William keeps growing and growing and now he’s moving and moving too!  At his doctor’s appointment he was 30.25″ and 22lbs 12 oz.  He’s walking, climbing, and kicking.  The climbing has been a bit of a problem.  He likes to climb onto things like the couch, our bed, Nathan’s bed, etc and then has a tendency to fall off of them.  He can get down properly when he is thinking about it but the problem is sitting too close to the edge and then falling off backwards.  Luckily either David or myself has always been there to intervene before he hits the floor but at the rate he’s going, I fear it may only be a matter of time before he eventually tumbles off something!

William is such a delightful little guy.  His smile and personality brighten the room.  He also loves his big brother to pieces.  Whatever Nathan is doing, William wants to be doing it too.  Nathan loves William too and asks for him whenever he is taking a nap or if he goes to bed early.  Brotherly love is such a special thing watch blossom and seeing this relationship develop has been extra special to me.  It’s such a gift to have a sibling to grow up with and I am so happy William and Nathan get to experience it.

We celebrated William’s birthday at Grandpa’s house and this time Greg (my 1/2 brother) was in town visiting from Arizona, which made the whole evening all the more fun.  Grandpa cooked dinner on the grill and made his amazing mashed potatoes.   The kids were all smiles and having such a great time.  The whole night was so much fun!
