First Step:
Two weeks ago, while Grandma and Grandpa Edwards were here, William was playing with a pillow on the couch. He turned to the side with the pillow and took one step before falling face down on the pillow. He continued this a few times until....
First Step With Purpose:
Yesterday, Great Grandpa and Bonnie were babysitting William took a step without holding anything to get from his bouncer to the ottoman. When I got home from work, they were telling me about it and showing me the video. Then William took a step from the ottoman into my arms!!! It was so special :)
First Time Taking Multiple Steps:
Today, his Great Uncle Steve and Aunt Maria stopped by to say hello. William took 3 steps from the ottoman into my arms!!! It was so amazing! He did it several times while they were here. It was so exciting!
Grandma and Grandpa were in town for the 4th of July and got to see how much William has grown. On the 4th of July, we went to Great Grandpa's house to celebrate. Will got worn out playing with his toys and great grandpa's shoes that were twice his size. Can you believe, William will be wearing those one day?! I can't imagine. Here is a video at great grandpa's:
Later that week, Great Grandpa showed us a beautiful state park. The restaurant we ate at had a pretty view over the lake. We got some nice pictures at sunset.
William showed everyone how he could push chairs around the dining room of the restuarant. When we were outside, he crawled on his feet (not his knees). He's learned to protect his poor knees on cement.
On Grandma and Granpdpa's visit, they helped me get lots of stuff done around the house. They babyproofed the stairs and cabinets. We dug up the rotten fence posts and replaced them. They worked non-stop on all kinds of stuff around the house.....not much of a vacation, but I REALLYappreciate it!!! The best parents EVER!
However, they did get to babysit which is plenty of reward :)
Peekaboo William!
William showed how he can't sit still for anything.......changing his diaper, getting dressed....its all such a battle now because William is such a wiggle worm!
Barely got his diaper on here....now I'm trying to get some clothes on him:
Willam also gets into everything....which is why we've locked the cabinets. This the drawer that was left available for him to play with.....now a lot to clean for Mommy.
William now smiles with such a big smile that you can see his 4 teeth on top and 2 on bottom!
William is such a cutie pie. Unfortunately, Grandma and Grandpa eventually have to go home though. We were all so sad but it was such a nice trip!
