10 Months Old!

Will turned 10 months old on March 19th! He's just growing up so fast!! I LOVE this stage- he's so much fun, so sweet, and learning new things every day, but I so miss him being a tiny little baby too! I can't believe he's almost 1 year old. I've started planning his first birthday party and I start to cry (big surprise huh? :) every time :)
This past month was great. Will is getting around everywhere with his comando crawl. He's pretty fast. And today- he crawled around the house up on his hands and knees :) He's been pulling up on everything he can. He waves and says "Bye-Bye" and he'll hold up his pointer finger when you ask him how old he's going to be. Of course- you never know when he's going to "perform" these things...HA! He usually does it like 2 minutes after you ask him and will keep doing it over and over. I love it! We're working on blowing kisses :) Will also is a great eater. He loves to feed himself :) The only thing is- you never know what he is going to like each day :) He changes up a lot on the fruit and veggies :) But he loves chicken, turkey, cheese, crackers, biscuits (with jelly), and grill cheeses :)
Will is cutting his two upper front teeth and they should be through sometime this week I bet. You can see them through his gums. Poor boy! The last couple of weeks have been rough. He's been cutting these teeth and got a really bad cold. These both messed up his sleeping routine and I PRAY that we can get him back into his old habits. Will has been a GREAT sleeper! We usually give him his bath around 7:30- 8:00, read him a book, give him his bottle, rock and prayers and then he's asleep. We put him down in the crib and he's out till 6:30- 7:00 am or sometimes later. Well...about 2 weeks ago he started waking up in the middle of the night crying from his teething. I would take a while, but we could get him back to sleep. Then he got a really bad cold and this (in addition to his teething) made him very clingy. He wanted to cuddle! Of course we didn't mind this, but when we'd put in in his crib, he would pop right back up and start crying. We've tried everything for the past week and he just won't go down. We put him in bed with us just so we could all get sleep. As soon as he lays down with us- he's out until we get him up in the morning :) So- this is where we stand...and I'm hoping after these teeth come in we can work on getting back to our schedule :) Actually- Brian got him to sleep tonight and as I type this he's sleeping soundly in the crib!!!! YAY BRIAN!!! YAY WILL!!! Hope he can make it throught the night....Hope we can do this again tomorrow....:)
Oh- one last thing...my mom and me gave Will his first "trim" this weekend!! Brian FINALLY let me do it. He was wanting to wait till he was one, but I just couldn't wait any more! He had the longest rat tail!! It was horrible. I haven't taken any pictures of him and posted them yet since the trim- so yes- his hair is a little scraggly. It looks so much better now- we cut off the rat tail and trimmed above his ears. We didn't touch the top of this hair-so yes- it still sticks up all over the place (and we never know where it's going to stick up) :)

Will LOVES crawling around and playing in the couch :)

Trying to get a group shot of all my boys...(yes- Jack was just shaved- HATE it this short, but it was necessary and will grow out :)



Pulling up in his crib- and sticking his tongue out to make his teeth feel better :)
