Things Willem Enjoys (15 months old)

Willem loves his fruit! Especially grapes and blueberries. Paw Paw taught him how to take grapes off the vine and Willem is very proud of this new trick!

Willem "The Pacifier Hunter": Willem throws his pacifiers out of the crib at the end of his naps and if I forget to put them back in the crib right away, Willem notices and as soon as he's down on the ground he's hunting for pacifiers. They usually bounce under the crib, so he lifts up the skirt and crawls under looking for them. He has this mischievous look on his face the whole time because he knows Paci's are only for sleeping. I just sit back and pretend to not be noticing. He'll collect them all up and then wait for me to notice so he can proudly show me his winnings. Then I pick him up and he throws each of them into the crib and claps.

Willem "The Budding Chef": Willem loves being in the kitchen. He enjoys opening all the drawers and re-arranging. When we first moved in we gave him the two bottom drawers full of towels and tubberware. But he has grown so much that he can now reach the top drawer! Two weeks ago Jason and I were in the living room cleaning up and suddenly the house was quiet.... We walked into the kitchen and this is what we found. We laughed so hard and couldn't grab the camera quick enough. A few days later we finished babyproofing the kitchen. Willem isn't really appreciating our efforts at this point though, he is still checking everyday to see if he can play with his old toys.
