1 year old

William is one year old!  This past year flew by!  While I can't believe it's already been a year, it also seems like William has been a part of our family forever.  He has grown and changed so much, and over the past month he has become much more like a little person.  This past month he started to furniture cruise regularly.  He can make his way around the table, and can go from the coffee table to the sofa and back.  At the beginning of the month he finally started crawling on his knees some, and by halfway through the month he had abandoned his former worm crawl.  He copies everything we say or do, even if he doesn't know what it means.  He points to everything, and later in the month started to understand what pointing means.  He now points to food and says more to let us know what he wants to eat.  William loves to wave bye bye and knows how to whistle!  He says several words now: more, no no, that ("doh-ah"), quack, mmmm good, ball, palla ("pabba" -ball in italian), turtle, and acqua ("ka ka").  At the very end of the month, he started wanting to climb the stairs all the time, but doesn't understand how to get back down.  William likes most food, but not quite as much as his sister did.  He seems to favor meats and fruit and isn't a huge fan of many vegetables and sweets.
