Foerschler Fables: 2015

Let's just forget about trying to catch everyone up on the Foerschlers...It's been entirely too long since I blogged. So currently, this is what the Foerschlers are up to:

Last week our family experienced nearly every emotion possible. At least it felt like it. Here is the rundown of recent events:

Last Monday: Jonny had his first day at Valley Center Chiropractic-excited/nervous
Tuesday: Jonny's grandpa William Timothy passed away-sadness
Wednesday: I went to go visit my grandmother, as we knew her days were few-sadness
Thursday: My grandma passed away-sadness
Friday: Jonny's grandpa's visitation/rosary-mourning/grief
Saturday: William Timothy's (grandpa) funeral and burial
William Timothy's 1st birthday

The William Timothys (at Christmas)

Sunday: Jonny and I sang How Sweet the Sound at church-very healing and moving for us
Will's birthday party in the afternoon
Monday: my grandma's funeral service

Although we had 2 funerals and a first birthday over the weekend, we truly felt like our weekend was about celebrating LIFE. Both of our grandparents really LIVED life and we pray that our William lives and loves like they did.

And so far in 1 year of life our little Will has brought so much happiness and joy to our family. He is just so happy most of the time and has really started to develop quite the ornery personality.

At 12 months Will LOVES:

his big brother-he wants to be wherever Wes is and he loves it when he chases him or "wrestles" with him
his pacifiers
FOOD-we have yet to give him a food he won't eat
playing peek-a-boo and being chased
remotes, or anything he shouldn't be playing with
blankets-snuggles and loves his blanket up by his face when he sleeps; it's the cutest
baths

Will is not a fan of:

getting his diaper changed
when mommy/daddy/babysitter walks out of the room
lactose-discovered around 6 months that he gets very sick when he has any lactose (formula, yogurt)
when you take away a "toy"-cries as if you just crushed his soul

Developmentally, Will is:

taking a few steps, but not yet walking
crawls super fast, stands independently (clapping for himself)
babbles with lots of different syllables-most recent is "gagagaga"
eating a mix of baby food and table food, but starting to phase out the baby food
has 4 bottles a day (soy formula)
sleeps 11 hours at night (waking a few times when he loses his paci)
signs "more"
wears 12-18 month clothes
weighs around 21 pounds
has the cutest rolls
