11 months

11 months! 1 month from a year and no more monthly updates! i may say this every time, but this has been my favorite month in the life of william.

he's so much fun to play with. his favorite activities are reading flap books, stacking blocks, pushing anything that has wheels, balls, tickles from dad, if he's lucky an elmo clip, and food.

this month he also had 3 top teeth come in. and the biggest accomplishment - crawling! he's slowly mastering the army crawl and can get himself around quite well, i'm sure hands and knees aren't too far behind.

 and my favorite are his 'bye-bye's'. he also says 'hello' by sticking out this tongue. he's also a champion sleeper. 12 hours at night and 2 solid naps of 1-2 hours each. of course zebra must be present at all 'night-nights', but when it's not sleeping time he gets thrown to the floor.

we love you william!

happy halloween

william has absolutely no concept of what halloween is - but that doesn't stop me from dressing him up!

he is either a dragon or a dinosaur depending on who you ask.

we spent the evening answering the door for tricker treaters. william liked picking up the candy and dropping it on the floor, of course.


for me it was a new experience seeing how halloween works in new york. if you wanted tricker treaters you put a sign on your door and all the buildings in our neighborhood sent out a list of the apartments participating.

we ran out of candy so i'd say it was a successful night! happy halloween!
