William gets to hang with Gran

Will's nanny, Lola, had to have surgery so he got to hang with Gran almost the entire week! Will got some new CDs with fun sing-a-longs that he loves. 

William is 6 Months Old!

 

William went to his 6 month appointment.  He is still a healthy boy.  He's had a growth spurt since his last visit getting him up to the 50th percentile in height.  He has also grown out of all his 3-6 month clothes and is in 6-9 month clothes now. 

Weight:  18 lbs  7 oz        75%
Height:   25.8 in               50%
Head:     17.3 in                75%

William is getting more and more of a personality.  He laughs so often now.  We absolutely love it!  It is so cute!  He also loves to watch his Dad do anything and everything.  Daddy is so very interesting!

This is the cutest video!  John is trying to get William to crawl, so John is crawling back and forth behind the camera.  Will thinks it is hysterical! 

William is getting two teeth.  The two in front on the bottom jaw.  His right one started coming in first and here is a picture :)

 He now sees things that he wants and reaches for it. That is just such a big step! Here is the beginning of the month when he had first started doing that.  He sees his pacifier, reaches for it and actually can put it in his mouth!  It was just so amazing, we had to catch it on video :)

Will is sitting up very well now.  He is reaching for everything in sight, which has made him more independent.  He can entertain himself for a little while now.  When I get ready for work, I can sit him on a blanket with toys and he will put them all in his mouth one by one, and be content until I'm ready to take him to Lola's. 

William got his first cold this month.  It was absolutely pitiful!  He couldn't breathe through his nose so he has now learned to breathe through his mouth.  He got a sore throat which caused his voice to be raspy.  It made his crying even more heartbreaking than before.  In this video, we have just tried to suck out the snot from his nose.  We tried to catch his raspiness:

From this, William has started to sound like Grandpa Bill Edwards. 

 

Hot baths should help and he LOVES bath time now.  He splashes around in the water like crazy.

And the big event of the month?!  William started solid food!  Rice cereal is what he started with.  It looks like the porridge that poor, orphans eat in the movies.....not too appetizing.  William was not such a fan the first time.  He wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do with it and kept pushing the food out with his tongue.  The first time took 15 minutes from start to finish.  This video is the abridged version of it, but still 5 minutes long. 

William has gotten much better and eats it up within 5 minutes.  It was a very quick transition shockingly.

This winter has been AMAZINGLY warm.  We just can't believe it.  William got to experience a picnic for the first time.  He loves to be outside.  When he gets fussy around 4-5pm, we go for a walk and he feels much better.  He is silent the whole time and just watches everything go by the stroller. 

Here are some random pics we took of William in his 6th month:

 

We got some professional pictures of William done for his 6 month birthday.  We are waiting on the final edited pics and then we'll be sending them out to everyone :)
