Zaden loves getting into everything he isn't supposed to. Some of his
favorites include, disconnecting the internet so that dad gets off the
computer, unplugging my laptop (this was especially a problem before I got my
new battery), getting into garbage cans, trying to unplug all cords, and
last but not least, my personal favorite, banging the cabinets of the fish tank while jabbering and crawling inside acting as if he is fixing the old broken filter.
This little guy is such a fast crawler. I can barely keep up with
him to keep him out of mischief. I’m in big trouble once he learns how to run. He
absolutely loves to pull himself up on to everything. I love watching him pull
himself up on the side of his crib in between nursing sessions. He lets go with
one hand and waves and gives me the biggest of grins. He has also mastered
climbing the stairs but hasn’t really grasped the concept of coming down (;
Zaden has 2 full grown bottom teeth and his 2 front teeth are slowly coming in. His left one is coming in a bit quicker as you may have noticed in the pictures above. I love his little smile and can’t believe he will most likely have at least 4 full grown teeth by his first birthday. He is growing up too fast.
Solids have been a bit of a struggle. I can tell he is interested but isn't
very patient with anything that isn't in liquid form. He will usually eat just
about anything but within 6 seconds spit it right out. As of late I have been
making him little baby shakes out of his Gerber baby food, almond milk, and
fresh fruits in order to supplement some extra calories into his diet since he
burns so much throughout the day. His favorite foods are honey bunches of oats
cereal, chocolate rice cakes, apples, and wheat bread.
Z loves to talk and knows a little bit of sign language. He knows how to
sign when he wants to nurse and he does the cutest little hand gesture when he wants
you to give him something. Zaden hates getting his diaper changed and getting
dressed. It’s a bit of a struggle but I’m sure this stage will get better once
he understands that I’m only trying to help him.
Zaden LOVES Curious George. He loves watching the TV show, listening to
books on tape, reading books, and his George stuffed animal. Whenever you start
making monkey noises at him his face lights up and he begins making similar
noises too. It’s the absolute cutest.
My favorite thing about Zaden at this age even though it is a bit frustrating
at times is how clingy he is. I love that he always wants to be with me and
that he will crawl over to wherever I am heading. I love hearing his little
pant before he turns the corner and sees me in the bathroom, I love that he
grabs onto my legs to raise himself up wanting to be held, I love that he tries
to make me laugh and then laughs with me. He is simply the best.
What a cutie you have! I love that both he and the sock monkey match the quilt.
