A weekend away

We had a fun weekend in California.  We went to my grandma's house to make tamales and visit with family and it was SOOOO fun!  It was Will's first time meeting his Gran-nanny and he just loved her right away.  It was so fun to see him just smile and laugh with her everytime that the two got together.
We made a lot of tamales and then went to Tehachapi for church the following day before going to Bakersfield to visit at Gran and Grandpa's house.  It was fun to see them play with her.  While we were there, Ernie's aunt, Joyce was there and Will fell right in love with her too.  It must be something about the older people because Will just loves to be around them.
We came home on Tuesday night and it sure was nice to be back home and in our own beds.  Will slept until 4 which was a lot better than while we were gone and he was up every 2 hours.  Last night was nice again too.  We are happy to be home and back into the routine that we had before.  One new thing that is going on, is that Will is trying to sit up on his own.  This morning I sat him on the couch with a pillow under his head.  He tried leaning forward and when I held his hands, he sat up and was able to support himself without help from mommy.  He has his 4 month Dr. appt and we are not looking forward to the shots, but it will be nice to see how much the little guy is growing!

Hey! You have a cute little boy! I'll bet he takes after his grandparents, huh? It was so much fun having you guys visit. Will is such a happy little boy and we just loved having him around. He's growing up so fast! It won't be long before he does the guerilla crawl and starts getting into things. Love and enjoy him everyday! Love you!!!

Already trying to sit up. That's great! But sad too, because it means he's getting bigger. He's got a thing for the older ladies. That's so sweet. I liked seeing th pic of your grandmother from Tamale day. She looks good. I hope she's doing well.
