8 Months



 
Will has started moving this month! He is able to roll across the room, get himself on all fours and start rocking. Just tonight he was doing a bit of an army crawl. He has already managed to get into more things than Evy and Charlie ever did. He has pulled a wooden decoration off of Evy's wall, figured out how to open the drawers on Charlie's dresser, and knocked over our fireplace tools. He is sleeping through the night for the most part and drinking about 5 bottles per day. He really likes oatmeal and all of the pureed veggies and fruits we have offered. At daycare they say he is a very good baby and they can't believe how strong he is. Apparently he lifts and tosses many of the larger toys that they have in the nursery. People constantly say that he is huge. And he is. His 12 month clothes are nearly too small. He is our only child who has liked a pacifier. He loves to knock anything together that makes noise. This could be his hand on a table or a flashlight on a tile floor. He likes to clap. And he is the happiest clapper I've ever seen. Unfortunately, we are still dealing with ear infections and were at the pediatrician's office this week. He is on a round of oral antibiotics which will hopefully clear the double infection he's had for 11 days. He seems to have a constant cold that immediately goes to his ears. Poor little guy. He is unbelievably happy for how uncomfortable he must be. His sisters adore him and have been known to wipe his runny nose, sing to him when he is crying, and request to hold him when they are upset because "holding Will is the only thing that will make me feel better."
