Ringing In the New Year



Doesn't Jack look like his been out all night and part of New Year's Eve festivites? Actually he and Will went to bed at their normal time with no idea that the world around them was welcoming the new year.

Welcome 2006! I must admit I've been looking forward to this year because I find the "6" to be so much easier to write than the "5". Aside from that small detail I'm looking forward to a year filled with new challenges and adventures. I am getting ready to go to work part-time which means Will and Jack will be trying out daycare. I'm excited for this new adventure, but also somewhat unsure what it will be like to have someone else watching the boys all day.

What's new with the boys?

Will is talking so much. He can tell you what he wants, what he wants you to do, and what Jack and Gus are doing. He knows so many words I won't even bother trying to count them. He climbs on everything and enjoys playing with his trucks and golf clubs. On the other side I'm hoping he has hit full toddler mode with the sporatic tantrums, screaming, crying and occassional hitting. He also knows all about timeouts and is reluctantly learning how to share.

Jack is busy as well. Still not crawling, but he is rolling like a maniac. He's eating quite a bit and seems to enjoy most things. Also, he's working on finger foods and is getting pretty good at getting things into his mouth. His top two teeth have started coming in which brings his total to four. He is still quite easy going though in the last month he's begun showing signs of, to put it bluntly, being pissed off. Anytime something is taken away from him or you do something he doesn't quite like he starts screaming and crying like you've done something horrific. In a way I find it a bit funny, though I'm trying to be sensitive and understanding to his needs (that's the answer, right?). We are so blessed to have such healthy, darling and fun boys.

Happy New Year! May all you most important dreams and wishes come true!
