The Stance
As William is better able to balance himself he has developed a cute little "stance." It's his resting position and from here he usually goes full speed into a crawl. Sometimes he balances both knees too. The one knee down and one foot up is the usual though. He looks like a little football player taking a knee. Maybe one day soon he'll go from the stance to standing up!

Look Ma! No hands!
William has been caught standing by himself several times. He lowers himself gently to the ground once he notices he's standing. He's walking along objects he can hold onto - the edge of the tub he goes from one end to the other or the ottoman in our family room. When will he walk? He hasn't pushed the limits though of stepping without support. Crawling seems like a great mode of transportation at the moment.
The standing or supported walking happens so quickly it's hard to get a video or picture of him, but I caught this one over the past weekend when we were at the beach. For some reason the way he has his hands I hear "La Cucaracha" in the background... ha! I'll try to get a video of him walking along the tub or ottoman later!

Happy Halloween!
William's first Halloween was so much fun!
We celebrated lots of Halloween festivities over the past week. From visiting the pumpkin patch (yes, for the third time!) with friends to the Halloween party in our neighborhood to the actual day of trick or treating. Not so much trick or treating, but sporting our costume around town.
On Halloween we stopped by Rollins to visit my old co-workers and their dressed up kids. Then we went over to the Crofoot's neighborhood so all the kiddies could get together and we wrapped up the evening in Baldwin Park visiting family. Our lion did a pretty great job dressed up! He was happy all night in his costume.
