William has learned how to sign "love"! It is adorable! I don't have a picture to share, but I will post one soon. I've been signing "love" when I say "I love you, William", and he suddenly started imitating the sign. When he hears the word "love" he will sign it.
Love is crossing your arms over your chest/front like an X. It's like giving yourself a hug.

Pray for Grandpa Burge
Please pray for Grandpa (Olly's grandpa) in England (actually Wales) who is sick right now. He is a lovely man. I really think Olly's grandparents, Nana and Grandpa, are two of the neatest people I've ever met. I only wish that the distance wasn't so great so we could spend more time with them.
If I could've I would've put them in my suitcase and brought them home with me when we visited over last Christmas!
Here's a little story to tell you how wonderful they are...when we were in England last Christmas William was 10 months old. He was a little apprehensive around new people, because we had traveled 4,000 miles and went 6 hours ahead (that's a lot for a baby). The day that William met Nana and Grandpa was at Olly's mum (the English spelling for mom) and dad's house for a family get together. I set William on Nana's lap, and he just sat there with her and looked at her like he was studying her. He didn't move a bit and didn't cry. This also happened when we saw them a few days later. He was perfectly content on her lap. It was the same way with Grandpa. He went right to Grandpa and was perfectly content with him. Grandpa brought him over to the Christmas tree and they looked at the lights. I think William already knew just how wonderful they truly are.

Summer Photos...
William loves to brush his teeth!
William spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house. This is how he looked after his bath...unsure?
William with the little girl Cousin Sarah babysits, Casey. Aren't they so cute?!?!
William and Grandma at Aunt Maureen's pool.
William and Grandpa-His favorite person (and vice versa)
William and Uncle Kevin on the Seadoo.
William in his Ergo baby carrier. I bought this for going up the north shore when Olly's parents were here. I love it!
William's butt!
He loves to "drive"! He gets mad when I put him in his carseat, but I just remind him that he can drive in about 15 years!
My mom took this picture...I love the look on his face!
My poor ignored blog! I still don't have a computer at home (yeah, get with it, Alicia!), so my computer time is limited. Soon hopefully now that school is soon to start.
William has had a good summer. He has kept me REALLY busy! He loves to swim! He doesn't even care if he goes under water! I quickly pick him up, he gives a little cough, and then he has a big smile on his face! Our local pool is a zero degrees pool, so we enjoy going there-NO SAND! We've been to a local man made lake too. It's fun there too, but then I find sand everywhere for the next week.
We've been to the zoo a couple times too. He was more interested in the little carnival next to the zoo!
William is talking a LITTLE bit. He says duck (I think?), car (I think?), mama, dada, and we'll say, "What does Scooter say?" (My parents' dog) and he said, "Ruff".
We've also been teaching him sign language to help communicate. It's really neat! He loves that he can tell us what he wants and we understand him. The light bulb has gone off! Now, if he would start talking too!
He signs:
more
drink
eat
outside (so cute!)
all done (we had to teach him this after one too many times of throwing his plate on the floor)
bird (so cute!)
dog
sleep
please
sorry (after he throws something at someone...grrr...)
