Will the Magician?

It's hard to believe that Will is seven months old now. Where did the time go? To update from the last blog entry, Will still hasn't started clapping his own hands, although he does have "High Five" down pretty well. The second bottom tooth came in about a week ago and we suspect there is more movement somewhere given the amount of drool and chewing.

Will is a bouncing machine. Whether it's in his exersaucer or while you hold him on your lap, it's pretty likely that he'll want to bounce. He's better about being on his stomach, which used to be something he disliked very much. Now the frustration is that he can't go anywhere. He's certainly trying though. The knees are more underneath him than ever before and he tried rocking back and forth. We know that we may have a crawler on our hand soon, so the final babyproof considerations are being made.

An empty Kleenex box is possibly Will's favorite toy. Sometimes it's a drum, sometimes it's good for dumping stuff out of...




Eventually he'll dump or take everything out of the box. He hasn't quite gotten putting things into the box, so that normally falls to Mommy or Daddy to take care of.





Occasionally he'll get lucky dropping items in the hole, although the real trick comes when he pulls a rabbit out of the box...

All that magic work can be exhausting. Sometimes kicking back and grabbing wineglass is exactly what you need.

Before anybody asks, that's spilt water from the sipping cup and drool down the front of his shirt. :)
