O~N~E!!!!

How did that happen - our little buddy is ONE YEAR OLD!!!!  He hit the year mark a couple weeks ago on Aug 16 (oops - a little behind in my blogging!) and hasn't looked back since!

Here's a little update on Silly Willy -

Sleep - he has turned into a pretty good sleeper - at least for this week.  He will go to sleep between 7 -7:30 pm and wake up around 5:15-5:30 am - he's an early riser!  But he'll go down for his first nap at 8:30 am, sleep for about 2 hours, then take another nap at 1 pm or so and sleep for another two hours.  He's been sleeping through the night pretty much most of the time.  But it seems every once and a while - maybe averaging 2 times in 2 weeks, he'll wake up and fuss.  If he's not sick or teething he'll usually put himself back to bed.

Eat - he continues to love food!!  He now has 7 teeth and #8 is also just about through so he can eat a lot more food!  I have to make his plate of food about the same as Julianne's!  My formula is gone so he got his last bottle tonight!  He's been just getting one bottle of formula the last week and has been drinking milk the rest of the day.  He doesn't like his milk as much as he liked his formula so it's been a little bit of a struggle.  His favorite foods so far are spaghetti, yogurt, Cheerios, Ritz crackers, barbecue, potato salad, any kind of bread, bananas and ice cream.

He is now toddling all around the house!! He took his first steps at about 11 1/2 months and by his first birthday, he was walking pretty good.  He loves to play with my phone and the remote - not any of the play ones or the ones that don't have batteries - just the real ones that we are trying to use!  He also loves to try to get into Julianne's table where she has her markers and color books and has mastered the skill of opening the toilet lid. So, needless to say, we have to keep the door to the bathroom closed!

Will also has quite the little attitude at his young age!  If he doesn't get what he wants, he lets out his ear piercing screech!  I really should test it on the decibel scale - it would probably rank right up there with a freight train!  He has learned how to clap and wave bye-bye recently as well.

This year was full of ups and downs, but it's been so fun watching Will grow - I can't wait to see what the future years bring!!  Love you buddy!!
