Hi Sweet Baby Will!
Getting Good With Your Sippy Cup
It hasn’t been long since we started giving you a sippy cup, but lately you’ve been doing really well with it. You can even hold it by yourself. You’ve been doing great drinking from it too. You had been choking on the apple juice but you’ve been doing better lately.
Holding Your Bottle By Yourself
This evening, I made you a bottle and layed down with you in my bed like I usually do. As usual, you grabbed your soother and threw it aside. You usually are very happy to see the bottle and drink it until its gone …. and it usually doesn’t take you very long. This evening after a short drink, you pulled the bottle out of your mouth. I tried to give it to you several times, but you kept batting it away. You then grabbed it from me with two hands and put it in your mouth. You drank most of the bottle holding it by yourself.
Walking With One Hand On Your Toy Walker
You have a four wheeled walker with a shopping cart type handle. You like to hold on to it and push it around. Last night you were pushing it around with one hand while you carried your sippy cup in your other hand. Here’s a picture of you with your walker a couple weeks ago.
Walking Well When Holding Someone's Hands
Lately you’ve been walking very well if someone is holding your hands. You also stand up without holding on. You even stand up without holding on to anything. I’m sure you will be walking soon.
Love Playing With Cars
You have lots of fun playing with big cars. You sit down on the floor with your hand on a car and you run it back and forth and back and forth. Here you are with one of Emma’s old toys. You like this one a lot.
Daddy’s Boy
As I was writing this, a little after 10 PM, you woke up crying. I went upstairs to get you. I put your blankie on my shoulder and you snuggled your head on your blanket like you usually do. I took you downstairs and put you in Mommy’s arms on the couch while I went to make you a bottle. I then gave the bottle to Mommy to give to you and sat down on the couch. Mommy tried to give you the bottle, but you just stared at me with a sad look on your face. You were looking at me as if to say, what do you mean you’re not going to snuggle me and give me the bottle Daddy? Your sad face soon turned to crying and tears. So, I picked you up, snuggled you in my arms with your blankie and gave you your bottle. You stopped crying right away and drank your bottle. When you were done, I put you back to bed.
Sleeping Well …. Not Really
You haven’t been sleeping very well for a long while. I’d like to know why you wake up several times each night. You usually go to bed around 7 or 8. Some nights, like tonight, you wake up around 10. You’ll probably wake up crying at least one more time tonight too. Last night, you woke around midnight, then around 2, then around 4, and then around 530 or so and stayed awake then.
Its not very often that I can just pick you up, snuggle you for a minute and put you back to bed. We usually bring you in our bed. We usually make you a bottle and you drink it quickly, and then you go back to sleep in your bed.
There was a while when you were much younger that you were sleeping through the night. I hope you start sleeping through the night again soon. I’d be happy even if you only got up once through the night.
Crawling Down Steps To Sun Porch
The day after your birthday, I took some pictures of you crawling down the step into the sun porch at Nana’s and Grumpy’s. It was pretty impressive, but its old news since you’ve been crawling up and down the outside deck stairs.
Playing Guitar
When you got down in the sun porch, you started playing with your uncle Billy’s guitar. Well, you were more whacking it your hand than playing it. We won’t tell him … haha.
I love you sweet baby Will!
Daddy
