Will is Eleven Months Old

Will turned eleven months old this past Monday. I can't believe he is almost one already. He had a growth spurt during the last week or so and he is SO tall now and is starting to lose some of his baby fat. Our little buddy is growing up!



He is still incredibly happy most of the time and he is a busy boy on the go. He is not walking yet but he is very close to doing so. He has stood up alone a few times and has even taken a step here and there.

Will is full of chitter chatter and says "da da" and "ma ma" all the time, although it's hard to tell if it is purposeful or not. And he laughs and giggles constantly, often without any prompting by us. When he's pushing his walking toys around the house, for example, he is full of laughter and excitement, even if it is the 100th time he has done it! He understands a lot more. For example, he sometimes says "hi" but will always vigorously pump his little arm up and down to say hello or goodbye.

He still loves and idolizes his sisters, wanting to do everything they do. And they love him. They call him "my baby" and they give him love all the time. (Except when he wants to play with their toys, of course!) He is not so happy when they retrieve one of the toys he has taken from them ....he yells at them at the top of his lungs....his version of "MINE" for now! And, he has some of his own toys and knows which ones they are and is equally insistent with his sisters when they try to "borrow" his toys!

He is a little guy who is so full of life.....

and of love....

and we love him for it!

Happy eleven-month birthday, little munchkin!
