William is TWO!
William, oh where do I begin with you! So much has changed from my last post! You and your new baby sister are growing and changing so much, right before our eyes! You are so much fun and are such a funny little man! You have a silly side that's for sure! You know how to navigate YouTube on the Internet and have figured out how to click on different links/kid videos well before your 2nd birthday! Such a clever little guy. You're really good at watching us do things and imitating them. You've even started to imitate Maddie when she cries. It's so funny! You have learned tons more new words and are starting to be able to string words together. You spilled some of your sippy cup on your shirt yesterday while we were at the park and you said "All Wet". Sooo cute. You're a toddler now so you have mini-meltdowns when things don't go your way or if we say no to something but they never last long, you're pretty good at calming yourself down. You understand things very well for a toddler and love to count! Sometimes you'll walk around saying "Three, Four, Five Eight, Nine, TEN!!! haha, it's really cute! People can't believe you know these numbers already at such a young age! You hate having your hair cut but you tolerate it (which is great because you have Daddy's hair which grows like a weed!! It's beautiful and thick!) Everyone comments on how gorgeous your eyes are! Your eyelashes are ridiculous! They're so full and thick it looks like they are either fur or feathers!! :o). Your two favorite books are "Goodnight Moon" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" You know both of them almost by heart and help me finish some of the sentences, even if you're not looking at the book! You're a very bright child and I'm not just saying that because I'm your Mommy!! :o) You have a very strong will and know what you like and do not like! You love being outdoors and drag me me and Daddy by the hand to go out side! You like your little playground on our front porch and like going to the playground at the park. Also you like running around Chuck E. Cheese and go straight to all of the driving games with the steering wheels! You've recently figured out how open up and call people on Skype. I found this out one day while I was feeding Maddie on the couch. I heard the Skype ring and ran over to see who you were calling and what was going on! I am amazed at how well you are able to use the computer and navigate around the video links to find just the ones you're looking for! You're starting to get affectionate towards your baby sister. You love to play with her feet and knees and give her pats on the head! I can't wait till Maddie is old enough to play and hang out with you! You guys are going to be little buddies I just know it! You two make Mommy and Daddy very happy and we're very lucky you are both in our lives! We Love You!!
Oh Maddie!!!
Oh Maddie!!!
You're finally here!! Mommy and Daddy are so happy! You are a sweet beautiful little babydoll of a baby girl! We Love you sooo much! You were born on the first day of Spring 2010!! You are named after your Great Grandmother Lucy on your Daddy's side and we really loved the name Madeleine and it suits you well! We had your name chosen very early on. It was going to be William's name if he was a girl, but he turned out to be a William instead (named after your Great Grandfather on Daddy's Side!) I was in labor with you for 11 hours and you only took 12 minutes or less to arrive! You look like a little baby girl version of William but with more feminine features and a distinctively different personality all of your very own! Mommy and Daddy really did get lucky with two very easy babies, you were both very content and laid back. The only time you cry is when you're hungry or when you need to have your diaper changed. It isn't even a cry really though, it's just a huffy warning that we had better act quickly or it's going to be upgraded to a impatient huff! Legs and arms flapping around as well. You're sooo cute! You've just started smiling at the sound of our voices, very very cute! You have about a million little outfits which were given to me from friends and work colleagues (one of which has 3 baby girls, she gave me about 20 outfits for you, some of which still had tags on them). In addition to this, so many family members bought us sweet little baby girl outfits. Really girly. Afterall, you are the first baby girl in our family in nearly 25 years. Your cousin (Godmother) Serena in Italy was the last baby girl in our family until you! Since then there have been 9 baby boys (Metello (Will's Godfather), Nicholas, Jake, Alex, Justin, Isaac, Ian, Roman and William.)!! Big Brother Will was a little rough around you at first, which is normal considering he's only just turned 2!! Now that you're two months old and he's learning how to behave around you he's very sweet with you. He loves your feet and itty bitty toes! We all give you a kiss each night before you go to bed! You're a great sleeper (thank you!! :o))! and you love your new swing. Your favorite toys at the moment are the little light up fish tank on your crib and your animal safari mobile. As soon as I put you in your crib (if you're not sleeping) you look up at it and wait for it to move. It plays music and moves around when I wind it up. When it stops you get cranky until I wind it up again! You are great at tummy time and have been holding your head up strong since day one! You get a little fussy about about 3 minutes then we have to pick you up because you tell us you're done! :o) You are very expressive and crack us up with the faces you make! You're a little red head, your hair is auburn like Mommy's which is great because i'll be able to give you hair tips since I've spent almost 35 years with the same hair type! Yours will probably be wavy and wild like Mommy's so I'll help you figure out what to do with it!! :o) Here's an email Daddy just sent me about you and your brother. It's too cute not to post it! Hopefully you and your brother will read this one day! Like a little diary!

We had a double diaper change today, and while Will and Maddie were lying next to each other, Will reached out and held hands with Maddie. It was SO sweet. Then he 'did nice' on her head and I just about melted, he's much gentler now. By the time I changed the diapers and grabbed the camera he was up and about.

Mommy and Daddy's smart little cookie!!
I feel like Daddy and I were just saying how amazing it was that you're turning into such a little toddler and here you are at 22 months and we can already see you turning into a little boy! Just a few quick things I'd like to add while they're fresh in my mind! Our little 22 month old knows most of his colors and likes to call them out! Also for many months has knows practically the entire alphabet of letters and can name most of them individually. Loves to count to 10 on Mommy and Daddy's hands and sometimes your own hands. Very cute. Each night at bedtime ("night nights") around 9pm, you will give Daddy a kiss and say "night Da" and go with me to brush your teeth, you do such a great job brushing your teeth and even your tongue! :o) You just love it and it's a great little routine before bedtime. I hold you up to the bathroom mirror and we laugh and joke about how much fun it is to brush your teeth! After you brush your teeth, you'll drink some water from the little paper cups and then head off to shut off all of the lights in the bedroom. Last night however, Mommy had to turn on two of the lamps so that I could see in the laundry basket because I had to change your shirt. You weren't happy with the lights being turned on after you had turned them off and said "OH NO... OH NO" and shut both of them back off! It was really adorable!!! Other new things you do are say "All Done/All Gone" and wave your hands when you're finished with something (usually food) or when you see Mommy's cereal bowl is empty. I Love You Baby Boy!!! Only 4 more weeks and your baby sister will be here!! You're going to be such a great big brother!

Will you marry me...
Daddy Proposed to Mommy on Waterloo Bridge in London, England - UK. Daddy knelt down and proposed in the spot where they had their very first kiss about 7 months prior. It was a beautiful evening. Tom planned the evening to go in reverse of our first date. He took me to the OXO Towers restaurant for dinner and afterwards we walked across Waterloo bridge where he proposed. We then went to Henry's Bar and Grille in Covent Garden which is where we had our very first date! Such a beautiful and magical night!
Big Boy!!
Aww, our sweet little baby boy is growing up so much! We love you soooo much! You're saying lots of words, know the names of most of your body parts. You're great at brushing your teeth and do so every night just before bed! You're going to be a big brother in a few months and I just can't believe it! You love watching Mommy cook and are very inquisitive. You're very good with learning your letters and know about half of the alphabet if not more. Yesterday you went through one of Daddy's books and picked out all of the letters you knew, it was very very cute! Aunt Megan said you're a very advanced little boy!
Your current favorite shows are:
Super Why
Thomas the Tank Engine
Barney and Friends
Little People (DVD) - Eddie's big race. You love this one so much that you ran the first copy we had into the ground so we had to get a second copy! :o)
Ever since you were very young, you've loved to kick your soccer ball around, you now have about 4 or 5 soccer balls and Mommy and Daddy can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can take you and your new baby sister outside lots and lots, to the park, out front... to kick the ball around, take walks as a family etc. We just got a great new double stroller which you love to push around the house and will fit you and Maddie just fine when we go out to the park, beach wherever. You love anything with wheels and just love your collection of cars, trucks & busses! You say vroom vroom and usually like to push one in each hand together at the same time! What a sweet boy, you give Daddy a hug and a kiss before bed and give Mommy lots of kisses when you get really sleepy and are about to fall asleep! Mommy lets you watch a little bit of Thomas the Tank Engine on the bed before you go to sleep and you still love your musical 'fishy tank' with the monkey, frog & fish which hangs on the bed. You're such a good boy and a very sweet and smart and clever little toddler. Another one of your fav's is coloring with your crayons. You'll pull out the chair and will climb up to the desk and color to coloring pages which Mommy and Daddy have taped to the desk for you. You really get into it and use all of the colors until your satisified with how the picture looks before climbing down again! Another couple of thing you really like are playing with your refrigerator magnets with the alphabet, which say the name of the letter and the sounds each one makes AND reading is another fav of yours. You'll sometimes stroll off to your room and get quiet, when Mommy and Daddy peek in to see what you're up to you're usually immersed in a book, studying all of the pictures, shapes and letters. It's very very adorable! We Love You baby bear!
