WILLIAM IS ONE!!!!

I had a great party with Mommy and Daddy at our house. I enjoyed a morning of doughnuts (from my friends Kate and John), lots of playing and then a great party with presents, cake and lasagna (my favorite).

Thanksgiving 2009

We were in Atlanta for the beginning of the week and then traveled down to Lake Blackshear to see all the Harden clan. It was a ton of fun - William especially enjoyed playing with all of his older cousins - he was walking everywhere after that!

we visited the lincoln park zoo yesterday

BIG DAY

William walked!! Well, he CAN walk, but still prefers to crawl... shouldn't be too much longer before he is cruisin'!!! yikes...

happy halloween!

Our trip to Wagner Farm on Tuesday

Mom, Dad and I braved a chilly day in Evanston to visit Wagner Farm - a real farm nearby with cows, horses, pigs, roosters, chickens and a learning center.

Dad and I learned how to milk the cow in the learning center!?

An "old-timey" (as Dad would say) grocery store in the learning center.

Those pigs were SMELLLLYY!

The rooster and chicken coop was by far my favorite! We went back a couple times to check on them.
