I intended on writing you at nine months but that month seemed to fly by...just as the eight months before that! Will, you are truly the most precious little guy and I feel so blessed to be your mommy. You get a little more fun everyday. I wrote to you last at six months...and my how you have changed! You are all smiles these days and you think the simplest things are so funny-for example when Mommy talks on the phone. You are learning to eat so many new things ("real food") and I have yet to find anything that you don't like. You have tried, and loved: grapes, mandarin oranges, peaches, cheerios, puffs, cheese puffs, beef tips and rice, broccoli, cheese slices, grilled cheese, soft pretzels (our favorite treat when we go to the mall), eggs, peanut butter, graham crackers, goldfish, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, and you LOVE propel out of the bottle-mommy's bottle that is:) You are standing up but you haven't taken any steps yet...but you're getting close! Your "army crawl" has turned into a full blown crawl and sometimes you "run crawl"-as Daddy and I call it! Your favorite toy right now is the lid to a metal pot and your plastic balls that make noise when you shake them. You can't sleep without "puppy" in your hand. When I put you down at night, and hand you puppy you smile really big and pull puppy up to your face...it is so adorable! You go to sleep around 7:30 or 8:00 and you USUALLY wake up around 6:30....sometimes earlier! You are going to "moms day out" twice a week and your teacher is Mrs. Suni, who you love. She sends Mommy pictures of you riding in the buggy with the other children and you are always sleeping in the buggy:) You love looking at pictures and videos of yourself and you know the difference between a picture of you and a picture of another baby. When you see pictures on the wall of yourself, you get so excited and point saying "da!" You know how to say "daddy" and you get so excited when I tell you "daddy's home!" You call Cheney and Gus "ga" and "da" and you sure do love your doggies. Cheney and Gus are getting fatter by the day with all the food you feed them from your high chair. Your other favorite activity is pulling every book off the bookshelf in your room...this has become a 3-4 times a day activity for you! Wherever I take you, people comment on how beautiful your blue eyes are and how pretty your hair is. I have to confess that a lot of people think you are a girl and when I correct them, they tell me "he's too pretty to be a girl". You are truly the cutest little thing and I cannot imagine you being any more adorable! You have the amazing ability to be absolutely perfect whenever we are in public but you show your personality (loud crying) at home!
Daddy and I have sooo many nicknames for you, so bless your heart if you never know your real name! We call you Will bug and Will bean the most. Daddy calls you "Wilsonville" sometimes (not sure where he got that one!). I call you Angel Pie and Angel Love the most...but also Sugarbean, Precious, and Pumpkin:) At the doctor's office, you are around 75% in height, 50% in weight and 98% in head circumference (your head has to be big to hold your huge brain!). You don't mind going to the doctor and you only cry for a about a half a second after your shots...you're tough like your daddy!-not like your mommy who still hates shots. You have a total of four teeth-2 up top and 2 on bottom. Your top teeth were a booger and made you hurt and run fever so bad. I took you to the doctor because you ran fever of over 102-103 for 3 straight days and bless your heart, they checked you for everything known to man...only to determine that it was your teeth. I hope your next set is not near as evil as your top teeth were! You are already a little flirt because you love little girls, middle-age girls and older women! You smile immediately when you see a female...which means trouble for your sweet Mom one day:( You have adorably fat feet and thighs! I sing a made-up song to you at night and it includes the lyrics, "your big blue eyes and your super fat thighs". You've had a couple of injuries in the last two weeks with your little mouth, when you've fallen down and bit your lip. It always makes your little mouth bleed which makes me feel so bad. I have comes to grips with this is all part of you growing up, so I am doing a little better since the first fall! Your first trip to the beach is coming up and I cannot wait to see how you like the sand and water. If you like the beach half as much as you like the bathtub, then you are going to have one awesome time! You have three tiny bathing suits that I cannot wait to see you in either! The Easter bunny brought you 2 sand pails and a shovel to play with, so it should be fun times in the sand! I am absolutely loving each and every day with you and you truly do get more fun by the day. I want you to know that I have never regretted for a minute not going back to work and it's important to me that you know how much I treasure every second I have with you. You have brought more joy to our lives in your short time on this earth and I will never stop telling you how amazingly precious you are to us. I probably tell you 50+ times a day how much I love you and probably give you 100+ kisses to show you! I have to say that I cannot wait for the first reciprocated hug or kiss from you...it is going to melt your Mommy's heart!
I love you Will Bug and am so very proud to call you mine!
Love, Mommy
