Willian is 8 Months Old!

William turned eight months old this past weekend. He's so fun right now. I think I say this every month, but I mean it! Anyway, this past month he really started showing his little personality. He's now army crawling everywhere and really interested in getting his hands on anything within his reach. He just loves our cell phones, our house phone and the remote control. And, he just popped his third tooth - his first on top.

My little giraffe

We had a fun Halloween with our little giraffe. We had fun walking him up and down the boardwalk, and then handing out candy. On a side note, it's amazing the age range of trick-or-treaters we got.....6 month olds, 70 year olds, and many in between.

A great weekend...

We had a great time last weekend with Mima and Uncle Jacob.  It was so much fun to have them out here.

Friday night we had dinner with baby London, her parents (of course), and Cathy and Tom. That was a lot of fun to get the little cousins together.

Mima reading William his new book. He loves it!

I'm sure William was trying to eat Uncle Jacob's glasses or face here:)

And, I think this is a great picture Mima caught of William smiling in his car seat. He's such a good car traveler!

William got another case of the giggles...

William doesn't often get a case of the giggles, but he did this afternoon. We love capturing it on video because it doesn't happen very often.

6 Months Old!

Wow. I can't believe it's been six months since William blessed our lives. And, I can't believe how delinquent I am in blogging. I figured going back to work would make our lives busy, and it certainly has.

Anyway, William has changed so much this past month. He now can sit up on his own and play with toys, can "scoot" along the ground, can roll over both ways, has his first tooth and started eating. All in the past month! Amazing!

In the Pool!

William went in the pool for the first time yesterday. He loved the water and was so content the entire time. We can't wait to take him again!

William's 5 months!

William turned five months old! Ben and I both keep saying how much we love this age. He's "talking" so much now, loves playing with us (touching our faces, playing peek-a-boo, imitating sounds), can roll over, can almost sit up on his own, thinks his toes are a new toy that should go in his mouth, and can hold his pacifier and bottle on his own. He loves to just play with the pacifier, and I think that's because he's now officially a thumb sucker. I guess both Ben and I were thumb suckers, so maybe it was just a matter of time. Anyway, here are some pictures from the last few weeks!

Our former exchange student from Paraguay, Pame, came to visit us for a few days. William just loved playing with Pame.

We put William in his high chair for the first time. He didn't eat in there (not yet) - just played - while we ate dinner. He looks like such a big boy - I just had to share.

Auntie Katherine and Ben thought Fridays should be long sock days - a throw back to how my Dad used to wear his socks to baseball practice. We took a photo. I think William looks ready for t-ball practice:)
