Happy Birthday Dwight

This blog will be a project for me to keep up with- and I'm not making any promises, but I'll give it a try. Billy has several grandparents out of town, and this will be a nice way for all of you to keep up with your sweet grandson. Aunt Ruthie has a blog about her adventures in Prague, and I've really enjoyed keeping up on her life through the postings she writes. Our blog will likely be slightly less interesting, so I'll compensate by adding adorable pictures of Billy, (worth much more than a thousand words!) Tomorrow is Grandpa Dwight's birthday, and this can hopefully be a gift that keeps on giving, a way to see more pictures and hear more stories about little Bill and our new little family.

Just a few days and Billy will be 9 months old!! He's grown up so much and is constantly amazing us. This week he is just barely starting to crawl. He can make one or two crawl moves before falling down to his belly. And he's also starting to try to pull up onto the couch, and the railing of his crib. It was just last week that the doctor was asking me about these developemental "milestones" and I was saying that he wasn't quite there yet. But I think he'll make it just in time for his 9 month birthday, he just doesn't want to be rushed. I don't really want to rush him either... I know that we're really in for it now!! He'll be in to everything, and aside from that it's just one step further away from being my sweet babe in arms. I cherish the moments pictured above, knowing they won't last forever. But what a blessing those moments are!!
