12 months

I can't believe it has been a YEAR!

Some of the days have gone S.L.O.W. Some fast.
Weeks the same.
Months seem to start and then next thing I know they are over.
This past year just flew by!!

We have really enjoyed having Zachary in our family.
He is full of so much energy.
We thought the days of bouncing him on the yoga ball and
not sleeping would never end.
But they have.
Zac sleeps 10 hours at night and gets two good naps in!

This past month has been so so fun!
I LOVE having Zac walking.
Ever since he was born he wanted to be
upright and looking outward.
And so having him be able to walk on his own,
no longer bending over to help him, is so SO nice.
He has been so happy and plays a lot better too!
He will just wonder around the house
finding things and bringing them to me.
Let's just say there are toys EVERYWHERE!

He is getting fast.
He has started running now.
And that is where we are getting worried. :)

Some other things about Zac at 12 months:
-He can say; ball, dog, mama, dada, weeeeee (on the swing),
and "mmmmm" (whenever he see's food he wants).
-He knows that he shouldn't open the toilet seat. So he will
stand by it and while staring at us try and open it.
Trouble maker.
-Toliet paper is also a favorite. He likes to shred it
into small tiny itsy-bitsy pieces.
-STILL OBSESSED with wheels. (Probably will never change.)
-Loves grapes and blueberries
He will carry them from the fridge to me so I can open them.
-Makes "vroom" noises while playing with his trucks.
-Loves the outside. He will cry when I make him come in.
-LOVES rolling his arms. (does it for both "paddy cake" and "wheels on the bus")
-Starts jumping (on his own) when music comes on.
-Holds the phone to his ear (more like back of his head) and talks.
-Brushes his hair with my hair brush.
-Talks all the time while playing. It is so cute!
-Blows bubbles in the bathtub & sucks up the water too!
-He will come jump on me while Lee tickles me.
-He HATES diaper changes. (Seriously the hardest/most dreaded part of my day!)
-He is supper strong (hence the diaper changing so hard).
The doctor is always amazed at his strength.
-Very tough. He has had a fair share of falls. And
He gets back up and keeps going.
-Copies everything we do. Coughing, laughing, etc.
-In the mornings will just play in his crib talking until I get him out.
-Can make the BEST faces. And sometimes the WORST!
-Has the cutest voice. Talks to me all the time.
-So cute.
-So fun.
-The best little boy ever!!
