Weaned and Walking Will

William is now weaned. He has gone to bed that last two nights without a bottle The first night he cried for a few minutes and when Greg went in to reassure him, it turned out that he had somehow fallen over and was stuck sideways against the side of his crib. Once Greg got him righted and settled down, off to dreamworld he went. Last night he whined when I left the room without giving him a bottle. The whining lasted a whole 10 seconds.

William is also officially a toddler now, toddling around on two legs. He is still quite unsteady. Yesterday he kept practicing and would walk about 2 feet. All day today he has been very slowly and very carefully making it nearly from one end of the room to the other. In the words of Greg, "It looks like Mommy is going to really have her hands full now."

Yesterday I did some cleaning, like washing some curtains and vacuuming behind things that never get vacuumed behind. I also decided it was time to go through some of the massive amounts of clothing that we have for the kids. Marcus is fitting very perfectly into his 18 months size clothes. So nicely that I am afraid that another half pound or half inch and he will not longer fit. We have a TON of 2T clothes so I dove into the two boxes and pulled out all the winter stuff. Then I was on a mission of moving some of the clothes that Marcus is nearly grown out of into William's side of the closet and took all the 12 month summer stuff that is on William's side of the closet into storage. This of course means that we will have a bizarre heat wave and despite the snow that is currently falling, next week it will be 85 degrees and I'll have to get the summer clothes out of storage.
