At least Once a Day

This is a daily activity for William

Willbo

So we just got done with William's 9 month check up at the doctors office. No shots today! woohoo!

I just wanted to jot down a few things on here, so I can always look them up later.

Today he weighed 19lb 5.7 oz. ( I use vitamin D study for the side info...if you're wondering) His height is 71.5 cm. His head is 47 cm.

So that weight puts him in the 25th percentile for his age. At birth he was in the 80th percentile.

His height puts him in the 40th percentile for his age.

His head is at almost 90th percentile. It's cool, he has a big brain. He'll be smart like his mommy :)

For his weight for length he's 50 percentile, so perfect.

9 Months

He's officially been out of the womb longer than he was in!

William turned 9 months on June 12th!

We've had a busy month so far. We went to Utah as my last post states to welcome Henry into the world. Then on a last minute invite William and I went to the Pizza Ranch summer meetings in The Wisconsin Dells. My parents were already going to be there to baby sit my nephew Samuel (Jeremy and Hilary's son.) It was a lot of fun, and it was me and my manager Sophia, her brother Mic and her son James who is 5 months. William and James loved each other! William likes to pull hair though, and James didn't care at first, then realized it hurt.

Ok so back to the 9 months. Here are some fun facts:

- Height and Weight will come next week at his Vitamin D appointment. Which means after this next one, as far as they are concerned I could start William on Formula if I chose. I plan to keep breastfeeding to at least a year old. He will have one more appointment after this, in September!

- Still no teeth

-Wears a 6-9 months or 9 months

-Has a big head and certain shirts won't fit over his

- Wears a size 3 diaper, but Target brand runs small so he should be in their 4's

-Is so close to crawling! He has army crawled a few times, but still prefers rolling

-Tries to lift himself up on the couch, but only gets to his knees

-Has gone from laying down to sitting up on his own a few times

-Dada is heard a million times a day, more in sound than actually to Scott

-Loves to self feed, which is awesome with baby snacks, not with random cruddies from the floor

-Still nurses multiple times a day

-Doesn't sleep through the night yet, but usually only wakes 2 times and goes right back to sleep

-Likes to yell back when he hears other kids yelling, or laughs when someone else does

-Likes to "sing" along with radio in the car

-Is busy trying to pull cords and touch things (like the cable receiver) he's not supposed to

-Loves the lake and splashing in the water, in either some one's arms or his new floaty.

-Tries to drink the lake water by lapping it up like a dog

-Has the worlds cutest smile :)

-Cries when people leave the room even if it's into the kitchen that is connected

-Throws fits when something is taken away from him...a toy, cell phone, or remote

He quite certainly has a little personality of his own now. It's been amazing watching him grown and learn new things constantly. Overall he's an awesome little man!

Utah

William and I just got back from a trip to Salt Lake City Utah. (ok well the area at least)
So I'll share our trip with pictures. We traveled along with my parents.

William and Grandma in Cabellas...doing the Western Theme

He did such a good job being in the car a lot this trip!

The first night we stopped over in Laramie, Wyoming. Which happens to be the place where a friend from grade school lives! Luckily I was face booking from my phone and she was paying attention! I haven't seen her since 3rd grade! Jenilee and her son Wesley walked over early in the morning to visit!

The view in the Looooong state of Wyoming...

It made Will bored... :)

We stopped in Little America, Wyoming on the 2nd day to eat lunch. William got a bread stick cracker.

Finally in Utah! We went to Costco where they had double carts. William is sitting with buddy and cousin Patrick! They were fast friends.

Patrick got a tent from Ikea and the kids loved it! Patrick was amazing at getting William to laugh!

A trip to Antelope Island

The whole reason we came! Henry Jon was born on May 26th to Patrick's parents Brandon and Wizzy!

Grandpa with his grandsons

My happy boy!

Over half way through the trip, and he was still doing well riding in his car seat a lot!

Patrick sleeping on the way back from meeting his new brother!

Look at that comb over!

Wizzy's mom, Chris gave William his first hair cut!

He did well, but wanted to see what she was doing with the scissors so he moved a lot. Even Keira(the dog) wanted to see what was going on!

All done!

Finished product! He looks good!

Trip to Olympic Park

Holding a torch in the Olympic Museum
Where the Nordic Skiers practice, they slide on plastic and jump into a pool! It was about 50 degrees this day

The view from the top of the real Nordic Jump. Very high up!

Trying to stay warm...at the top it was about 40 degrees

We had a ton of fun! But we're now glad to be home and back to Daddy, Dayzy, and Chayse. We do miss Patrick, his new little brother Henry, and Momma Wizzy and Daddy Brandon though!
