Walking

William took his first steps around the end of May, when we were down in Utah. He kept taking more steps and getting braver and braver, and just after his 1st birthday, he was walking all over. I’ve been meaning to post a video of him doing it since then but seems like every time we try and video him he doesn’t cooperate. But finally caught him on camera walking for a few seconds.

And for some reason the video gets rotated after uploading it. Sorry about that.

Funny William

William makes this funny noise quite often, where he kind of rolls his tongue I guess? Not sure, but it always makes us laugh.

Also, lately he’s loved standing up with whatever he can. We always find him in his crib standing up and he’s even started somewhat climbing things, like stairs. He’s getting too big, too fast.

7 months old!  Wow!  Still doing great.  He’s a pretty happy boy most of the time.  He isn’t crawling yet, but he does roll and scoot to get himself most anywhere he wants.  He loves eating food and his favorites so far have all been veggies, which hopefully is a good sign.  He still is by far our biggest, in terms of weight, which is great.  Nice having a child that’s actually on the scale, not that that means much, but still nice.

William’s first food

So we gave William his first taste of food last week.  He’s not quite 6 months old, but we waited longer to give him food then we did Lucas or McKinley, so we figured we’d be okay.  He wasn’t a real fan of it, which you can see in the video below, but I’m sure he’ll come around.
