Will has decided to take up the kazoo! I can't even play the thing and if I finally get a sound out of it, I get light-headed. I wonder if they have a place for the kazoo in marching band or maybe he has a future in a washtub band! Take a peek at his first performance in the video below!

First Haircut!
Since Will was starting to sport a baby mullet, we decided it was time for a trim. On Wednesday night Grandma Peterson (a.k.a. Rock-a-bye Grandma) gave Will his first haircut. She just took a little bit off the back of his head and above his ears. I don't think Will even knew what was going on. Good thing Grandma has quick scissor hands! He's looking good now - no more hair hanging over his collar or 80's mullet

Double Digits!
Tomorrow Will will be 10-months old -- oh my goodness, double digits already! As my good friend, Sarah, told me today Will is starting to lose that baby look. He has turned into quite the "big boy" around here. He has recently been working on using a sippy cup. The first trial was more like "Hey, look at this new percussion instrument I can hold with two hands and bang on my highchair. The harder I hit it, the louder the noise I can make!" I'm glad to report that things are going much better now. We started putting juice in the cup and he really likes that. Sometimes he gets interested in the texture found on the bottom of the cup (thank you whomever invented the valve that keeps it from leaking)! He still has trouble getting it tipped far enough back to get the juice out. Tonight he used his problem solving skills and laid right back in my lap so he could get the juice to flow to the spout (see photo below). He continues to jabber a lot. There are times when we think he's really chewing us out about something - it is funny. He still isn't too interested in learning to crawl, but we are seeing some improvement. He seems to be motivated to move towards Sadie's (our dog) toys.

He tried to pull her hair, but it isn't long enough yet.
