Four new teeth coming in on the top. We thought it was just the two middle ones, but now the two on either side are also breaking through the gums. So that makes six in total.
Army crawl is picking up speed and allowing Will to check out more and more stuff in the living room, hall way, and his room. So we are slowly moving more and more stuff up higher, out of the way, etc.
He loves bath time and playing with the water. He loves the tug boat that streams water from the front and doesn't mind water on his head. He has only taken one digger so far, face first into the water. I grabbed him quick, but he got a mouth full of water and was not happy about it. Now he seems to be extra careful and has his legs extended out straight at a 90 degree angle to each other for extra support.
His pincer grasp is improving and he is about 90% accurate with his puff's from high chair tray to mouth trajectory. We are trying to slowly add in more table food and yesterday he did really well with pot-roast carrots, potatoes and a little meat.
William's babbling has become louder and more varied. We suspect his first word will be Dada, he can say it now, but doesn't really apply it to Adam.
He has always loved books but in the last couple of months he insists on books before bottle at night. He sits so well and is so quiet while I read to him. It is a ritual I love doing with him. Half the books we ready I could probably recite by heart if asked. Some of his favorites include "Big Little", "Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See?", "Ten Little Ladybugs", "Buzz Buzz Busy Bees", and "The Big Red Barn".
We went of a long hike yesterday at a State Park called Kettle Moraine. First we started off on a small trail, but it started to get too overgrown and Adam was having to duck quite a bit. So then we drove over to another area of the park where the path is wider and better up kept. William had a great time checking everything out and making lots of noise to scare away any wild life. I had my first try at the back pack on the last part of the hike, and wow is that a work out going up big hills. My thighs were screaming by the end. William had a great time playing "giddy-up" with my hair as he was riding along. Good thing I have lots of hair!
He didn't want to sit still for a picture, so I took pictures and repositioned the bear as he crawled along. Its amazing how much he has grown, in the first pictures I took with this bear it was almost as big as him. This little guy has enriched our lives in so many ways and we love watching him grow and learn.
