Happy Thanksgiving from the Sinkford clan! As you can see Will is into some cool new stuff, he can hand out in this cool chair that helps him sit up of his own. Will is also into going on walks in his backpack. Daddy loves the backpack, it is much more comfortable than the front carrier. Dinner was low key, just Geoff and Verity and us. It has been nice to escape the city and spend some time with family. I will get some more Thanksgiving photo's up soon.
The rat tail continues to grow almost as quickly as will himself. Will had his 4 month check up and is now 18 pounds, 27 inches! That is the 97th percentile.
A little update. Will is using his hands a ton. Grabbing just about everything. He can hold his own bottle and binky, although a little bit clumsily. Dad and son in PJ's and will in his first cycling cap given to us by good friends in new york Kevin and Amy.
Every day Will gets a little closer, I have a feeling it is going to happen within a few weeks if not sooner. In other news, the move went well and we are getting settled into our new home. It already feels more cozy than the Fillmore!
Little Will had a mellow Halloween helping his parents pack up for the move. He is super strong flinging boxes around left and right. No trick or treating this year for Will, but next year he'll be knocking on your door for sure.
Little William is a popular little guy. Many of our friends have come by to take a gander at him. Of course everyone, gets a snapshot taken. Will is almost crawling, grabbing at the ground and trying to pull himself along. Any time now he will figure it out. When that happens we are in trouble. Mobile Will is going to be terrifying! We can't wait.....
This last week has been a week of firsts for little Will. He held his own bottle and today he went to sleep in his baby gym all by himself. I don't know if that means he is just bored of the gym or of he is starting to learn to sleep when he is exausted. Katy and I hope he is learning to put himself down. Everyday he is becoming more aware of his surroundings. Such a wonderfull boy!
This week has been a busy one, The clan is moving to a new apartment. Grandma Verity and Aunt and Uncle Allison and Greg all stopped by to help out and say hello. The packing is getting there and katy and I are not getting stressed about the move.
Katy had her first full week back at work, and although tiring she handled it pretty well. Will and I spent all day today lifting boxes and moving furniture, he is really strong. I don't know how he managed the bookshelf and give me a foot rub at the same time. Truly an amazing little lad. Packing is the agenda for the weekend, hoping to get everything ready to rock for the move.
Katy and I Took a vacation up to the Trinity Alps a few weeks ago to unwind before Katy went back to work. We had a fantastic time up in the Alps hanging out with Will. He loved being outside and would stare up at trees and just giggle. Many times the three of us lay on the grass and just cracked up together. We really needed a break from the city and enjoyed every moment away. Katy is back at work now and Will is in daycare three days a week and hangs out with his dad Monday's and Friday's. I love getting to spend time with my little boy, and Katy gets home at 4, so afternoon family time is great!
