12 month check-up

It's hard to believe that our little boy is already a year old. He is so much fun. We've noticed big changes in his development since we've moved. He has really thrived on being able to crawl and cruise around basically wherever he wants without being told, "No, sir! Don't touch that!" In our tiny apartment, we had stuff everywhere! I couldn't baby-proof the place, so poor Billy couldn't do anything. Here, at the house, there is so much room for him to explore, and all sorts of little stairs and rails to play on. In the last two weeks, he has learned to go feet first down stairs and off the couch, use the rails to step down into the family room, and has finally begun to stand alone for a few seconds! William loves playing outside. He does a little bear walk crawl so he doesn't scratch his knees up, and heads straight to the dirt, where he proceeds to grab handfuls of dirt and watch it fall through his fingers. Such a little boy. He also loves books, mostly just pulling them all off of his bookshelf, but sometimes he sits and turns the pages. :) William also weaned off of formula last week, and we're working on the transition to a cup, but he's doing well with it. It's so nice not to have to clean bottles every night! He's a good eater, and enjoys peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or just about anything we are eating.




At his check-up today, Billy clocked in at 25.3 lbs and 31" tall, dropping into the 80th percentile!
