Head Wound Willa

Poor Willa. She got her first visit to the ER this weekend. We're not *sure* what happened, but somehow she was standing on the couch and "tumbled" as she says, hitting her head on the side table or something over there. She's got 4 staples in the back of her head, mercifully where they will always be hidden by her hair. As you can see, she took the whole thing pretty well. Other than a gnarly gash, she's fine, thank goodness, and loves to tell people she's got staples in her head.

Happy Birthday Willa!

Our little girl is 4 years old. I can't believe how big she's getting.



She is super sweet (except when she's not) and very affectionate. She loves stuffed animals and can always be found with one of her friends. She hasn't left the house without one since the time she was big enough to hold them in her hands. She has an incredible imagination and is happiest when she's surrounded by "friends," acting out an infinite number of scenarios.



She loves being with her family. She says Andrew is her best friend, loves to cuddle Christian, and when we are all together she is sure to look around, smile, and say, "We're the whole family." Her birthday wish when she blew out her candles was to have her whole family together.



She is also very stubborn. If she doesn't want to do something, then she's not going to do it, no matter what. Sometimes this translates to extreme contrary-ness (is that a word?). We believe if she channels it correctly, she'll be a force to be reckoned with. Already Andrew won't mess with her, because she always wins.



We love you sweet little Willa!
