9 months and movin'!

Will is 9 months old today.  Whew... what a month. We've had major milestones, busy weeks and some sickness (poor baby!).

Wilson is a chunk!  The sickness allowed us to get a weight at the doctor's office during one of our visits.  22 pounds. No idea of height.  Look at that toothy grin!  He's got 4 on top and 3 on the bottom.

Will is crawling.  Slowly and wobbly, but on all fours.  Hope did the army crawl around this age.  Will never did that.  He is also loving to stand up and he can even pull himself up.  As with all of his milestones, he tries them out alone in his crib first so I don't get to see the first time.  What a surprise to see your little guy who just learned to sit up on his own now standing on his own.  He's better at cruisin' the furniture than he is at crawling but either will get the job done.

The pig on a tractor rattle is still his favorite toy.  He also loves the black remote to the TV.  Don't bother him with the grey one for the DVD player.  It must be the black one.  It is what motivated him to get moving the first time.  Will likes to chew on his shape sorter shapes as well. His favorite is his purple plus sign. 

He's sweet as sugar but all snails and puppy dog tails.  He likes to be loud, never wants to sit still and is a bundle of energy.

With Hope my jobs were to engage her little mind and challenge her socially.  Will is going to be keeping him physically safe and running off his energy.  I am about to be very very busy.

He still loves to eat.   He likes it all! Yogurt was an acquired taste for him, but now he'll eat that too.  He seems to have my temperament when he is hungry. (feed me...NOW!).

Hope is also still growing, still learning, still precious, creative and sweet.  My mom recently found my wedding veil and let Hope use it for dress up.  I think I'll save this photo to give her on her own wedding day.  Princess Hope in her castle jammies.  All in all, at the Maglinger house, our cup runneth over.
