The Words of Will

Something my dad did for us kids was to keep a book of words (or more accurately noises) we made and more or less when we made them. To keep with the family tradition I want to do the same thing. So here goes.

I actually think Will's first word was the same as my first word, 'aboo'. Not sure what it meant for me or him, but there you go.

Other words:

- agoo
- abyss
- acar
- boop

I actually have video footage of him from yesterday saying 'aboo' :-)

I will periodically update this so I don't forget things Will says.

Update (late 2010):

More words of Will, as accurately depicted as possible:

- Oh David (honestly, that is exactly what it sounded like)
- Ewooow
- Ah ah
- Hurkeekoo

Update (February 2011):

- Baa baa baa baaa (spoken as if a Lord at the House of Lords)
- Dada

Update (Feburary 2012):

- Dad dad (all the time :-) )

- Acidic Boo (sounding like a Morta Kombat finishing move)

- Ninny (meaning music) has just evolved into Didic

- M (meaning milk - pronounced Ma) has just evolved into Mutt which I find funnier

Update (October 2012):

- The moon is following me
- Loot since late Spring/early Summer (meaning look)
- Holt since late Spring/early Summer (meaning Hulk)

Update (December 2012):

[On the way back from hospital very poorly with ear infection and tonisilitis]

W: 'Daddy are you happy ?'
D: 'Yes Will I am happy, I am very proud of you, you are such a good boy.'
W: 'Daddy are you my friend ?'
D: 'Yes Will, I am your friend, I am your daddy and I love you.'
W: 'We've got everything we need.'

- Stoody [we are not sure what this means but he usually calls daddy this] he has been saying this since ~ August September 2012

Life is hectic

Somehow though I found a way to get hold of Red Dead Redemption, which turns out to be a beautiful game, in terms of scenery, and pretty good in terms of story too. My evenings generally start when Will and Nicky have gone to bed these days, which is a bit too late in all honesty :-)

Will is keeping us busy. Still feeding like a monster, and shrieking when he does not get his way. He actually slept from 9 till 5:50 on Tuesday night, we were amazed. Quickly back to his usual patterns again though the next night.

We are looking forward to a little holiday in late September. It will be good to take Will down to Bournemouth and spend some time round the beautiful South Coast.

Our little was weighed at 14lb 3 oz at nine weeks, so is still gaining plenty of weight :-) He started grabbing things about a week ago, and shakes his rattle.

Will is almost two months old

It is amazing really how fast things are happening. I thought I had better keep a log of things to help me remember all that we would want to about this time in our lives.

First of all, the photos and movies are in the usual places, I keep them up to date a little bit more often than this blog.

So, on on to things I want to remember.

- rolling from front to back at nine days old, I think he could have done it younger but I was too worried as a brand new parent to put him on his front :-)
- first smile on camera at six weeks old exactly, he had smiled before but it is difficult to catch
- at six weeks old Will was 12 lb 1 oz
- at seven and a bit weeks Will has started trying to talk to us quite often, he had made noises at us before but we did not think he was deliberately responding

All of this is great, but Nicky is still definitely having a hard time, he still wants to feed hourly, and fights sleep all day long when he really could do with getting a bit more.
