8 Months

It is hard to believe that Will is already 8 months old. We are so lucky to have such a great little man that brings us so much joy every day. Will weighs about 21 pounds, has six teeth (four on top, two on bottom), babbles strings of "da" and "ba", but sadly no "ma". He goes to sleep at night like a champ, but still prefers to stay awake during the day. He can feed himself cheerios, puffs and other small bits of food. He prefers mommy for soothing, comfort, and calm. Daddy is best for excitement, laughter, and fun. William loves the cat, but now matter how sweetly he smiles or coos at her, Chewie prefers to run in the opposite direction. He army crawls all over the house and beelines towards the smallest things on the floor. He is pulling himself up on things and has discovered that he can go from his belly to sitting up in just a few short moves. Will started a new daycare this fall and the ladies who care for him can't believe how strong he is. A care giver from another room stopped Marc today and said that he is the cutest baby she has ever seen. We whole-heartedly agree!
