A Family Christmas Wedding

My sister, Lindsay, and I. She is 24 weeks pregnant and made me promise not to put any pictures of her on the blog. Sorry Lin, I thought this one was cute. :)

This past weekend, my cousin Katie got married. We partied all Friday and Saturday and basically just had a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures from our eventful weekend:

Us at the rehearsal dinner. Doesn't Mike look snazzy in his coat and tie?
Jake in his tux. He was sooooo cute!
All five cousins.
Will and I doing the cha-cha slide. I have a little dancer on my hands.
Four of the cousins with our TN Tech husbands. All four girls played ball at Tech and we all met our husbands there as well.
Having fun on the dance floor.
Yet another family picture.
And my favorite...
Will with a soulpatch. We found a vending machine at lunch on Saturday that gave "master disguises". We were hoping for a moustache, but thought it was hilarious when we got a soulpatch. Like father, like son!

Exciting news!

Yesterday we went to the doctor to confirm what we pretty well knew. Yep...we are expecting our second child! I am 6 weeks pregnant! It was a little earlier than we had planned, but that's ok. We are extremely excited and feel so blessed that God would give us this gift. Baby #2 will be due sometime around August 1, 2010, just a few weeks shy of Will's 2nd birthday.

Christmas Fessler Style

Will "helping" me wrap presents. Don't ask me why he has to stand on every present!
Christmas is already here...so hard to believe! So, we at the Fessler house have been trying to get in the Christmas spirit. We have watched Christmas movies on ABC Family, decorated the house, made homemade Chex Mix, baked Christmas goodies and even put Will in Christmas pajamas. Last night I even wrapped presents. It all sounds warm and fuzzy, but then add in a 15 month old and things get interesting. We find decorations from the tree all over the downstairs and let's just say wrapping presents can be an adventure. Will has even figured out how to work the radio that we use to listen to Christmas carols. So now we hear part of a song and part static because he is constantly changing the station. Oh goodness, its funny, but tiring at the same time. But I realize I only get to have Will this small once. So I'm doing my best to enjoy every minute, no matter how frustrating it may be!

Recent Will Randomness

Will and Jake! These two love each other and play well together. But they also spell double trouble when they get together!

So...it has been awhile since I have posted about Will. He is changing a lot right now. I feel like I have to soak in every minute I can, because before I know it he is on to something new and different. Here are some of his new things:
1. He is very good at saying "yeah" and can sometimes say "no". We have fun with this by asking all sorts of crazy yes or no questions just to see what he will say.
2. Not only is he saying yeah or no, but he will sometimes say yeah and shake his head no or vice-versa. A little confusing, to say the least.
3. His favorite phrase is "Oh wow!". We have no idea where this came from, but one day he said it and it stuck. He has other phrases that sound like korean at times, but sometimes if you listen right, sounds like he actually said something in english. He really suprises us sometimes!
4. Will loves belly buttons right now. He likes walking around with his shirt up wanting you to poke his belly button. He also likes to lift my shirt to find my belly button. Luckily he hasn't done this in public, yet.
5. He loves pointing to facial features. He is not yet recognizing ears when you say ears, but at least he knows that these things on his head are important.
6. He is learning to open doors. SCARY!!!
7. Flushing toilets is so much fun for Will right now...not so much for our water bill.
8. Christmas trees...he loves Christmas trees. Needless to say, ours has only non-breakable ornaments on the bottom.

Oh my, how this child has stolen my heart. I love him dearly! Here are some new and recent pictures of my little man.
Will loves this car! I have to find one for him!
Sitting in little rocker at Marmie and Poppy's house. A toy black cat usually sits in this rocker, but when Will is there he throws it out!
Will and his lawnmower.
Will loves the computer and he will use whoever to be able to get on it. Here he is with Kristin, Andrew's girlfriend. Will adores her!
