Smart Cookie

Willa can now identify every letter of the alphabet, most colors, and can count from 1-7. The coolest part is that she is so eager to learn. She looks at me several times a day and says, "ABC's", meaning she wants me to write out the ABC's for her or read an ABC book or watch her ABC video. She also walks around pointing and to everything and telling us what color it is. 

It is so fun to watch her develop so quickly!

Lots of Willa Pics

Here are some photos of our last days in Charleston as well as some photos from home. I haven't posted in a while, so there are a lot of them! 

4th of July! Willa and Daddy a few minutes after daddy came home from the airport. We hadn't seen him in almost 3 weeks. She was very excited. :)

More Charleston Photos

Here are some more photos from our time in Charleston. Daddy gets home tomorrow, and we are so excited! Everytime I say, "Willa, Daddy is coming home"...She smiles, claps her hands and says "Yayyyyyy!". I can't wait to see her face when he walks in the door to Nana and Grumpy's house.

Willa loves Pawley. He is the most laid back dog in the world and will let her do anything to him.

Sleeping beauty :)

Aunt Tori drove in from Atlanta to visit. It was so much fun!

Fun with Cousins

On Saturday, we drove to Camden, S.C. to see Uncle Doug, Aunt Jill, cousin Darcy and her husband, Ed, and cousin Grace and her husband, David and their beautiful daughter, Riley.

Willa was very funny with Riley. She kept wanting to get in the pack-n-play with her and point out all of her body parts.

Yesterday, Willa had a great time playing with cousins, Katie and Alexis. They were so good with her.

Willa Loves the Beach

Willa, Eddie and I are in Charleston visiting Nana and Grumpy while daddy is working on a shoot in Mexico. So far, we've been to the beach every day. Willa absolutely loves it. She loves playing in the sand, she loves the waves, finding shells and throwing them back into the ocean, seeing the birds, and being in the ocean.

Lemonade

Today we went to a lemonade stand that some neighborhood kids were having a few houses down, and Willa made her first transaction. Lemonade is Willa's favorite thing to drink!

Here are a few recent photos from Daddy's IPhone...

Sharing a smoothie with Daddy in the morning has become an almost daily ritual. Willa calls them "Hoomies". She always ends up with a smoothie mustache.
