9 Months of adorability


So Will had his 9 month Check up on Friday. We've been taking bets to see how much he actually weighs and he came in at a solid 20 lbs and 29 3/4 inches tall. My girls didn't hit that until well after their first birthdays so we're thrilled that Will is as solid as he is. He's already advanced into his one year old clothing which is a little weird but he sure has some seriously cute clothes. He's into crawling as fast as he can everywhere, climbing up anything that will stand still long enough for him to attach his hands to. He loves pushing chairs around and walking behind them. His favorite toy is the remote control especially if Daddy is using it. He loves eating but really loves to feed himself and eat real people food. He's up to 7 (that's right 7) teeth and the 8th tooth is getting ready to pop on through. He's still the happiest baby in the world and lets everyone know it. He waves to everyone and he's close to signing. He knows that he can communicate with his hands he just gets too excited to say stuff and just ends up laughing. He's due for a hair cut around his ears but I'm too chicken to cut it. He never ever holds still. He's known as wiggly Will in our house which has made diaper changing a fantastic chore. He has learned how to crawl, incredibly speedy-like, by using some toy to slide, helping to eliminate the friction. His favorite toy of choice is the phone on wheels. He's still a thumb sucker which for sure has it's pros and cons. As soon as Halloween comes around I know his birthday will be here in a flash so I'm just holding on to every bit of baby in him that he has left. We sure love our little guy and all of his adorable screams and grunts. I just wish I could hold off his birthday for a little while longer...Oh well I guess We'll just enjoy him why we can.

he IS such a happy baby! He's so smiley all the time. What a blessing. I'm praying for one just as happy-go-lucky :) My friends' baby just turned 1 and he just cut his first tooth! Crazy how everyone is so different

He's so cute! My kids didn't hit twenty lbs until after the one year mark either. I was always bummed that we couldn't switch to forward-facing-car-seat action on their birthdays.
And if you need tips on giving hair cuts to sleeping children, I have some practice :)

arrgh! those darn baby teeth, they are the worst, in my home, at least. just hearing the words "baby teeth" makes me cringe. wiggley will is an especially nice name, for the longest time allie was knowing as "drooley julie" *see above note about teeth for explanation.

Time flies. He just keeps getting cuter. I still can't believe you have 3 kids and one is 5! PS Happy almost birthdaY!

Sarah Jayne said...

I don't know which I find harder to believe- that Lizzie is already 5 (did you really move that long ago?) or that you have 3 kids! Crazy!
