William is developing beautifully. He is such a happy baby and just full of life. He's incredibly alert and doesn't miss a beat. He watches all the antics of his big brother and just beams with intrigue. When William gets fussy, he's usually soothed with engaging eye contact. Once he gets your attention, he just lights up and coos as if carrying on a conversation with you.
This month we've introduced the doorway jumper and the exersaucer - both of which he loves. Tummy time is more enjoyed now and he's getting close to making his first rollover.
William has found his tongue and is exploring with it to make some adorable expressions and new sounds. He also pays particular attention to all we do with our tongues, especially when it comes to eating. Watching someone eat, William starts smacking his lips and moving his tongue - he's definitely interested in eating something new!
William is up over 18 pounds a touch more than 27 inches long. He blew through his 6 month clothes and is comfortably in 6-12 month stuff (which truthfully fits him perfectly now).
Unfortunately, our nights this month have been challenging, to say the least. We were so relieved that our bedtime routine became more established, smoother and earlier (usually down between 8 - 8:30), however this little munchkin then would wake often every 45-60 minutes and would want to be soothed back to sleep (often all night long like this). We tried a sound machine, supplemented bottles, placing him on his side and belly, swaddler on/swaddler off, blasting a lullaby CD... and way too much reading of the old baby books for advice. To no avail, we're moving on to introduce rice cereal!
Once in the highchair, William loved slapping his hand on the tray....
Where's the good stuff, mama!
After gulping down plenty of cereal, this guy was plump and happy!

So cute. Love Nicholas announcing he wants pizza! Of course Will is going to love cereal. He's like Jake, cereal with a hand 'chaser'!
