Just the facts

I am glad that I finally got around to posting the pictures of William, I did however, forget some very important facts.

William for about the last month has been saying DA DA DA DA. This new word has replaced the MA MA MA he previously yelled. He still doesn't know what he is saying but Nick and I like to respond when he mentions either of our names. I am pretty sure we are called mom and dad because they are the first clear sounds that baby's make.

Another recent development (to be specific Wednesday the 21st) is Williams first tooth. It came in on the bottom. He hasn't been particularly fussy because of the tooth but he does have a cold. I am not sure if the tooth or the cold are creating this occasional unhappy mood. In reality he has been pretty regular Wills.

On more of a minor note Wills ate chicken for the first time the other night. He really enjoyed this new food. He is getting frustrated with mommy feeding him and would rather put the food in his own mouth.

William and daddy are also constantly practicing standing up. William can stand up while holding on to something for a few seconds. While in the bath the other day he grabbed the metal track on our shower and pulled himself to a standing up position. I was excited he achieved standing up on his own I just wish he didn't do it in his bath. Wills also loves to hold your hands and walk around. He does pretty good! When he is excited he walks really fast.
Well that is all for now...

Popsicle

Wills and daddy like to participate in activities that mommy finds less than favorable. This particular occasion I caught them sneaking
Popsicle.









In all reality Wills loves Popsicle's and so does his daddy. I allow this illegal activity to continue because they are sugar free. The cool Popsicle might also help with the little mans sore gums.





umm.. Dad I think Mom caught us... If I smile really sweet do you think she won't notice I am eating Popsicle?

Clapping...

Here are the promised pictures of Wills clapping. He loves to clap. I think it is sooooo cute.

He claps for many different reasons but particularly when he gets excited. Excitement also usually accompanies a yell or scream. The last month or so he has really increased in volume. He is really loud! He will occasionally just release a boisterous scream that fills the surrounding area. It is pretty funny but very noisy.

A note for my cousin Anna

Dear Anna,

My mom and I read that you didn't like your biter biscuits. I seriously think you need to reconsider. Look at how much fun I am having destroying my cookie.

There are a couple of reasons I think you should reconsider. The first being that I believe they taste yummy. In fact, my mom tried to take it away and I set her straight immediately with a prompt yell. The next reason is that they make a complete mess. You get to coat your face and high chair in cookie. It is really very enjoyable and you don't even have to clean up! What more could you ask for you can make a complete mess with out any consequence. There is the little matter however, of getting your face cleaned, that may be the one reason not to eat such a delightful cookie. This truly is a down side to biter biscuits. Well, I just wanted to share my opinion on the issue.

Love,

William

On the Grass: the beginning

Here are some more pictures of our funny little boy!


Here is clapping picture

Such a serious face.

Wills certainly is not always serious. Look at that crazy hair!

playing on the grass

Almost there...

A lot of people comment that Wills is a serious baby. He smiles and laughs a lot but he overall is pretty contemplative.


Wills isn't crawling yet but he is definitely moving a lot.
We have to watch him much closer now because not only can he move
he puts everything in his mouth. The other day his daddy let him eat the grass. He said it would be a good lesson for him to learn. When he started gagging and mommy was quite upset.
I guess this is a good prep stage for mom before we reach full mobility and
there are many unknown objects inserted in baby's mouth.

sorry...

Life at the Moulton home (at least for mommy) has been busy busy. We had a fun but busy weekend with everyone from church. Mommy also had lots of homework so no time to add pictures. We have several really cute photos we will certainly have to update as soon as mom gets the chance.

I just wanted to let everyone know they will be coming soon...

Here is a teaser.

Jumper

One of William's favorite activities at Grandpa and Grandma Myers' house is his jumper. This handy little source of entertainment was magically revealed by Aunt Chrisy several months ago. We set it up between the kitchen and the dinning room so Wills gets to be right in the middle of everything. Exactly where he likes to be.

When Wills is in his jumper one of his uncles or aunts usually picks the jumper off the floor and lifts it up. Wills thinks this is funny. Everyone else does as well as there are groundless legs kicking wildly.

Mobility is approaching

Wills is getting more Mobile. Nick is pretty convinced that he will walk before he crawls but I seriously doubt it. When he is on his stomach he doesn't move forward but he moves in circles as he grabs all the different items around him.

I guess I should mention that Nick thinks he will walk before he crawls because Nick grabs Wills hands and walks him around the house. They both find it pretty enjoyable whereas William
gets bored playing on his stomach alone.

Stupid computer!

Wills loves his bath. Particular eating his toys but he loves that wherever he is! He has been able to sit up well enough for the last month to sit by himself in the bath. We all really appreciate that ability.

Saturday morning bath with daddy.

i just spent 20 minutes writing a post about Nick and Wills and play time. I was moving a picture over and all of a sudden a notice came up that Internet explorer was having a problem and they would try to fix it. The next thing I know they closed the program and opened a new window, which of course meant that i lost all my work. I will have to rewrite my post when I get over the depression that has now set in.

I guess I can just make is short.

Nick and Wills love play time! It is really fun! They laugh a lot during play time! I think it is really sweet! Here are some pictures of bath time.
