This post will include William's updates from the past two months. He has really grown physically and intellectually (that makes it sound like I'm saying he's smart, but I just mean he's really figuring things out).
-He makes the sound babababa all the time, but he also started to say dadadada at about 8 1/2 months old. No sign of mama yet. But that's fine--he can love on his Daddy all he wants!!! He started saying nananana on Friday (right at 9 months).
-He sits up on his own--I think he mastered that right at 8 months. He started puffs at about 8 months and started to eat [adult] food about two weeks ago (8 1/2 months) which have included: deli meat, pot roast, shredded cheese, sliced cheese, yogurt, grits, carrots, bananas, mandarine oranges, blueberries (didn't like), brown rice and tomatoes.
-His hair really started to come in at 8 months; we still can't tell what color it will be or the texture, but if we had to guess it looks like it will be a mix of blonde/brown and curly.
-He started crawling good at 8 1/2 months. It's more of a "crab crawl" than anything, but he can get anywhere now! If I leave the den to go to into the kitchen or laundry room to do something, he'll follow me, crying the whole way. He expects our undivided attention at all times and that is tough!
-He knows what we mean when we say to give us a kiss. He will lean in and open his mouth. Not quite the kiss we want, but at least he understands the concept.
-He had a good doctor's appointment on Friday where his doctor told us to start the sippy cup (which we have tried since about 8 months but he hasn't really gotten it yet).
His stats are:
Weight: 20lbs 2oz. (45th percentile)
Height: 27" (20th percentile)
Head: 17" (15th percentile)
It figures that he's not very tall...we would be shocked if he was!
Below are some of my favorite pictures from the past 2 months:
Bathtime (still use the sink and our bathtub was at Mimi and Grandaddy's house)
First taste of ice cream...loved it!
Starting to get into things that have wheels...
William loves Willie
Loves to bite his aquarium and it's not even soft!
William loves his Grandaddy
He likes to chew on the snot-sucker...I try to make sure it's clean when he does this, but I'm sure he's had a taste of his own snot!
Big cheeks!!!
Like I said...the snot-sucker is a great toy!
I LOVE THESE NEXT TWO PICTURES!!!!!

We had lunch in Cashiers one afternoon and the food was great, but I think I picked up William's toy about 75 times.
