Well, you take 12 days off, and stuff happens.

William crawls now, and he’s become a cruiser. In fact, William crawled his first crawl the day after my last post. As a result, our livingroom is much more babyproof (and clean) than it had been in a long while. He laughs a lot more now than he did before - sometimes he starts up on this maniacal trilling laugh that gets me going. He really likes reading books with his parents, and rarely tries to eat them before they’re done - his favorite book is the Polar Hide and Seek book - he likes the whale page the best.

So, William is keeping us busy and entertained lately. With Halloween coming up soon, we’re trying to come up with a good costume idea for him. He’ll probably only visit two houses, but it’s the principle of the thing.

Oh, and hockey season started up, which is always a good thing. Montreal is even leading the league for the time being…
