11 Months Old (Yesterday)!

This past month has been especially fun. Will is getting more confident with his walking and will walk short distances completely unassisted. He still crawls a lot, but he is very proud of himself when he chooses to walk. This past weekend we went to both Racine and Appleton for Thanksgiving. It was great to see our families and celebrate.

New Camera

I got my Christmas present early and I'm really enjoying my new camera. It's amazing the quality difference. No more red eyes!!

As Long As It's Not A Toy...

then Will will play with it. I think we have a lot of toys for a 10 month old, but he's already bored with all of them. His favorite activites include: playing under the kitchen table, emptying the tupperware drawer, playing with a fly swatter (I cleaned it), banging the broom around, and, of course, scaling the gate. What are we doing wrong???

A Visit From Cheri

We also got a visit from Cheri last weekend. Her daughter, Charlotte, stayed home with Tony, but we look forward to seeing her soon.

Thanksgiving Art

Will and I did some Thanksgiving art last week. He really didn't understand the concept of painting with a brush, so it kind of became finger painting. Hopefully the paint isn't toxic, since he definitley got a little taste in.

Badger Day

The Hoffman family came for a visit yesterday and the boys had a lot of fun. Will doesn't have many male friends, so this was a real treat. Will watched the boys play and Noah and Caden were very tolerant of Will taking toys from them and hanging on them. Thanks for coming!

Not Too Shabby For a 10 Month Old!

Watching Will's first steps has been so much fun. He doesn't always want to cooperate, but when the mood strikes, he does pretty well.

Playing In The Leaves

This video is a couple of weeks old, but I really have nothing else to post. Will is currently fighting a double ear infection and sporting many new bumps and bruises from his adventurous spirit. So......let's remember a better time, 2 weeks ago, when we could play outside in the leaves.

Kisses For The Garbage Man

Will was staring at Anand taking out the trash and was thrilled when he came to the window. He was more than willing to give some window kisses.

The Professor

Park

Will and Sarah had fun at the park last week. Will especially enjoyed the wagon ride and some good pushes from Cheryl on the swings.

I Wasn't Kidding About The Climbing!!

Is this normal? He just turned 10 months old and he's climbing everything in sight! On Sunday I was in the basement doing laundry and when I came back upstairs, Will was gone! He had scaled the gate, went up the stairs and was in the upstairs bathroom playing. When I found him he had a smile from ear to ear. He thought he was very cool...I did not!

Lots of Kisses!

Will has gotten very good at kissing and has now started to initiate the kissing. Actually, kissing is only one of his latest tricks. This weekend Will learned to clap, wave, stand without holding on to anything and take his first step. It was a big weekend!!

Buddies

Today is Sarah's 1st birthday! Last night Will got to spend some time with his buddies to celebrate. Happy Birthday Sarah!

Halloween Night

Motelets came over to do a little trick or treating last night. Will and Sarah couldn't keep there eyes off each other, each thinking the other looked a little bit different. Then we all headed over to Havilands to see Kendall and Dane. The skunk and chick were very welcoming. It was quite a fun night!
