What's Up?
Hi, all!
Will had his 15 month check-up yesterday and we were told, once again, that he is a healthy boy. He weighed 24.8 pounds (50-75th percentile) and was 32 1/4 inches long (75-90th percentile). We're very blessed to have such a healthy, happy boy. He did ALL of his tricks at the doctor's office (including climbing to almost standing position on the table in the waiting room...much to the horror of the other waiters). He talked, he walked, and he was such a pro while getting his shots.
Here is just a small glimpse into our lives this week:
1. We got a new James Taylor DVD, Squibnocket, and it is great! You can tell who the biggest James fan is at our house.
2. Uncle Jared and Aunt Katie got Will a cool "bouncy, jumpy pit" (for lack of a better description) for Christmas and he LOVES it. However, it does make his hair stand on end!
3. Jeremy and Will are practicing good hygiene. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Will loves to brush his teeth. Unless of course he drops his toothbrush into the huge change jar and Mommy has to fish it out while praying that she doesn't have to dump out trillions of coins...
4. Will was "helping" me unload the dryer the other day and gathered up (and carried around) all of his blankets that were in the dryer. I guess he was cold?!?
Oh yeah, did I mention that Will is cutting ALL 4 of his eye teeth at the same time? And that he is smart enough to lock me out of my own cell phone and that it took a small army of Verizon engineers and my ph.d. husband to figure out how to unlock his secret code. Oh and another thing, he has also programmed my ringtone to say "We'll be there in a minute, but Jared has to poop" (a message left on my cell phone by Aunt Katie) and now everytime I receive a phone call I am reminded of Jared's bowel movements. If he is smart enough to do all of this at 15 MONTHS, what's going to happen at 15 YEARS?

Let Him Eat Cake!
Will is such a funny boy! His personailty (and vocabulary!) is developing at a fast pace and it seems that he is doing something new every day! Some of his favorite tricks are: counting to 2 (actually it's more like one, two, yay!...we're working on three), sliding face first, TALKING/repeating everything, floating his rubber duckies in the toilet (gross, I know), brushing his teeth (it's really the small things in life) and pretty much anything else he can get into. He is such a good boy and we're glad that we were picked to be his parents!
Our friends, the Scheffers, came over this weekend and had dinner. I served chocolate cake for dessert and, judging by his face in these pictures, Will loved it. It reminds me of the Bill Cosby skit "Chocolate Cake for Breakfast" (although I know Jeremy would never serve this for breakfast...would he?!?). If you havent' heard it (and you have 10 minutes to spare), then click here for the story. Pretty funny stuff.
Have a great Wednesday!

Happy New Year!
Although New Year's Day has come and gone we would still like to wish everyone a happy new year. I would love to tell you all about the fabulous 
New Year's party that we attended (complete with dressy clothes, champagne, and a babysitter) but the real truth is that we rang in the new year in true Norris fashion. Will went to bed around 8:30ish, I went around 11:00ish, and Jeremy stayed up until midnight. He woke me up to give me a kiss and then I promptly fell back to sleep. Pretty exciting stuff. Anyway, we have all decided to come up with a few resolutions that we hope to accomplish in 2007:
WILL (as decided by his mom and dad):
1. eat more vegetables
2. talk more (I know...that one will come back to haunt us!)
3. make new friends
4. play more
AMANDA:
1. eat less, move more
2. recycle
3. plan dinner menus/try new recipes
4. take ballroom dancing lessons
JEREMY:
1. eat less, move more
2. get more rest
3.learn to fly fish
4. take ballroom dancing lessons (because Amanda is making me)
We look forward to this new year and can't wait to see what all is in store for our family!

The Life of Reilly (and Sally)
Hi, all! Sorry for the lapse in postings but we've been terribly busy at the Norris house. Just kidding...we've been slugs. Jeremy was off from December 22nd until January 2nd and it was MARVELOUS! We had a great time playing and visiting with family and we even got one or two things done around the house. Sadly, Jeremy had to go back to work this week but we all got to go to Smyrna/Vanderbilt to visit/work. I'm not one for cutesy pet pictures, but this one of our lazy cats, Reilly (left) and Sally (right), pretty much sums up last week. Sorry for the creepy eyes...they aren't really possessed (at least not all of the time!)
Look for more Christmas/New Year's/Smryna pictures to come this week. Don't worry, no more cat pictures. I realize that it's Will ya'll come to see.
Have a great night!
