Zachary 9 months

Happy 9 months to my Zeke bear! Wow, life has not been the same since you have joined our family!

For one thing, you’re super mobile now. You like to sit up, and lean forward until you’re basically crawling. Then you complain about being your tummy! :D

We have to keep a very careful watch on you. You put everything in your mouth (though, thankfully you now have 8 teeth total). However, in the past month you’ve tried to eat a crayon, paper, halloween candy… and basically anything you could get your hands on. You’re so quick!

Speaking of food, you enjoy power curls, persimmons, and anything we’re having for dinner. You even love Thai food because once I got off the couch and left a bowl of pad Thai that was basically finished, and you helped yourself to the rest! Like I said, thank God you have teeth and can sit up without falling!

You continue to make your scrunchy face and you love to imitate us and laugh. Everything is a game with you, from back and forth throwing things off the floor, to laughing and repeating our behaviors. You and daddy love to make the open-mouth-close behavior in front of the mirror. 

You love your brothers, but you now know how to fight to get your toys. You can be pretty feisty! 

You are so hilarious! You know how to keep me close to your side, by complaining, grabbing, etc. And honestly, for the most part I personally can't complain! I love you so much. I love holding you, cuddling with you, and kissing your fuzzy peach head. The only thing is, you are hardly still enough for me to do that for long. Thankfully we cosleep so I get plenty of cuddle time with my sweet baby boy! I love you so much!!!

Zachary 8 months

 Happy 8 months to my sweet Zachary! 

This month you have really been clingy, which makes my heart warm because it shows you just want mommy (and daddy). You want to be held, and you don't like it when we leave you alone and walk away. You're so good at grabbing our shirts and not letting us go! You make us laugh! 

 You had your first Halloween with your brothers. You didn't love any of the costumes I put you in but you tolerated them. :) 

Sleep has been a little rough since you've been teething.You really know how to let out a cry these days. I feel so bad that your teeth are coming out and probably hurting so much! 

You also are good at imitating, making pucking sounds with your mouth or using your hands to make repeated sounds. You are such a playful baby!

Speaking of playfulness, you love bath time. Whenever you hear the water turn you start kicking your feet frantically and excitedly. We love you so much, Zachy bear. Happy 8 months!
