Wild Man Willy!

What else can I say? The title explains it all. Our little angel, Prince William has turned into Wild Man Willy! As you can see from the video, after simply refusing to walk for what seemed like months, William is finally walking everywhere and is into everything! Over the past month, William would stand up, take a step or two, and start laughing so hard that he would finally just fall down. At first, we laughed at him and with him, but this reaction hindered his progress significantly. You see, instead of wanting to walk, William wanted to make us laugh so he would purposefully fall down!

In addition to becoming very mobile, William's vocabulary has dramatically improved over the last week. He can say, Dada, Mama, up, dadoo (interpretation - thank you), hot, hi (he loves talking on the phone), and of course NO! In addition, he has started to repeat animal noises he hears outside such as moo and baa. I am truly amazed at how quickly his vocabulary is developing.

William loves being outside and will grab your hand and lead you to the door in hopes that you will take him outside. He continues to adore his brothers and his dogs, as he will stand at the door, nose-to-nose on the screen with Tex and share various plans about their future explorations. William also loves music more than any baby I have ever known. He will dance to any kind of music, play the piano, and loves watching music videos with Daddy in the mornings.

At 13 1/2 months, our Wild Man Willy provides us with much entertainment and countless laughs! It is hard to believe that he is growing up so quickly.
