Life in Guntersville

So as we have mentioned before, we moved to Guntersville in the middle of May to be closer to family. We are loving it here! We see family almost every day. It's fun to get to watch Will getting to know these people better, and it's nice to have a break every now and again. Here are some pictures with descriptions of what we've been up to here:

Will absolutely loves to swing on Kalon's swing set at my mom's. He will stay in this as long as you will stand there and push him, really. We think this is a family trait or something, because Lauren, Stephen's sister, her kids will swing ALL day long if you let them.
We have made a few trips to the walking trail by the lake. Will enjoyed eating by such beautiful scenery.
On Father's Day, being Stephen's day, I gave in and went to the State Park and hiked with him. For any of you that know me know that I am NOT an outdoor person. But being his day, I obliged and went and never ONCE complained. I carried Will like this the whole way... for three miles!! It was quite the workout!
I love this picture of the two of them. We go to swim at Grams' sometimes. Will loves the water!
However, this is Will's real love of water... his baby pool we bought for him. He loves to crawl around and play with toys... and try to climb out of it.

We really are loving life in Guntersville. We will have to do another blog on our trip to the beach and Stephen's parents weekend here visiting.

A quick update on Will's checkup and stuff. He went to the doctor on June 23rd, and he's as healthy as we could hope for! He weighed 19 lbs, 3 oz, which put him in the 23%. He was 27 inches long, which put him in the 8%. Poor baby boy, he's going to be short like his mommy. At 9 months, Will have four teeth. He crawls like a pro. He walks behind toys and down the couch. He calls Stephen "Dada" and me "Nana". We can't seem to master the M sound. But I'll take Nana over nothing! :) He's such a sweet and happy baby. We're having so much fun at the age he is now!
