William got down into almost his birthday suit tonight to wish a few people a happy birthday: Grandpa Heidt and Uncle Joe! We hope you both had great days!
Parents as Teachers visit today went well. Our teacher was impressed that William crawled on over to her bucket of toys and then pulled himself up. And then let go for a few seconds (our little daredevil!). As expected, he is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead on his gross motor skills and on track with everything else. She gave us some great suggestions to help us work with him on his fine motor skills and his babbling. She stressed he is NOT behind in these areas - he is just choosing to focus his time and energy on the gross motor stuff. Even if we try to work with him on some fine motor stuff, she predicts he will not be super interested and will attempt to go back to working on his walking skills. We'll see.
Late breaking news is I bought several bananas at the grocery store today to start William on. I mashed one up for him this afternoon. He wasn't crazy about it at first. We tried it again later in the day and he gobbled it right up. I'm wondering if the mashed fruit softened as the day went on and made it easier to eat? We'll have to try it again sometime soon!
