Will has turned into quite the eater lately. He's eating almost 100% real food, just an occasional jar of baby food at daycare when he naps through lunch. He is a great eater and will try anything we put in front of him. His newly developed little pot belly is proof of that! He also made his daycare teachers share their lunch with him the other day- he ate 2/3 of a mini pizza, on top of the regular lunch he had already eaten! Little piggy!
Things he likes: Chicken Meatloaf Chicken Burgers Hamburgers Hot dogs Breakfast sausage BBQ Beef Mashed potatoes (his favorite!) Tater tots Potatoes Mac & cheese Pasta Peas Broccoli Mixed veggies Red/green/yellow peppers Onions Black olives Black beans Red beans Rice Bananas Cantaloupe Apple Peach Cheese Goldfish Graham crackers Cheerios Pineapple juice Apple juice Water Ice cream Banana pudding
Things he doesn't like: Lima beans
He's doing great with a sippy cup and now will drink straight water from it. This is his preferred drinking position: So much fun!
We made a quick trip to Wrightsville Beach this weekend. Sadly, we spent more time in traffic jams than we did at the actual beach. We may try to make it out one more time this year, if we can find someplace to stay that isn't super expensive!
Will LOVED the beach. He loved to put his toes and hands in the sand, and naturally, he loved to try and eat the sand and sea shells! He got a faceful of water once, but took it like a good sport.
Unfortunately we don't have many good pictures, because Will refused to look at the camera (a rarity for him) because he wouldn't stop staring at the ocean!
Happy boy! First time to get toes wet in the ocean! Ready to go swimming!I loved playing in the sand! Family photo!
More pics on facebook, but I can't get them all to load here!
Sorry it's been so long! Here's a mega-update on Will and the latest goings-on in our lives!
Will is now 8 months old. How did that happen?? He is ALL OVER THE PLACE! Crawling super fast, pulling up on everything (including our legs, ottomans, tables, toys, etc). He has now mastered crawling up the stairs (chaperoned, of course!). He loves eating baby food and now he's all about Cheerios. We haven't found any food he doesn't like. Apparently he has been caught swiping food from other kids at daycare on 2 occasions! He is such a happy boy, always smiling, laughing, talking and playing. He gets fussy when he's tired, but that's about it! He loves to run errands- he likes to look around at everything in the store and smile at anyone that will look at him! He has figured out how to splash like a crazy man in the bath tub- I ended up drenched after his last bath! He got a haircut from me, because he was getting pretty shaggy. We went swimming at a friends' pool a few weeks ago and Will loved it!
And now for some pictures...
Getting ready for a bath! Messy face from a teething biscuit! Just goofing around! Yum! I love to eat EVERYTHING!
Jayhawk buddies! Thanks for the cool hats, Poppa! We love them! (And thanks for the KU onesie, Meg!) Stay tuned for some pictures from Will's first trip to the beach!
So much fun!
