Yep. He is officially walking. He still crawls more than walks, but he is quickly favoring walking over his "slow-paced" crawl!

In addition to turning 11 months old (egads!), here is what else Will has been up to ...

Celebrating his first Thanksgiving...

(posing with cousin Kate)

(eating with Grandma & Grandpa)

(and helping Grandma cook)

Celebrating Cousin Kate's 6th Birthday...

(The birthday girl)

(Anna Banana!)

Meeting little baby Cate for the first time...

And "helping" Mommy start to decorate with Christmas decorations.

And, although I don't have a picture of it, Will also gave Mommy one of the most precious life experiences I have ever had. I went out of town this past weekend and, when I came home and Will saw me for the first time, Will put aside his juice bottle, smiled big, and reached up for me. When I picked him up, he squeezed me hard in a big bear hug. Its the first time he has ever really hugged me like that. Then, he pulled away for a second to look at me, smiled huge, and then went back to giving me another big squeeze. Definitely the best part of the whole trip! I might burst into tears the first time he gives me a kiss or ... when he says "I love you, Mommy?" Ah! I don't know what I'll do!!
