Hurricane Ike

Hey everybody. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are okay. Our street faired very well during the storm, although I can't say that for the rest of the neighborhood, or city for that matter. LOTS of downed and uprooted trees and power lines. Cell phone service is still out as well. We still don't have electricity, but luckily Meredith, my best friend in the whole world, got power back on Saturday night so we've been here since Sunday. Hopefully her and Lance don't get too sick of us. We are so lucky they took us in.
Mom, if you read this, I can't get calls yet so probably just wait until Sunday when you get off the ship, or email if you can. LOVE YOU!!!

Stats

Took Will to the doctor on Tuesday for his 12 month check up. He weighed 27 1/2 pounds and was 29 3/4 inches long. So I was a little off, but not by much. My little boy is still HUGE and it's getting harder and harder to lug him around :)

Everyone stay safe.

Will's 1 year pics

For Will's 1st birthday Grammie took him and had his first professional pictures made. These are just scans of the pics so the quality isn't that great. But he's still such a cutie.

Lamb Family Update

Lots have been a happenin around here. Will turned 1 the Friday before I went back to work and things haven't slowed down since. So I apologize that this update is coming so late.
Will has been doing great. He turned 1 and definitely turned into a toddler over night. He is such an easygoing little guy (I say this quietly, so as not to jinx it) :-) He sleeps great at night, naps great in the daytime. About 2 weeks before he turned 1 I started taking bottles away from him during the day and giving him a sippy cup. When I realized that he really could care less either way I took away the bottles completely with no fuss. I kept the last bottle before he went to bed for a few weeks, more for my comfort than his because that was our cuddle time, but as of last week, No More Bottles. It's amazing. The pacifier might be a different story. He doesn't use it all the time, just sleep time, car rides, and when he's really upset, so I figured I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Will is also more and more independent. He is walking more and more. A few posts down I posted a video of him. He also will not eat any babyfood whatsoever. All tablefoods now. If he can't feed himself, he won't eat it :-) His two bottom teeth are completely in, and 4 of his top teeth all cut through in the last week. With very little fuss (for which I thank God for) :-) He doesn't go in for his 12 month check up until next week so I'm not sure what he weighs or how tall he his but my guess is about 27 pounds about about 31 or 32 inches long. I'll let you know next week how close I was.
My pregnant behind is tired though :-) I know I know you don't have to say it. "if I'm tired now just wait till the baby comes..." blah :-) Last dr. appt was great, everything looks and sounds great. I go back to the dr next Thursday. Big ultrasound isn't until Oct. 14th. I think it's a boy, Brandon thinks it's a girl. Will thinks it's a boy too since he's been saying "bubbubbubbubbub" a lot lately :-) Thats about it here. I'll try not to be a blog slacker anymore, but I can't make any promises....

Random cuteness pics:

bathtime baby

on Saturday mornings I let him eat his breakfast in the walker while he watches cartoons
He found his nose, now his finger is always there.....

Future Tiger

This past Saturday was the kickoff to a great season of LSU football. While I wasn't born an LSU fan, I am one by marriage (shhh, i'm still a sooner fan too!!) :-) But Will has it in his blood and there is no denying who he roots for. Geaux Tigers!!

Mullet Man

Business in the front

Party in the back

Brandon won't let me cut his hair yet. So my beautiful little boy has a mullet. He's still so stinkin' cute though!! Definitely the cutest mullet I've ever seen HAHA

Walkin' Man

I finally was able to capture on video Will walking. It's pretty cute but I'll admit it, I'm biased. He walks with his arms straight out in front of him. My guess is to balance out his wide load in the rear (hey, he is my child after all, haha). It makes him look like a drunk Frankenstein. Anyways, sorry he only has a diaper on, but at home, he really would rather not wear clothes :-)
