Will absolutely LOVES books right now. We read several every morning and before bed. He loves to turn pages and especially loves touch-and-feel pages. It's so exciting to see him start to remember some of our books by following commands before I even read the page. For example, he "waves good night to the moon and stars or good morning to the sun" when we get to that page in God Made Me. And he pretends to brush his teeth when we read about it in My Goodnight Book. We mostly stick to board books still, but we have one favorite pop-up book that we read regularly and, unfortunately, Will got a little too curious about the moose that was sticking its tongue out at him. Poor Mr. Moose.
This week, Will can push up to a stand from sitting on the ground. Before Wednesday, he used to crawl to something or someone to pull himself up even though he can walk like a champ now. I'd seen him squat down and stand back up before, but only since two days ago has he been able to keep his balance getting up to a stand from the ground by himself.
Also, if it's possible, I think my kid got cuter this week. He just seems extra adorable to me. Maybe it's his persistently blonde hair or his endless eyelashes. Or the fact that he is so busy and curious all the time now. It's amazing to watch a child grow and change before your eyes. He's so awesome to me.
Anyway, here's some new pictures. I've slowed down a bit on picture-taking recently. Reason being: our external hard drive is FULL! That includes all our music, videos and pictures. I calculated somewhere in the range of 2,100 pictures I've taken of Will since his birth. So we're in the market for a new hard drive and in the meantime, I'm deleting old, unimportant stuff to make room for my picture obsession.
A snack-picnic in the front yard last Sunday.
See what I mean? How cute is this face?
Exploring outside. Will is like a magnet to steps.
Sometimes the most random things are entertaining toys for Will. On Sunday, he carried around a mini bottle of lotion for hours.
Getting our water bottles ready to head out on our walk Wednesday evening.
We go for walks about 3-5 days a week.
Another one of Will's favorite types of toys - a "ball". (Also his favorite word.)
Taking Brutus's ball.
Check out the t-shirt. I thought that was cute.
