Willard is now fourteen months old and strong and well. He is the third in size, weighing twenty pounds as did Ida, but he is the most backward of the seven in teething, as he has but two teeth as yet. He is more forward than Mary was, as he creeps all about, while she did not creep at all. I have not weaned him yet, as he has his trial of teething nearly all before him, I shall not do so at present. (T.S.R. 47. 2 P.M. 50. S.S. 49.) Jan. 20. Sabbath.
