New Little Babies and Goat Cheese

We sure are getting a lot bigger lately. We just passed the 16 month marker and have finally grown out of our 12 month clothes. We have learned several baby signs and have started to articulate words a little more clearly. Communication is coming along quite nicely. But even though we are getting big fast, we still have a baby moments when it's milk time. In fact staying healthy, growing big, following rules, and learning everyday, keeps us quite busy, but it just seemed like there wasn't enough to do. Well needless to say, there has been some baby talk aroung the Williamson house lately. It seems like everyone else is making a new addtion to there family within the next year. So we decided that circumstances were working out quite nicely for us and it was time to grow our family a little bit more. So here is the first look at our newest addition!






















His name is Kasarli (pronounced Ku-shar-lee), which is Turkish for "goat cheese." We've always wanted an orange kitty and wanted to name it a word from our oversees trips. We came up with Kasarli a long time ago and liked it. So things are still changing quite a bit around here, but now we have a new baby too. He's so cute.

Generations

A short trip to Topeka to celebrate 50 years of barbering by Grandpa Williamson. Pictured here are four generations of Williamson family. It was quite the exciting time. We really like the cake and the baloons. In fact, we got to bring the baloons home and now we walk around the house with them. It was a good time to see family and share in the celebration.

Good Bye...COUCH

Today it is time to say goodbye to this lovely beast. It has been in our family for...hmmm I dunno...too long. Mom first purchased it sometime when I was in highschool then it moved with Resa and Eric to Tennessee and when they moved to Kansas I inherited it for my apartment. From there it came with me when I married Brad and moved to our home here on Parkwood Lane. Within the next week it, along with its now fashionable slip-cover, will be moving to a house with 3 single girls. It has served us well for many afternoon naps, a cozy spot to watch movies, lots of conversation with good friends, and its most recent use as a toddler jungle gym(well it may have been that when it was brand new too) Like I said it has been around too long. GOODBYE COUCH!

Little Things...

I learned how to play house today. Mommy put my baby doll to sleep in this box and I decided to get in instead. Boxes are so much fun!

Dolly came inside with me and I read her the tooth book by dr. seuss.

This is the first time I got to play in the water at the kitchen sink! I had so much fun I didn't move for 30 minutes! Thanks Mom!

I love watching daddy work outside!

7 months Old

A Day of Faces

Merry Christmas...in February??

Here I am playing in all the WONDERFUL paper!! well, I guess I am paused for a moment while Stella checks to see if I have any teeth yet...hmmm NOPE.



Here are my cousins Naomi and Elena thoroughly enjoying the late-night gift mania!




Here is everyone who came to the 3rd annual "Bowling Extravaganza" It was lots of fun. The smiles are very large in this picture because daddy had turned the camera timer on and then ran to get into the picture. ...while running he decided to jump over a full size chair and wound up tripping and flying(yes flying) flat on his face much to the suprise amusement of everyone in the pic...somehow he still scrambled to make it into the photo though. Most of us are still laughing at his "athletic display."

You're still my hero Daddy!
