21 months

will is getting so big...and losing all of his cute baby rolls! i totally miss his chunky little butt! now when i look at him, i see this big boy that loves to do everything all by himself! he is SO independent! he loves to open and shut things all by himself, put things away, put on his shoes...basically he tries to figure out everything! he spent 10 minutes one morning opening a yogurt...it almost killed me! he would NOT let me help him! but he was one proud boy when he finally got it open!

he is definitely my little man...he loves to give me lots of hugs and kisses! he has started doing this funny thing where he will be busy playing and all of the sudden he will come running to find me. once found, he will give me a little pat or a real quick hug and then take off running back to whatever he was doing.
i guess he just needs to know i'm still there.

will has taken an interest in the whole potty-training thing. every once in a while he will give me a grunt and point to the bathroom. 
he LOVES to sit on the toilet...for like 20 minutes! 
he just sits there with this goofy grin and then he puts his arms out...this means "all done". he does try to say it! it kind of-sort of sounds like it!
he goes about half the time! but sure...will wants to sit still...sound good to me!

will decided to climb out of his crib again...
so on august 31st, we moved him into the "toddler bed"! he LOVES being able to climb in and out all by himself! his bedtime routine goes like this...first we get milk (he pulls out the chocolate syrup every night and every night i have to tell him not at bedtime!), then we all line up to start our "binky hunting". we sing our silly "let's go bink-y hunt-ing" song as we go up the stairs collecting any binkies we see. kate loves this too! if i try to go up the stairs, she always says, "mom, sing the song!" we also tell the kitties "good night" on our way to will's room. once we get there, we look under the bed, the train table, and the dresser for any stray binks! then i ask if will wants a story...and he always shakes his head and tells me no! he is too busy climbing into his bed to arrange his stuff animals and then he snuggles into his pillow. i tell him i love him and he blows a kiss to me and waves nigh-night...
and then he is OUT
have i mentioned what a good little sleeper will is?? HE IS AWESOME! you wouldn't even know that he isn't in his crib! the only difference is what i find in the morning, lots of cars and books in his bed and on the floor! but i will take that any day...he plays in his room in the morning...its usually the "smell" that lets me know he's awake!

will's big boy bed!
so excited!! he is saying, "WOW!" underneath that bink!
kate had to get in on the action...
and then they got SILLY!
will spit out his bink...it was on!
shake it!
yes...he is shaking his booty!!

and this is how i found him after we had all left his room,
just hanging out in his bed
playing cars...
and totally happy.
