He loves his baby. He doesn't play with it everyday, but when he finds it, he is very excited.
Will has also become very good at giving kisses recently.
Here is a quick video of both.

A Boy and His Baby
We recently bought Will a baby doll. Yes, it is pink. It was very hard to find a boy baby doll that I liked. So, it is pink, and I'm fine with it.
He loves his baby. He doesn't play with it everyday, but when he finds it, he is very excited.
Will has also become very good at giving kisses recently.

Mother's/Father's Day
We started a new tradition this Mother's Day - a Mom and Will date! The idea came to me because Daniel is working a strange work shift right now and works from noon to 8:30PM. This rules out Friday night for going out. I decided that Will and I should just go out on a date ourselves (because it was Mother's Day weekend after all).
We started by checking out a new park for a "romantic walk on the beach." We really are lucky to have so many beautiful places here in Washington. This was only about 15 minutes from our house, but I had no idea it was there.
Then, we "went out to dinner." We went to Dick's Drive-In and had a lot of fun eating in the car together (my car did not love it quite as much). Will liked it so much that we had to go buy a third burger (and an ice cream sundae to go with it).
It was so much fun to spend some quality time with the darling boy who made me a mother. I plan on doing it every year.
Father's Day, sadly, was not quite as well planned. Will and I got back from California the night before Father's Day. While we did send him some movie and video game gift cards while we were gone, we were wiped out on Sunday. We really do love and appreciate him, though! Daniel shopped for the ingredients and cooked his own Father's Day dinner. It was delicious. He tried a new way of cooking the steak and it turned out fantastic!
We didn't even take any pictures of the father and son that day, but here are some recent ones.
Those boys love playing together! Here is a recent video, too.
We love being this crazy boy's parents!

Toothbrushes, Dusting, and Shoes
Will has some funny obsessions lately.
1) Toothbrushes
This cute kid LOVES toothbrushes. Not his own toothbrushes, but the big ones. He rifles through our bathroom drawers every chance he gets. As soon as he gets one, it goes straight into his mouth and stays there. He can mimic putting toothpaste on the brush perfectly. Only one brush is pictured here, but I have gone through several brushes recently.
2) Dusting
Will is an awesome helper when it comes to dusting. He will throw quite the tantrum if he is not given the duster immediately. He likes to dust the same area about a hundred times. He actually does a pretty good job.
3) Shoes
Will really likes shoes. He doesn't need to be fully dressed to want his shoes on. Sometimes he even wants shoes on over his footie pajamas. Right now, he makes a sound that means shoes, but I wouldn't be surprised if that ended up being one of his first words.
It is so entertaining to see the funny things he likes.

Northwest Folklife Festival (and other happenings)
We had a great Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't warm, but it was fun.
On Friday, Daniel was able to come home early and we took a picnic to the park. We stopped to pick up food at our brand new Panera Bread that has a DRIVE THRU (which is so awesome!!).
Saturday, we went into Seattle for the Northwest Folklife Festival. It was so much fun!! Will absolutely loves music, so he had the time of his life. We put him on his monkey leash, and let him guide us to wherever he wanted to go. He was fascinated by all of the different musical groups and street performers. He did lots of dancing! Of course, we also ate tons of yummy food.
On Monday, we went out to lunch and let Will explore the mall. Then, we went to dinner with some friends and then went swimming. Sadly, Will was not a fan of the swimming for some reason. He mostly just sat calmly with Daniel in the hot tub.
It was a nice long weekend to spend together. We wish every weekend was that long!

Our Return to Utah
In April, we had a friend get married. The wedding was in Utah (yay!) so we got a chance to visit many of the friends we had recently left behind.
We flew in on a Saturday (Will was not-so-good at the airport) and went straight to Brooke's birthday party. It was very fun, but Will had missed both naps during our day of travel, so he didn't last all that long. He certainly enjoyed the balloons, though.
We then went to Jessica and Dave's house (where we were sleeping that night) and met this little cutie, Dawson! The boys enjoyed each other, but I think the next time will be even more fun.
On Sunday, we were able to attend our old ward and catch up with friends there. We then met up with the soon-to-be-married couple at BYU. We had a lot of fun exploring campus first. It was a warm day - we even had to put on sunblock (which is very rare in Seattle)!
On Monday, we spent the day hanging out with Jessica and Dawson. We introduced the Gregorys to the ridiculous show "Yo Gabba Gabba." The boys had some time together (including a quick head cuddle). We also tried to get the babies to cooperate for some picture taking.
Then we went to Kalisha and David's house for dinner. (How did we not get any pictures Kalisha!?)
On Tuesday, we went to visit my school. I visited with some of the teachers/staff and even caught a glimpse of some of my cute former students. It was so fun to be back there for a little while.
Then, we were able to attend the wedding and reception for Trevin and Kim. Will was a crazy man at the reception, so we only stayed 30 minutes.
We stayed a few nights with the Pattees. It was so fun to be back in their beautiful home where we house sat for 18 months. It was also Will's first home (for the first 2 weeks of his life).
Wednesday, we played with my favorite little girls ever (and their awesome mom)! When Will was a week old, we took pictures with these girls in matching hats. Will was not as cooperative this time around. We also had some great adventures at the Dinosaur Museum.
We stopped and had some frozen yogurt with Janet, one of my mom's good friends. She got some seriously good cuddles from Will (which hardly ever happens).
Our last few days were spent up in Bountiful with Daniel's grandparents. Daniel's mom came into town too. We checked out the new mall and explored Temple Square.
At the airport, Will begged to get into his car seat, and then slept the entire flight back to Seattle.
It was a dream (and very unlike the screaming airport experience a week earlier). We had such a great time in Utah and we miss everyone there already.
