She's doing this professionally now, and I love her style because it's all candids. She captures Will in such a genuine way. Thanks for the pictures Erin!! Love them!

We got a good video of Will walking today. He's a little shaky on his feet, but still taking quite a few steps! Billy tempted Will with favorite ($1.99) toy, the bouncy ball.

Here's another video of Will walking behind his push toy. He's improving steadily! He falls in the video, but doesn't mind at all. I really hate hearing myself in these videos. Remind me not to talk next video.

Here's a fun video of Will playing with the lid of a box, playing peek-a-boo and standing up a bunch. Such a happy baby!

Will has learned how to walk behind his push/ride toy. He's very proud of himself. I love when he gets so excited he has to stop and shake the toy.

Will Playing

Here are some cute pics of Will playing in the last week or two. Eight months is my favorite age! He's so expressive and loud and fun! Check out those teeth...his top front teeth came in (painfully) this month. We have some other video clips we'll post soon.

Look at that tough cowboy! 

Will is a good cabin baby as Bill Hoskins stated (proudly). We spent the weekend at the cabin in Mayslick with the Hoskins grandparents, Uncle Kevin & Uncle Chris and even Great Uncle Bill who had just arrived from Vermont. Anne took Will to visit his Great Grandparents. Muv & Granda got to spend some quality time with Will and it looks like they really enjoyed hanging out with him. I don't know what kind of words of wisdom they imparted on Will, but he was so inspired that he stood up for the first time that night. I love the look of pride in his face.

We got a cute video of Will crawling across the yard at the cabin this weekend. His crawl has evolved over the last few weeks from a two knee crawl, a one knee/one foot crawl, and now to this two foot side-walking crab crawl. He pulls to the left a little, so we'll be working on his alignment.

Standing!

At the cabin this weekend, Will went from sitting to standing without holding on to anything. He's playing around with the idea of standing for longer periods of time, but no steps yet! I'll be posting more pictures from our fun weekend at the cabin. Stay tuned!
