My sweet William is 9 months old now! He is just pure joy! Josh and I frequently talk about what a gift he is, like a gift that keeps on giving. He is such a happy baby. I get more comments from friends and strangers about this. He is very friendly and always eager to smile at everyone. He has just started patting his brothers when they are near him. He is trying so hard to talk! He babbles and squeals, and we're convinced he says "hiya", "da", and "ma". He is a MONKEY! He tries to climb up whomever is holding him, and if there's something short enough to climb on at home, he'll try it. He crawls so fast, using one of his feet to propel him faster. He is so close to taking his first steps. He stands there thinking about it, but then just dives back down and crawls away. He loves to eat baby food and loves to nurse. He takes one bottle a day from daddy at night, but we are going to start the process of weaning him so I can have more energy to keep up with my four energetic boys! He is just so easy, happy, and playful. I know he'll fit right in with his brothers in due time. He is most attached to me, and covers me with the sweetest kisses when I pick him up. He will go to most anyone, although he sometimes gets separation anxiety. He dives for his Nana when she's around. He's been a bad sleeper most of his life, but he's starting to do better. He sleeps through the night 3/5 days. I think stopping night nursing is helping. I get many comments from people thinking he's a girl, because he's so pretty and has big blue eyes and white blonde hair. I also get comments on how entertaining he is to watch, since he's such a friendly wiggle worm. We are so thankful to God for putting this amazing boy in our family!
