All Growed Up
Apparently Zane decided that this was the week for milestones. He started it off showing a little top tooth progress (he’s practicing biting a hunk of baguette above). Then a couple days ago Faith called the office and told me that he had just crawled on hands and knees for the first time. Wednesday night he was pointing at his Monkey, which JJ says is an important milestone and I don’t recall him doing it so explicitly before. And then finally last night while crawling around the family room (some on belly, some on hands and knees), he scooted over to the couch where I was sitting and stood right up.
Let me repeat that: He Stood Up.
Sure, there was a little twisting and jockeying of feet and legs, but the end result is that he went from crawling to sitting to standing in less than a minute. Faith was dubious so he performed the trick for her in even less time.
Two more weeks until his first birthday, will he be walking by then?
These milestones are stacking up. He did the pull up trick today during play time in the family room. He was holding onto a book case playing with a bulbous frog that hitherto had been un-noticed and out of reach. He picked it up and dropped it over and over again. (It makes a ribbit sound.)
Notice the huge variety of interesting objects from Zane’s very own cupboard. The wooden spoon are new since all of ours seemed to have jagged edges from where the blender had bitten them. The plastic spoon is from Aunt Heather (but that size is just a bit big for Z’s normal eating activity right now. We’re using the small size that she sent). The ice cube maker is from Aunt JJ. (Our freezer has an icemaker in it now and i was going to get rid of those. BUT, what a great color and a great flap where the water gets poured in. I suppose, someday, we can make frozen fruit cubes with them too).
