Will's first ice cream cone

On July 26th we took the boys to a really neat park called Fossil Park. They have really big slides for Joshua to go on and a bunch of toys that go round and round. Will loved playing on the smaller slides. While we were there Joshua found this bowl that goes round and round really fast. He went on this for quite awhile, Michael kept stopping him to make sure he was feeling fine. Joshua's answer was always yes and they kept spinning around. After that he went on a merry go round type of thing and loved that.

While I was getting Will in the car to go home I saw Joshua laying his head down on Michael's lap, he didn't look good. He kept complaining that his head hurt, so we gave him a plastic bag to hold in the car just in case he needed to use it. About a block away from the park he started throwing up in the bag. We felt so sorry for him, he was very upset. We stopped the car got him cleaned up, fortunately he used the bag, and gave him a new bag just in case. Michael asked him if ice cream would make him feel better, of course Joshua said yes.

So we went to Dairy Queen. I have been craving a chocolate dipped cone from there for quite awhile now so that is why Michael thought of Dairy Queen. I got a cone for Joshua, Michael and I, and was wanting to get a cookie for Will but they didn't have any. Will was not happy that he didn't get one too so he was throwing a fit. He was very upset and angry the first part of the way home then about a mile away he was so sad, he was sobbing. I had eaten a good portion of my ice cream cone so I gave him the rest of mine. His tears instantly dried up and he was so happy. He would eat the ice cream cone by putting it in his mouth until his lips touched it then he would take the cone out and lick his lips. He was very cute about it all. When we got home we let him enjoy the rest of his cone on the ground outside so he wouldn't make a mess in the house.

Look out here comes Will!

Will is now able to climb the stairs and has been able to for about a week. He also pulls himself to standing quite a bit now but still has the wobbly legs so it will be some time before he starts walking the furniture. He does get up on his knees a lot now so he can get to the things he wants to touch and play with. He loves crawling up the stars and is so proud of himself when he starts to go up them. When I go to grab him he giggles like he got away with something. One other first... Yesterday he finally understood what please means and can now say it in sign language if you ask him to, I love it!!
