8 months! (+a haircut)

Oh wow...8 months old already!!  I really can't believe it.  Will is growing up so fast.  Just since last month, he's actually crawling (on all 4's and with purposeful movements), pulling up and most recently, trying to cruise from toy to toy standing up!

Will also got his FIRST haircut!  Momma didn't really want to, but his hair was OUT OF CONTROL!  So, we did and he's still a stinkin' cutie pie!  :)

Hair cut!

 He LOVES anything with a steering wheel!

 

Doing good so far!

 

And, not so happy...  

8 months!

 

Even though he wasn't feeling good, I was still able to snap a couple of shots!

 

The only smile I got.

 

Showing off my new 'do!

 

Cheese!

the park and the exploration of a leaf!

Park!!

Crawling right along!

Time for the tunnel!

Who you takin' pictures of, Momma?

Will explores the leaves!

Seeing the leaves!

Touching the leaves...

 and hearing the leaves - crunch crunch!

Smelling the leaves...

And of course, tasting the leaves!

Zoo!!

We took Will to the St. Louis Zoo for the first time this past weekend!  We had a great time - Will did GREAT!

Ready to roll!!

Watching the giraffes - one of the few exhibits he could see from his stroller.

This guy played "hide 'n' seek" with us!

The carousel - mom's favorite part of the day!!

"Exploring" the bright, shiny pole!

"Wwwwhhheeeeeeeee!"

 

Will's favorite exhibit - the penguins (they splashed around which he LOVED!)

Watching the porcupine!

Goats!

Will & Dad!

Our silly boy!!

7 months old!!

Time is seriously flying by WAY to fast!  Will is now 7 months old.  He's sitting up unassisted and he just started to do an actual CRAWL today!  He moves where he needs to go (usually in reverse) by scooting, but today he did a real crawl!  It was amazing to watch and I'm so happy that I was home with him to witness it!

He didn't really want to have his pictures taken today, so I didn't get much this month.  Here's what I was able to get!

My serious guy...

So silly!

Teeth!!

Pumpkin Pickin'

We decided to go pick out our pumpkin this weekend and take Will to the pumpkin patch for the first time!  It was a little cold and Will didn't get a full nap in before we left, but we had a good time!  We ended up with 2 big pumpkins to decorate!

The goats really liked the food - Will wasn't sure what to think of them!

So nosy!

Farmer Will!

He loved the corn!

Mom & Will

1st tractor ride!  He loved looking at the tractor!

Oatmeal

Well, the messy fun has begun!  We've started giving Will food!  We're not doing mashed up, mushy food - just regular ol' food!  This was his first time with oatmeal.  He didn't eat much, but seemed to have fun playing in it!

6 months old!

Wow - it's SO hard to believe that our guy is 6 months old already!!  That's 1/2 a year!!  :)  He had an excellent check up at the Dr and is now 18 lbs (50 %tile) and 27.75 in long (75 %tile!).  Looks like our guy might be tall and skinny!

Here he is on game day, sporting his Mizzou gear!  Go Tigers!

Look at me - sitting up ALL BY MYSELF!  :)

Holding on to Dad standing up!

Mr. Serious

This is 1 happy kiddo!!

5 months now!

5 months!  Whew...how time is flying by!  Will has learned so much since I last posted.  He found his feet and his favorite time to chew on them is during a diaper change.  He LOVES to sit but still needs a little assistance.  He rolls both ways with no problem now and will scoot himself around the floor!

The sound that accompanies this face is "squeeeeeeeee"!

Rockin' the old school diaper (with pins) to air out our little tush a bit. :)

My boy - happy as can be!

The tongue - I think he's realized he has one and that he can stick it out and make mommy laugh!

Finally got a shot of the tongue all the way out - he's a quick little bugger!
