The Eidsons: May 2009

Well, Mr. William (as we like to call him) just turned 8 months old. It is blowing my mind that I need to start thinking about his 1st birthday! He has changed so much in the past few weeks...he started crawling early april and then got really good at it around the 17th. He loves to go "exploring" with his daddy. Lee will say...come on William...lets go exploring and then they crawl together all over the house. He gets really excited and starts laughing...William, that is. Its hilarious. And he also started pulling up about a week after that, so of course he's getting into everything and gone are the days I can put him in one spot on the floor and let him play for a few minutes.

He also, poor thing, had his first ear infection. Although i never would have known anything was wrong with him until he started running a fever. He was a trooper. Hopefully he won't have too many more. But we did find out he weighed 22lbs. 8 oz at 7 months.

We had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend in Edna. My dad and brothers and Robert Clay of course were working cattle so William got to go check out the cows for the first time. He stared for about 5 minutes and then he started having a conversation with them. He also "swam" in his little baby pool for the first time. He loved it so much we tried it the next day with Hudson. I got a coupon book from William for a free foot rub, car wash and kitchen cleaning...I'm not sure if that was Lee's genius way of making me wait about 10 years until I can redeem them..hmmm. I also got a pottery barn gift card and some super mushy emotional cards from my brothers. They said things like you stink...you're a dorky mom...etc.

All in all it was a good weekend...sorry for the long wait on updates..things are getting crazy around here! How on earth does anyone with multiple children get anything done....you are my heroes.

Here are some pics from the past few weeks!
