WD had been sleeping through the night regularly since he was about 2 months old (and yes - we understand how lucky we are). However, for whatever reasons WD has not been doing this for the past 2 weeks, even screaming for 45 minutes straight one night/morning. He did just cut his second front top tooth, and has been battling a cold, then add in that his mommy thought she'd start him on goats milk. I think this may not have been a great combo. We were able to get our for our first "date" last Saturday (11/22) afternoon when our great friends Betsy & Nick agreed to watch WD for a few hours. Dave and I ate out, and went bowling, and even got a couple errands run. It was nice, as we could have probably done all of these things with WD, but it would have taken longer, and we wouldn't have had to give him more attention.

WD had been on the couch with Nick, peaking up and over the back of it to play "peek-a-boo" with Betsy, when he decided to fall asleep standing up. He had slumped down some, but looked so cute they couldn't resist snapping a picture for us.

And WD has slept through the night for the past 5 nights - YEAH! Hopefully this won't jinx us.

9 month stats

William went in for his 9 month check-up and all was good.

Height 28 3/4" = 81%

Weight 20# 7oz = 72%

Head 18 1/8" = 92%

We got a cream for a rash under his arm that he's had for the past 3 months, and the doctor pointed out that his top front, right tooth had cut through (the first of his uppers).

Pain in the ---.

Poor WD had some irritated parts after his bout with the stomach flu. To give his tender parts a little breathing room, I let him run around for a while without a diaper. Needless to say - he loved it! It wasn't long before he took advantage of this time, and pooped on the carpet. I wonder if I've learned my lesson? I doubt it, it was way too cute (up until the poop part that is).

Cousin Caeden't visit

Cousin Caeden Jennings came to visit this past week from AZ. He came with his mommy (Autumn) and daddy (Warren), and we went to visit them at Grandma & Grandpa Kluver's house.

We got to play together and we liked to chase each other in our walkers, it made everybody laugh.




Here, his daddy (Warren) tries to take our pictures but as soon as we saw the camera we both scrambled to him and tried to get it! He never let us chew on it - darn it.







Here is Caeden's mommy (Autumn) holding both of us. You'd never guess that Caeden is 2 weeks younger than I, when he out weighs (and out eats) me...but I still managed to keep up with him.
