How could it be that so much time has gone by? I’m so amazed by the fact that William grows up and changes before our eyes. The topic of memory, what he learns and retains at this age (and other ages) has always been one that’s fascinating to me.

William is Nine Months Old
Today in honor of William’s 9 month birthday, I did something I have rarely done, attempted a month shoot on the actual day he attained that many months. Matt warned me that he thought William wasn’t in the mood for it, yet I went ahead to try to take some pictures.
Playing With His Food
Candy mentioned that William should really be enjoying his Gerber Puff cereal, both in terms of texture and flavor. The few times we’ve given it to him he wasn’t a huge fan, however, I decided to let him have another try with them.
A Toy To Encourage Walking
One of the best parts about having William go to daycare is how many different experiences he can have there. Mirabel has a house full of toys for young kids of all ages. When she asked me if she should try a baby walker with him, I of course said OK, eager to see how he would do with it.
Countdown to William’s First Birthday
Ever since I put a date tracker on my phone, I’ve been looking forward to this day. William is exactly 100 days away from his first birthday. Though I have many, many photos of him, I used this one, of him looking at Candy at only a few weeks old with a look of intelligence and perhaps a little contemplation in his eyes.
William is Thirty-Six Weeks
One of the questions I get most often about William is how he’s sleeping, in particular if he’s sleeping through the night. Sometimes he does, sometimes he does not. When he doesn’t it’s mostly just one wake up, which really isn’t that bad at all. Matt, William and I all enjoy that he’s able to get more uninterrupted sleep overall.
Two Infants in Church Nursery
One of the best parts of talking William to the nursery in church is that there is usually at least one other child to play with him. Today in service a mom and dad were there with their three kids, two of whom went to children’s ministry classes and one of whom was a baby in a stroller. At one point the baby was crying and would not stop and I remember thinking how cool it would be if they found their way over the nursery. To my delight, when I went to pick up William, it turns out they had indeed found the nursery.
