Since turning six months old on August 24, Will has been very busy learning to eat baby food, to sit up and play, to roll across the floor, and to sing the "Da-Da, Da-Da, Da-Da" song all day. At his six-month check-up, he measured 27 inches and weighed 19 lbs 8 oz. He has two bottom teeth with a top one on its way.
We enjoyed a wonderful beach vacation to Corolla, NC in September. This was our third year taking this trip with two other families. Ellen had no fear of sand and very little timidity with the ocean waves. Will, of course, could not be trusted on the beach, his hands eager to grab a fist of sand to shove in his mouth. Although we were "red-flagged" from swimming in the ocean, we had beautiful sunny days to play on the beach and fly our kites.
