Big News!

For those of you who may not know, Will is an extremely laid-back baby. With this personality comes some great things. He is pretty patient, doesn't let much get to him, he entertains himself well, is easy to take on errands, and the list goes on. But, there is a slight downfall too. He is now 2 weeks away from turning 1 and just started crawling a month ago. But, this is big news for us. We were starting to get worried that he may need physical therapy. Instead, he just needed time to make up his mind to do it. He now speeds around the house and is getting into everything. He is starting to pull up some, but, again is not in any hurry to walk. He does walk holding onto furniture and our hands, but we have no expectations of him walking by his first birthday.
To those of you who don't have kids yet, this may not seem like much to worry about, but those moms out there know that, even though you say everyone develops at their own pace, you are secretly worried when your child falls behind your friend's children. Oh what we moms put ourselves through!!!
Here are a couple of pictures of Will in action.
The expression on his face here just makes me smile. He looks so cute when he raises up those little eyebrows!
When he was 10 months old, we started transitioning him to a cup. I'm a big believer in doing this earlier, as the older they get, the more attached they get to the bottle (this is just my opinion, no judgement for those who do this differently:). 2 days ago, we also started the transition from soy formula to real soy milk (he is VERY allergic to cow's milk!) and after spitting out much of the first cup with a confused look that I did not have a chance to catch on camera, he is starting to like it!

"I guess I'll try this stuff one more time."
"Hey, not too bad. I could get used to this stuff!"
Oh, and here is an example of the stuff that Will and Daddy like to do for laughs.
