The Willis Family Does Disney!!!!!

A was thoroughly impressed with Cinderella's castle!!!
A and T with MiMi and PaPa at Animal Kingdom
A and T having a little "dance party" with C
Going into "It's a Bug's Life" 3-D show...only a really cool family can pull of this look!!! On another note, A's smile disappeared immediately after seeing the first big 3-D bug coming at her! She was not impressed with the show and spent most of it with her eyes closed and crying.

We met my parents in Florida and spent our Thanksgiving holiday at Disney World. We spent 4 days exploring the parks, and we had a blast! Our 5th day was spent at the ER with A...a case of strep throat stopped her fun, but overall the trip was great! We convinced our friends from Florida to come and spend a day at Magic Kingdom with us, so we got even more precious time with them and their little guy. My parents got some great bonding time with little R and the girls, and even though it didn't seem like Thanksgiving, it was great fun anyway!!

Our Florida Visit

R LOVES Aunt Becky already!!!! He saved some special smiles just for her!
A shared with C the "art of organization" (she firmly believes everything should be lined up in rows)
It seems to be a tradition that we must eat Mexican when we are together!!
Look at those happy faces!!!
On our way to Disney World, we stopped in to see our "Florida friends" for a very quick visit. We hadn't seen them and their little guy since February, and boy has he grown up!!! We were very excited to introduce our little guy to them, too. We had such a good time in the few hours we were there, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the little man that C is becoming. He is a special little guy, and so are his parents, and we miss them dearly!!!!!

Little R is 2 months old!!!

The big, handsome boy in the recliner. He spends a lot of time in it with big R.
Okay, he's done with this...he's ready for a bottle and bed! Isn't that face pitiful?

Our little R was 2 months old on November 8th. He has gotten so much bigger, and we are totally enjoying the little man he is turning into. He smiles all the time now, all it takes is a little eye contact with him, and the grins are there!! He coos occasionally, but he is still just not a very vocal baby. Even his cries are still pretty quiet and mellow. He has just discovered that his hands belong to him, and he can now get them to his mouth to suck on them. He laughed for me for the very first time today, and it was too cute! I haven't been able to get him to do it again for R and the girls, but we are working on it!! His hair has not fallen out at all...it just keeps getting longer. Of course, big R wants to take him to the barber, but I have convinced him not to. His hair is a show-stopper everywhere we go...people just have to come and get a closer look at the baby with all the hair!! He continues to be a happy boy most of the time, and we feel so blessed to have him as part of our family.

Smiles

First, they were only in his sleep...
Then came the awake smiles!!!!
And they keep on coming!!!
He's a happy boy!!!

R has just started sharing smiles with us in the last couple of weeks. He has even learned how to use them...when we are getting frustrated because he won't eat or go to sleep, he will turn on a big 'ol grin, and all we can do is smile right back...frustration gone!!

Halloween

Okay, all the good Moms already have their Halloween pictures on here, so it was making me look like a slacker, so I HAD to get mine on here!!! For some reason, my computer time has been severely limited lately...I won't mention that I am holding a baby in one hand and typing with the other right now...

As with every past Halloween, A was a princess this year! You can't see it in the pictures, but when it got dark we turned her dress on, and it glowed...changing into 7 different colors...very princessy!! The Hannah Montana craze has hit our home too, so there was no doubt who T wanted to be this year...Hannah Montana it was!! And little R was the cutest little Jack-O-Lantern I have ever seen, even if he wasn't too thrilled by the costume! He kept this serious look on his face the whole time, like he couldn't believe we had dressed him up in that costume.

The Pumpkin Patch

Looking for the perfect one...
"We found our favorites!"
The final product...all the Willis kids with Johnny the Scarecrow

Each year, we go to the pumpkin patch and the girls pick out pumpkins. We take them home to "Johnny", our scarecrow, and I get a picture of the kids with the pumpkins and "Johnny"! This year we had a new addition to the picture, so that was exciting!
