It happened...

You know those things that you hope your child never does? Those things you hear other mothers tell you that just make you cringe? Well, one of those happened this morning. I was lying on the floor in William's room while he played with some toys nearby. He gets up before 6 every day, so I try to feed him some food and then take a little nap while he plays until it is a more reasonable hour (like 6:30 :) ). Anyway, in my half-asleep state I hear him start spitting. He has started to spit when he doesn't like something or when I tell him something is yucky. So, I get up and go try to figure out what he is spitting out. No, it wasn't dirt. He has eaten that many times already (including twice yesterday). It had this orange-brown color to it and it didn't take me long to figure out what it was once I smelled it. He had somehow gotten some of his poop from the back of his diaper that he had just filled to overflowing. I said loudly "Oh no!" and that brought Jason from the other room to help clean up the little stinker. We changed the diaper, gave him a bath and got him back to our nice-smelling little boy, but I still just cringe when I think about it. I don't know if I'll feel okay sharing a spoon with him for the next little while. Good thing it was yesterday that he used my toothbrush and not later today!

Christmas-Lots of Pictures to catch up

Sorry for the overload of pictures, but I figured this was the easiest way to do a quick update. 

11 months old!





Christmas Eve!
We got to spend Christmas and New Year's in California with Jason's family. It was lots of fun!

Despite having never opened a present before,
William seemed to know exactly what to do.




Cousins! These boys are just 3 weeks apart.



Best present ever!

Christmas Day!
Cousins waiting on the stairs to go down and see their presents
I have to open more presents?
Enjoying the warm California Christmas

I got to talk to my sister Rebekah who was actually about 45 minutes away from where we were.

William's 1st Birthday!
Poor kid was sick, so he felt pretty miserable all day.

Trying to enjoy the beach, but still feeling sick


I think he just wanted to sleep

Attempt at a family picture. William wasn't happy about stopping.

Happy Birthday song!
He did feel a little better that night after a long afternoon nap

New Year's!
We got to see some of the floats for the Rose Parade

I think this is a funny picture. William was trying to climb up me to look at the float behind us.
