9 Months Old

Will's ninth month in pictures!

Our little man has started cruising, but not crawling - this guys got his eyes set on walking! 

Can you say hot!?
I've had to come up with lots of creative ways to entertain Will inside

Will has quite the appetite.  He weighed 18lbs 13oz at his nine month appt.
Some of his favorite foods are veggie burgers, yogurt, graham crackers and fresh fruit.

We've spent lots of time in the park behind our house and met a couple
of neighbor kids who are the exact same age as Will - the park is definitely helping our social life.

We went hiking in Great Falls Park.
Will loved his hiking backpack (more than the hike itself!).

Will loves to read books, but not as much as he likes to pull all the books off his bookshelf.

Ut-oh!  Time to lower the crib mattress.

He's mastered the walker and tears around the house in it.
It's quite entertaining (just watch out for your toes!).

On August 14 we had Will dedicated at church. It was a really special morning.
Thanks to the grandparents for joining us!
