8 Months



Seeing that my mommy apparently has been slacking on my blog, I've decided to take things into my own hand and write my own 8 month blog. I've got to keep my fans happy. Yes..it's true..I, William James, have turned 8 months old. I know, I find it hard to believe that I've been around for 8 months already too! Time goes by when you are having fun! It was a pretty big month for me if I do say so myself. While I still haven't quite learned how to crawl, I have been practicing really, really hard. It's tough when you weigh 21 pounds..but hey, I don't mess around when it comes to food.

Speaking of eating, I did learn how to use a sippy cup. Here's a picture of me with my cup.

I can even drink one handed!


I just started eating three meals a day. Now that I'm 8 months old..I had to cut back on the bottles. Those are for babies.

I also got two teeth and a third one coming in! Some of my friends in my playgroup who already had teeth were saying what a terrible experience it was so I was a little worried. However, it really wasn't as bad as everyone said. Now the molars..that's going to be another story.


My mommy calls me a "squirmy wormy" because I won't sit still. Can you blame me..I've been sitting still for 8 months now. I'm ready to get this party started and start moving. I LOVE to play with my music table. It is so much fun standing..much better than being stuck sitting on the floor. Sometimes when I get tired of holding myself up with my hands..I just rest my belly on the table.



And drum roll please...I'm getting the hang of standing on my own!


So that's it from me for now. I'm going to go practice my crawling..maybe Elmo can show me how. Hope you enjoyed my blog!

Will's First Tooth!

After months of drooling and chewing on everything he can get his little hands on, Will finally got his first tooth! Yay! It was a very exciting discovery and just one more sign that our little guy is growing so quickly!

You would never have known a little tooth was pushing its way through because it didn't seem to bother Will at all. Aside from some very rosy cheeks and increased drooling (which I didn't think was possible), he was his same old happy self. I hope they are all this easy! We can also see his second tooth about to pop through any day.

I tried my hardest to get a picture of his new tooth but every time the camera came out, the tooth went into hiding. I was able to snap one picture which he wasn't very happy about. You can somewhat see the little white tooth coming out.

Now the question is...do I have to start brushing his tooth?

Trick or Treat

Smell my feet...give me something good to eat! Happy 1st Halloween Will!! Will had a fun filled first halloween and we definitely enjoyed celebrating it with him. Our cute little dinosaur got to wear his costume 3 times and go to 2 halloween parties. He didn't seem to mind the costume despite not being able to see most of the time because the teeth were covering his eyes. haha. Here are some pictures from our activites.





No..Will is not crawling yet but he is well on his way. Here he is doing his best dinosaur impression.



On Halloween night, we celebrated with our friends and headed downtown for a little trick or treating. We didn't actually go door to door, but walked around and enjoyed seeing all the kids costumes.

Here are the happy (?) trick or treaters. Rylee and Will didn't get the memo that the Monkey was the costume of choice this year.

Ready to go trick or treating!

The day after Halloween, we had our playgroup party (thanks for hosting Jodi!). It was the first time that all 14 moms, dads, and babies were able to get together since meeting 7 months ago. It was a great time and of course we got some cute group pictures. Will didn't even mind having to wear his costume one more time.
