William is babbling. He learns a new consonant and sticks with it for a few days, saying it over and over as he crawls through the house. It was a nice treat for him to be on "Mama" for my first Mothers Day! He said it over and over for me. What a sweetie! This month he has learned his B's, D's, and M's for sure. Hard to keep up with all the babbling. He does it the most when he is chewing on something or in full concentration walking around the couch.
At the end of the month, William switched to spitting as his "consonant". He runs his mouth like motor all around the house. It is super adorable.
At 9 Months, William got to try new foods. Up until this point, he has been an astonishingly good eater. However, we have now learned he HATES broccoli. The first spoonful I put in his mouth, he made a disgusted face, let it sit in his mouth for a little bit and then spit it right back out. On the second bite I thought he was going to gag and throw up. The magical touch? Banana! Bananas now go inside everything. Broccoli, Asparagus, Green Beans....Will dislikes them all, so we get bananas or apples or sweet potatoes to cover the taste up.
William also went through a phase of shaking his head this month while he was eating. It was so cute.
And then Daddy made him laugh hysterically during dinner time:
As I was making the asparagus for William, he played with it on the floor. It was unlike any of his toys. It felt funny in his hands and rolled out of them in such an odd way. He played with his asparagus for a LONG time.
William also learned to drink water from a straw. Gran Gran got him to drink a lot of water that way! Although he wasn't too thrilled about the taste of lemon in it, haha.
We are constantly baby proofing our house. Updates are made as we learn what Will can get in to. This is why we had to remove all the doorstops in the house...he actually pulls off the little rubber end.
William learned to throw a ball this month. He gets so excited by our reaction when he does it.
William went to his first waterpark. This park is right by our house and we just randomly drove by it one day. It is a great find! He is going to love it when he learns to walk. There are swings, slides, jungle gyms, and this water park. It has the nice rubber floor around the park as well.
William loves to climb all over us. He uses us as a jungle gym, landing right on his head sometimes. I'm getting bruises everywhere from him climbing on me so much.....but its worth it!
This is how William gives me kisses. He opens wide and presses his mouth against you.
Will got his own sunglasses for the summer days coming up. He's not a huge fan of anything on his face or head. But once you walk outside, he zones out in the sun and you can do anything to him....haha.
A typical day with Daddy....watching him play his xbox
Will started to be interested in the stairs at the first start of May. By the end of the month he finally tried to climb them and went all the way to the top!
