A little off the top.




Will got his first haircut today. His curls were getting a little out of control (almost looked like he had a start on some dreadlocks in the back). So I got out the scissors and cheerios. He handled it pretty well and the haircut doesn't look too bad. I'm sure he won't think that if I'm still cutting his hair a decade from now...

His latest fascination is with buses and trucks. We have lots on the street outside our house. He points to every single one he sees. If he's on the front porch and can hear the truck or bus, but can't see it, he'll still stop what he's doing and point towards the street.

Two more molars are starting to come in on the top of his mouth - but he seems to be handling it better than the previous two. He had one crabby day but that's been about it.

Steadier than the economy...

Seems like Will has maybe joined the ranks of the walking! I'd guess he spends about half of his time upright and wants to walk more than crawl. Here are a couple of videos highlighting his feats of balance...

One step closer


Will seems to be over the worst of this teething episode - however he had a small reaction to his chicken pox vaccine and for a few days looked like he'd been attacked by a swarm of mosquitos. The spots didn't seem to bother him - he just looked a little rough. Most have cleared by now and no new ones seem to be showing up.
He's making big progress on the walking front. We've seen a couple of full room crossing feats - although mostly he's consistently doing 6-8 steps at a time. I've posted two videos below....
