8 Months

William is officially 8 months old! He is now crawling and can stand up if he is holding onto furniture. My little boy is growing up so fast. He is also babbling more and eating more solid foods. No sign of teeth yet. I also feel recovered. I am able to stand and walk for normal periods of time.

Easter 2025

William celebated his first Easter on Sunday! On Saturday, we took him to get a picture with the Easter Bunny at Cabela's. On Sunday, we went to church and had an Easter party with my mom and the Turleys. William had his first Easter dinner in a high chair. We also did an Easter egg hunt for the boys in the front yard. Peter and William even grabbed some eggs.

Caribbean Cruise 2025

Wesley and I got back from our eastern Caribbean cruise with his family on Sunday. It was so fun. William stayed home with my parents, so we missed him so much. I also got sick with both a cold and stomach bug. We still had a great time. We sailed on the Norwegian Escape out of Miami. Sat, April 5: We flew into Miami early after an overnight flight from SalT Lake. That day we went to the Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and the Miami Hell's Kitchen. We mostly saw birds and alligators. Sunday, April 6: We boarded the ship and played some mini golf and hung out in the water grotto. We also did lots of trivia and game shows on the ship. Monday, April 7: It was a sea day. We did more trivia, I attempted the ropes course, and we saw Choir of Man. Tuesday, April 8: We went to Ocean World in Dominican Republic. We did a sea lion and lovebird encounter. We also went to their beach and and the dolphin and shark shows. Wed, April 9: We walked around Tortula in the British Virgin Islands and did the ship's thermal suite. Thurs, April 10: I was sick with the stomach bug but we still went to the Trunk Bay beach on St. John's in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We also saw the Adele tribute show on the ship. Friday, April 11: I got sick with the cold but still did some trivia. Saturday, April 12: The port to the Bahamas was cancelled due to high winds so our ziplining excursion was cancelled. I did some trivia and hung out in the room because I wasn't feeling well. Sun, April 13: We returned to Miami. We saw the Ft. Lauderdale Temple, Flamingo Gardens, Wesley's childhood home, and visited his family who live in Florida before our flight back to Salt Lake.
