Growing like a weed!

Will just almost 9 months old (March 4). Where has the time gone? I know everyone says that but its so true. We've had several milestones in the last couple months that include:

• Clapping - this is hilarious! He claps at everything. But the best is when I do a silly dance for him and he applauds me. At least someone things I'm a good dancer


• Crawling - the crawling started surprisingly while Will was sick with RSV. We spent alot of time on the floor playing and he just decided that it was time to start moving. He will actually chase the cat on all fours and crawl over to us when we come to pick him up at school. He's best you don't take your eyes off of him for too long or he will be on the run.


• Cruising - he started this shortly after the full on crawling. He will just stand against something and slowly move left or right. Occassionally, he will get brave and let go of what he is holding on to and stand on his own for a very short time. Then look up at us like "did you see that". What a ham!


• Waving - he picked this up RSV week as well. We always wave at him and he kind of had the motion down but now knows when to use it.


• Raspberries - you know when you stick your tongue out and "pth"

• Saying "dada" - ok - I was really hoping for mama first but I'll take what I can get. I'm sure he doesn't know exactly what it means but sometimes if you say where is dada he will look around for Luke. His partner in crime.

So there ya have it! Our little weed!
