11 months old and all over the place!

Wills will be 11 months old tomorrow, and boy, is he a full-time job! Some of his favorite things to do are: Point at things, Ride in his wagon from Grandpa and Grandma, throw things out of his wagon while we are out walking, laugh at Fletch and chase him around the house, play peekaboo/"Where's Wills?", and bang on pots and pans with a wooden spoon. He makes a lot of noise, but isn't quite saying any definitive words yet. He is crawling all over the place and won't stay in one spot for long. Needless to say, he wears us out!

On a side note...and unrelated to Wills...We finally replaced the light fixture in our kitchen/eating area.

Isn't it cool? For those who don't know, I have a lot of red accents in the kitchen.

An interesting couple of days...

We've had an interesting couple of days. Tim went to Montreal for work over the weekend, so my mom came for a visit (thanks Grammy!). Wills has just not been acting himself lately - he's been fussier than usual, and we've had a really hard time getting him to fall asleep. We thought he was just teething (4 new teeth on top) but it turns out he had a sore throat and cold - at least that's what the doctor thinks. Each day is getting a little better - hopefully he will be back to his happy self in no time.

Here are some pics from the past few week!

Just some pics

Nothing new going on with us, just enjoying a weekend at home!

What's new

Let's see, what's new...Wills is cutting 4 new teeth up top, and he is trying all kinds of new "people" food - green beans, mozarella cheese, sweet potatoes, baked apples. He is sleeping pretty well at night - usually from about 8pm to 5:30 or 6am. He doesn't take great naps, at least when he's home with us on the weekends. He is crawling all over the place, and he loves his new playroom. He also loves the pool - I'll try to get some pics this weekend when we go!

Updates! 10 months old...

All is well here in Atlanta! Wills is just getting over his first ear infection, which stinks - I was really hoping that he would have this super-immunity to them. Oh well - he got a cold last week and it ended up as ear infections in both ears.

He is crawling all over the place, and pulling up on everything that he can reach. We turned our sunroom into a playroom, and it is officially his room with all of his stuff. He is eating some finger foods by himself, like shredded cheese and cheerios, but he still doesn't really like chunky foods. He knows exactly how to use a sippy cup, and loves water, apple juice and pear juice.

His favorite word/sound is "uh-oh"...he says it all the time, as a response to everything. He can also make all of the da-da-da, ba-ba-ba sounds, but just not on command. He also knows how to clap, and will start to clap anytime you sing "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"! His other favorite song is "The Wheels on the bus" - I think they teach him these songs at day care.

Here are an assortment of pictures we have take lately. The first two are his 9 month pics.

11 months old and all over the place!

Wills is just shy of 11 months old, and boy, is he a full-time job or what! Some of his favorite things to do these days are to give high fives, go for rides in his wagon from Grandma and Grandpa, throw things out of his wagon while we are out walking, point at things, chase Fletch around the house
