Zane is now 19 months old! He is as busy as can be, but still sweet and fun to be around. He loves nursery but is a pain in Sacrament meeting. Kevin is in the hall with him half the time. Fun times at church, that's for sure.
To say that he is a handful is an understatement. A few of his most recent antics are: - getting in the pantry and taking a bottle of RED snow cone syrup and poured it into the vacuum attachment. Good thing it didn't happen on the carpet. I didn't see that one coming; and the following proof of busyness (more too crazy not captured on camera for his safety - like turning on our bath faucets - yes, I have taken the handles off, but he figured out how to turn those on even):
Glitter and Zane. Not a good combo.
Getting a stool and trying to figure out the door locks. At least he hasn't figured it out yet.
Zane and the kitchen faucet = Water all over
And just recently, taking a jar full of sticky hair gel and applying it all over his head. I knew it was too quiet! and it all happened 5 minutes (yes I am not kidding) after he woke up.
Here's a closer look:
Fourth, and most likely the most damaging to our schedules is the fact that he's been climbing out of crib every time we put him down for a nap or to bed at night. Unless he says "night night" back he is out again in less than 5 minutes. We are seriously considering a crib tent at this point but I am not sure about caging him although ... what am I going to do when preschool starts? and he really still needs his 1 long nap to keep him happy til he goes to bed.
On the upside, he really is learning quite a few things -- he likes putting shapes into his little shape sorter, has a vocabulary of about 15 words - mama, dada, cracker, allie, collin, cookie, head, bath, bye, night-night, blanket, hot, movie - he says "mo", car, etc. and tries to "talk" in little garbled sentences. He points to things a lot, knows how to ask for a drink, runs away when you want him, and knows where his head and feet and hair are. He even has his own chore - it is to throw away his wet or soiled diapers in the trash. He is good at it and loves to do it. He also looks forward to Kevin brushing his teeth at night before bed. He loves to brush his 10 pearly whites! At his 18-month appointment he got his last shot - and was 23 lbs (10%) and 33.5 inches (75%). Glad those visits are over until he's 2!
Zane can brush for an hour if you let him.
Zane heard Collin say something about playing the wii. Pretty soon we see him try to find a wheel for himself and then he sat on the couch and pretending to turn the wheel to "play".
Zane always takes books and toys wherever he goes. This was his little collection of things on this day. 6/21
Zane at the July 4th parade 07/04
Playing frisbee with Aunt Andrea 7/4
July 4th BBQ - he loves hamburgers!
Hiding under the table! Not pictured - but he also liked climbing and sitting on Danny and Aireen's foosball table.
He also wanted to bowl. Except the ball was a bit too big and too heavy. Boy was he mad about that.
Park City 7/6 - he didn't want me to hold his hand or be by me even. He just wanted to explore on his own.
I love when he's sleeping - he looks so calm unlike when he's awake. 7/8
And Zane's little fun life as captured by my phone:
Driving
Crashing on my bed with Maddie. Cute moments I don't want to forget.
Zane loves to vacuum. He is actually pretty good at it and will find all the crumbs on the floor.
Helping make pancakes. He loved to stir the batter.
Got beside Collin while Collin was still asleep. Super cute!
This was the day before we left to go on our summer trip to Utah. He liked helping pull this suitcase around.
Zane's first LONG trip in the car. He did pretty well considering that we were in the car for over 10 hours.
"Reading" at the hotel
Loving the backyard in Utah
Kevin loves to take pictures of our sleeping kids. A brief reminder they are angels.
Zane made himself at home during a BBQ and stole someone's food.
Ice cream is always really good and tasty. Can't blame him!
More ice cream!
He thought this RC car was pretty neat. He kept laughing the whole time he watched it go.
Bath in the sink. Always a favorite of mine and the kids.
Zane will try anything. Here he is eating snap peas. He'll also eat broccoli and eggplant.
Aunt Aireen's laptop barely survived Zane's visit. Good thing.
Little boy loves being outside - in the heat, in the rain, he doesn't care. He practically lives in his little cozy coupe since we got it.
Now he is officially 19 months, 2 weeks. Where did the time go???
