Bath Time

A lot has happened since the last time my mom and dad posted. I am walking, running, 'talking' (my favorite word is cheese), taking swimming lessons, reading books, playing all the time with my toys and my cats, getting in to everything I can get my hands on and doing everything a crazy "little boy" likes to do. I am completely off my oxygen and monitors and mom even emptied out most of my 'medical drawer'. I got my mickey out of my belly in February and am really starting to like food (goldfish crackers and cheese are my favorites). One of the best times for me is bath time. Mom or dad will ask me if I want to take I bath, I climb the stairs, run into the bath room and try climb in the tub. Most of the times, I try to climb in with my clothes on. Mom took this video of me splashing and laughing last night and I thought you might enjoy it.

Chase the Cat

When Will isn't playing with his toys, looking at books, pulling himself up to stand or climbing over toys, parents or anything in his way, he enjoys chasing the cats around the house. Although this probably is stressing the cats out, it is helping Will crawling and talk more. The clip is Will chasing Calvin on Sunday evening.

What A Difference A Year Makes

On Veteran's Day 2007 , Will was able to wear clothing for the first time. On Veteran's Day 2008 he was crawling. What a difference a year makes.

Eggs Anyone

Grace let Will play with some of her favorite toys while we were at Nana and Opa's house this weekend. If these were real eggs...we would have had a MESS!

Trying to sit

Here is a short clip of Will trying to sit up by himself.

Pictures from My Weekend

My mom was able to upload the pictures today for me. I hope you enjoy them.

My Weekend

It was pretty hot this weekend so mom and dad had things for me to do so I wouldn't get so hot. On Saturday, mom, Aunt Carmen and one of my babysitters Robin, took me to Nationwide Children's Hospital to visit some of my 'friends' that I hadn't seen in awhile. Mom was telling everyone how I was almost 25 inches now, how on the 21st I am going to get a 'button' to replace my g-tube and on the 23rd I get to go see Dr. Gest and all of my BPD Clinic friends for a check up and a developmental evaluation.

On Sunday, mom and dad took me to see my friends Chase and Mason because Chase got baptised. Mom said I was very talkative for Aunt Sarah when she was playing with me, but she said I almost feel asleep while Uncle Eric was holding me. Dad took the long way home, but I stayed awake the whole time until I finally fell asleep at 9:30pm last night.

Tonight dad fed me some rice cereal. Mom said I am getting much better at eating, because I haven't had to use my g-tube in over 3 weeks and I have been taking over 900 ml each day by bottle. I am also starting to "try" clapping, banging my hands on the table or whoever is holding me and I am much better at grabbing things. Aunt Carmen and Meredith taught me how to really grab hair. (For some reason mom always says thank you for that) I will try to add some pictures in a little bit so you can see some of my latest and greatest pictures!
