William is 9 months

This little guy is growing up before my eyes every.single.day. And it's making me sad! His job is to be the baby... I mean he really needs to just stay 9 months for-ev-er! I love this stage! The girls just adore him. They fight over who gets to pick his clothes

Some things he's doing right now:
-Army crawling
-Rocking on all 4's and starting to brave 1-2 moves before dropping down to his belly
-Opening and closing cupboard & closet doors (we just added child locks = frustrated baby)
-Babbling a lot! Mama, dada- not necessarily intentionally, and he mimics sounds we make
-Says Hi.
-Claps, especially when we cheer for him.
-Recognizes his name.
-Has moved upstairs to join his sisters and is sleeping through the night!
-Has 2 bottom teeth that have poked through.
-Loves rice, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, and green smoothies!
-Draws attention because of his BIG SMILE and RED HAIR!
-Has started pulling up to his knees in the tub, on the bottom step, on the dishwasher and anything else he can.

From the doctor: In the 15% for weight & 50% for height.
William will be getting a probing done on his right eye this week. He has a clogged tear duct that we are excited to fix- no more green, goopey, eye drainage!

We love this little man!
