What I love - Month 19

1. I love when Z lifts his feet to "help" me with putting on his shoes. I love that he is wearing big boy shoes with velcro and shoestrings.
2. I love watching him put coins in his piggy bank.
3. I love that he first blew bubbles in the bathtub this month.
4. I love watching Z and his dad do the mickey mouse "hot dog" dance every morning before work/school.
5. I love that when we are blowing bubbles and he wants to be the the one to blow he holds the wand up to his mouth and instead of blowing, he says the word "bubbles".
6. I love that he loves to play with his golf club set the Easter bunny brought him. It excites me to think about all the fun things he and his dad are going to do together as he gets older.
7. I love that he loves to look at bugs, especially june bugs, and he lays down on the ground to get as close as possible to watch them move.
8. I love that when we tell him "no" he scrunches up his little nose and makes an "o" shape with his mouth like you just really hurt his feelings.
9. I love when when you are holding him and he lays his head on your shoulder and pats you on the back with his little hand.

What makes little boys so great!


Z loves to check out bugs! We
are practicing just "looking" and
not "touching"
Cool new shoes

Sick Day

Poor Z had to stay home from school
one day this week because he caught
the stomach flu.
He looks pretty sick, doesn't he?

Okay, this one kinda counts.

What I love - Month 18

1. I love that he pants when he sees a picture of a dog.
2. I love that he says "bye bye" and waves when its time to go to bed.
3. I love to watch him carry Monkey Man, Elmo and blankie around at the same time.
4. I love that sometimes we have to watch Elmo in Grouchland four and five times a day.
5. I love helping Z wash his hands and actually using soap.
6. I love that he slept past 6:30am for an entire week in a row!
7. I love watching Z learn to drink from the water fountain at school. He scoots the foot stool up to the fountain and sticks his whole face in the water.
8. I love watching him dance. His move is he stomps one foot, claps, and then slaps his knee.

What Z has learned from mom....

While Z is his father's child in most ways,
the one thing he has learned from his mom
is how to perform the perfect pout!

The MOST traumatic event EVER!

Z just turned 18 months old and there was little
arguement that he finally needed a haircut. So Max made
an appt for Saturday morning.
But had we known what we were in for.....

The calm before the storm....


He screamed bloody murder the entire time

Once it was over, it was like it never happened.


But isn't he cute?

2. I love the way he thinks its funny to throw own diaper in the trash.
3. I love the way he smells after a bath and he's in his pajamas.
4. I love that when he really wants something he stomps both of his feet.
5. I love that when he is watching tv he comes and stands between my legs while I am sitting down and then hangs there.
6.I love the way he lays on top of monkey man at nap time.
7. I love the way he thinks its hilarious to play "tunnel" between my legs while I am standing.
9. I love that he has learned the motions to "The Wheels on the Bus". "Move on back" is his favoriate part.
10. I love that he walks himself out to the car and around to "his" door in the mornings on our way to school.
11. I love that he can turn on the water in the sink and he dips his toothbrush under the running water, just like mom and dad.

What I love - Month 16

1. I love watching him dance along with his Elmo "live" doll.
2. I love the way he squats down and puts his hand on his knees, just like a big kid.
3. I love that he is becoming increasingly vocal this month and am amazed at how quickly he picks up words. I love hearing him say "ball", "up", "hot", "all done", "elmo" and "uh oh".
4. I love that when he gives kisses he makes a really loud "Moah!" sound.
5. I love that he kisses Mollie and Macy.
6. I love when he wants to eat goldfish crackers he smacks his lips.
7. I love when he points to the computer and says "elmo" because he wants to look at the Seasame Street website.
8. I love that when he sees a picture of a lion or bear he growls. He also growls when he sees Oscar the Grouch.

Kisses

Nothing is sweeter than when your child
figures out how to kiss you. This is both
Max and I's favorite thing at the moment.
