One Year Old!

I can't believe my little guy is so old! He has grown and changed so much in the last year. It's hard to believe he's even the same boy.


At his 12-month check he weighed in at 19 lbs 13 oz and 29.5 inches long. Will is quite the chatterbox and has a pretty good vocabulary.  He waves and says bye-bye, shakes his head and says no-no, and he says "what's that", banana, mama, dada, Adam, more, bum and he tries to say "brown bear" whenever we read the brown bear book.


Will loves swinging at the park, but it is way too cold for that now!


He still has gorgeous blue eyes and his hair is getting so long and curly! He has the cutest little ringlets in back. People must think he's pretty because he gets called a girl all the time.


He doesn't love taking baths as much as he used to, but he still enjoys taking them as long as we keep it short. And he still likes to play in the water and splash around. 


Will does well with naps and bedtime, but sometimes he gets a little worked up when he's tired. I still love that grumpy face though!

He is obsessed with bananas and clementines and devours them as fast as he can. He also loves burritos. He tries to steal mine every time I eat one!


We had a nice fall, but Will wasn't very into the festivities.  He doesn't like pumpkins much.


 Or getting dressed up in funny costumes.


He's still a huge goofball and constantly makes silly faces. He thinks he is so funny!


This boy is an eater. He will eat almost anything, especially if mom and dad are eating it. 


Will is getting pretty close to walking, but he's kind of a chicken. He will walk about 6 or 7 steps between me and Adam, but only one or two if he lets go of something on his own. He just decides to stop walking and sits down to crawl.


What a cutie pie!


Will is our cute boy and we sure love him! He has definitely changed our lives for the better.


Coming up soon... a birthday post!

The Amazing Shrinking Baby

Alright, so he's not actually shrinking. But my little chunker is getting so skinny! We took him to his 9-month check on Thursday, and he is only 19 lbs 1 oz (36%) and 29 inches (69%). He is still a little bit roll-y, but I can really see a difference in his face.

Will has started to develop quite the personality, and we are always cracking up at his faces. 


He likes getting into everything, so sometimes I have to trap him so he can't get into trouble.




He is such a happy little guy and always smiling at me!



What a character!


He is a pretty good sleeper; he goes to bed at 7:30 and sleeps until 6 or 7. He also takes two 1-2 hour naps during the day.





He started getting teeth around 7 months, and now he has five of them. And he loves brushing his teeth! (AKA chewing on his toothbrush)




William also loves playing with anything that's not a toy. We give him toys and he chooses hangers instead. Babies....


Will also recently learned how to pull himself up, which caused a little bit of a problem with getting him to sleep, even after I lowered his bed all the way. Luckily he's learned to sit down by himself now, so he can get to sleep. 



My little man is quite the adventurous eater, and will take anything I give him. I don't think he's refused anything yet!  In this picture he has an onion in one hand and a tomato in the other. What a goofball!



When we were getting ready to leave Texas, Will spilt his first blood. Luckily he just split his nose and only cried for a minute. I think I was more upset than he was!


He also learned how to drink from a straw, which really comes in handy when he wants to steal my Diet Coke. 


He is so pretty!


When we got home Mark was really excited for Will to meet Hannah. I wouldn't say he loves her or anything, but he tolerates her as long as she's quiet.


One thing he won't tolerate, however, is grass. He hates it!


Will has been having a rough time getting his front teeth in, and one of his favorite helps is carrots!






And just yesterday, Will decided to crawl on his hands and knees! He's been scooting around on his belly for a couple months now, so we are excited he is actually crawling. Our little man is growing up so fast and we love him so much!
