7 months, 6 teeth

Today, William is 7 months old and we discovered his sixth tooth coming in. No wonder he is such great company. We learned this morning that skipping a nap in order to go to church is probably not a good idea. Will have to come up with a new plan to accomplish this for now as he was exceptionally crabby for the rest of the day. We did our traditional photo shoot with the little stinker this morning. It took 2 of us to get even these medium quality shots. Definately not happy with them, but he would just NOT hold still. That is the name of the game lately. Constant motion. He has been fully crawling with the belly up for about 3 weeks now and is just getting faster and faster. We have master the sit down for the most part and when we are not crawling we are sitting down! Standing up! Sitting down! And trying to stand up while holding the pointiest/largest toy available. Once upright with said toy, we then shake it and shake it some more while laughing like a lunatic. John and I are tired. Tired of running after him (please note: we are not tired OF him, just tired from running after him).

A great place to stand! Hanging onto my ROCKING chair!


Most of the photo shoot, William was doing this: crawling away.

Other news:

On Thursday I dragged the leaky pool out for a dip as it was nice and cool out for us (only 92 degrees! Almost jacket weather!). William was working hard on that new tooth and didn't really seem to notice he was in the water. Oh well. He was darn cute!

This is my teething look. Bottom lip sucked in. One hundred percent accurate as to predicting a new tooth so far.

Bathing beauty. In an effort to "help" him enjoy swimming, I put him on his back. Still chewing.

On Friday, we introduced beef. William ate it up, even though smelled horrible (yuck).

After beef. Also ate sweet potatoes. Honest, they aren't all on his face!

Finally, Saturday we made some important discoveries when we tried to eat out at our favorite restaurant. William WILL still take a bottle. William LOVES bread from the steakhouse. And, William does like to socialize (aka: Stare) at the people around him for extended periods of time. Stay tuned! Up next: Turkey!
