Don't Mess with Will's Food

So apparently I don't feed my son. Will's 9-month stats
Height: 28 3/4 in 45%
Weight: 20 lbs 5 oz 50%
Head Circumference: 46.6 85%

So in 3 months he dropped from 90% to 45%! Well he's doctors not concerned so I guess I shouldn't be either. Maybe it's because he started crawling? Anyways, I had an interview with the Bishop that night (for a calling I only sort of had for 4 days) and he asked how Will was. I told him how he was shrinking he looked at me and said very serious like, "Well he's still special" I completely agree! I love our bishop. Anyways here's some videos to show how passionate our little man is about his food.

I love videos because then I don't have to type as much! Anyways I was eating an apple one night and Will started grunting (That's how he "asks" for things) anyways once he decides he wants something its a one track mind until he either gets it or it disappears. (Yay for no object permanence!) So that night he actually ended up with my apple.

One night when I was cooking dinner Will reached over and grabbed a jalapeƱo that was sitting on the counter. I thought well if he really wants it let him have it. To my surprise he actually enjoyed it. It was so funny we had to recreate it when Danny got home. Sorry it's so dark, I dislike daylight savings it's like pitch black when Danny gets home :(
Another instant of Will demanding my food. We were eating dinner when Will decided he didn't want his food he wanted mine. So I gave him a few noodles to keep him occupied while we ate. To our surprise this little guy already knows how to slurp noodles. The video is a little long because I was too lazy to figure out how to cut it as Danny suggests on the video. Sorry, but at least Will is cute.

Ok, so I finally got a calling... well sort of. On Wednesday I met with our Bishop and got called to the Activities committee. Well on Saturday during the World Wide Leadership meeting it was announced that there will no longer be an activities committee. So today at church they did callings and releases and I didn't get called. After, church the bishop asked me to still coordinate the monthly dinners at his house as an assignment and that they would prayerfully consider another calling for me. I was so close to having a real calling! oh well :(

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween! So here's our family costume pic. For those who haven't seen How to Train Your Dragon. Will is a dragon oh I mean a fearsome Night fury named Toothless. Me and Danny are dragon hunters named Hiccup and Astrid.

Danny & Will at Trunk-or-Treat. Our candy last about 45 second! oh well Will was teething so we went home pretty early.


The whole fam at Trunk-or-Treat.
My favorite thing happened at Trunk-or-Treat though a six yr. old boy said, "ya know what?... You guys look like How to Train your Dragon" Success!!! oh and then he added "Mom look at the baby Toothless" This kid knows his stuff.

Note the broken tail we're into the details here
On the move

I love this face!

Danny entertaining us with a puppet show. I'm actually not sure if the ax or shield won.
Mischievous lil' dragon
This is how sad Will is when we take off his wings! He loves his costume that much.

jk he was tired and thus why we were taking off the wings
