Willem's 1st Fourth of July



This was Willem's first 4th of July and we celebrated in true 4th of July style. Not only did we go swimming and take in the sun (Grandmas--don't call, we didn't take Willem out to sunbathe:), but we also took in the fireworks. Since Willem goes to bed around 8:00pm he fell asleep before the show started, but he did get some fresh air while we all enjoyed the view from Uncle Dan's patio.

Then after the professional show was done, Jason decided to try his skills at the Sparklers.

We noticed this weekend that Willem is really starting to pay attention to the camera. This is great because we're getting more pictures of him looking forward in the pictures. We just keep hoping the flash isn't bothering his eyes too much because some days Willem and I feel like we are living with the paparazzi (aka Jason/Daddy).

We aren't sure what our tradition will be for 4th of July in the future, but we do know we had a great start to our family celebrations.
