me and so is my principle. William is staying with my Mom, which is awesome because I don't mind leaving him with her. Others are a little iffy and we'll get to that later.
I finally took William to church last Sunday for Easter Sunday. I left him in the nursery. They give you a pager in case anything happens and they need to you to come back before the service is over. Let me tell you, I clung to that pager the entire service! I don't know if I wanted it to go off so I could go and rescue him or that I wanted him to be alright. This was the first time that I left him with someone other than Paul or my mom. They said that he did wonderfully but I don't think that I will leave him again soon. He woke up and they gave him his bottle but instead of following directions she only mixed half the formula into the 6 ounce bottle of water. She said she wasn't sure but if she wasn't sure why didn't she just page me? Anyway, made for a long Easter Sunday lunch at the club because he was hungry and I had to feed him before I could eat. Thankfully, they kept the buffet open and yes, we were the last ones to be in the ballroom eating. Sorry!
Right now, William, my mom and I are enjoying a nice vacation at the beach! We rent a place called Bored of Education down on Emerald Isle for the week of Spring Break. So far we are having a great time. It was a little chilly yesterday but suppose to be beautiful today.
Let me start posting pictures now!
