I am so late in posting this, but things have been a little crazy with getting ready for our move to Michigan. Plus Jono leaves tomorrow and is taking my laptop, so talk about last minute.
My little William. You just get more and more fun as the months go by.
- Will really mastered feeding himself this month. He usually squishes it before he eats it, but that's ok.
- He still loves being chased and will now chase us when we crawl on the floor. He has gotten really good at walking with his walker and can even steer it and reposition it. He gets very upset and has a short temper when it gets stuck.
- He has become so much more social. He plays peek-a-boo behind his blanket or anything else that hides him from view, he will copy-cat our actions, loves to wave, clap, high-five (to sound effects), and do an Indian woop. He loves reading stories and singing songs.
- He now remembers who people are by their names and if we ask him where someone is he will look around the room until he finds them.
- He has also picked up some naughty habits like playing in the toilet bowl, unrolling toilet paper, dumping out anything that's in something, unfolding laundry and climbing the stairs when we are not around you.
- When he's on a hard surface (wood, concrete, grass, etc.) he will go up on all fours with his butt up in the air, which we call the "Mowgli Crawl."
- Still loves bath time and loves to play in the water running from the faucet. He gets upset when we turn the water off or when the water drains from the tub.
- He is about done eating pureed foods from containers and much rather prefers eating table food. He's really good about trying everything we give him--especially fruit, bread/toast, drinks and noodles.
- He sleeps about 11 hours at night and still takes 2 naps a day. When I would put him down to sleep I would put his blanket on him and then wave goodbye. He picked it up one day and started waving back, so that has become part of our routine, and I love it.
- My family went to Big Bear the end of September and had a blast. We also celebrated Will's birthday a little early because we wouldn't all be together for his actual birthday. We had a lot of fun, but he refused to eat his birthday cake.
