9 Months (Almost)

William will be 9 months on Sunday and he just keeps getting bigger! I took him to the doctor yesterday (first ear infection of the school year) and he weighs 21.5 pounds. He finally figured out how to crawl on all fours and he quickly scurries across the room to get all sorts of things. His current favorites include remote controls, shoes, cords and, as always, the cat. He loves to try and copy what we are saying - just the other day we got him to say "hewo." (Of course he knows what he's saying and he means it!) Will pulls himself up and loves to get into the TV armoire. He doesn't quite get the meaning of "no" yet, so we find ourselves picking him up and putting him in a new locale quite often. He is eating more finger foods; today he enjoyed the soft veggies from a pot roast. He smiles constantly, giggles often, and is full of surprises!
