He's Sitting!

Zachary is now sitting without support! He still leans over a little bit, but he's definitely supporting himself! He can't pull himself up to the position, at least, not yet.

Mission: Impossible 2

It's Valentine's Day. We're going out to dinner tonight, so of course, I'd like to take a shower and get a little dressed up. Here's the deal: Zachary likes to grab my hair, so I've been wearing it up. After my shower I'd like to leave it down, so I didn't take a shower during his morning nap. I said, "I'll take it this afternoon. Zachary often takes a nap in the afternoon, so this'll work out perfectly!" But, it's now 2:30, Zachary's wide awake, and (if he goes to sleep) I'm not sure he's going to take a long enough nap for me to get anything done! lol

Ouch

Zachary bonked his head this morning. I had him sitting in the feeding seat (it has straps that attach it to one of our regular chairs) and the chair was at an angle towards the table. I was doing something else when I heard "clunk!" Sure enough, seconds later, he erupted. He must have leaned forward (probably to grab his foot) a little too quickly. I don't blame him for crying so loud - it sounded like it really hurt! He calmed down quickly enough when I picked him up. He's got a nice red mark on his forehead, but it's not raised.

Pack 'n' Play Graduation

Zachary has graduated to the lower part of the pack and play. He's gotten too big for the bassinet part. He's been too big for it for a while, but I finally got around to taking it out. It's a new experience for him, so he's busy exploring it (scratching at the mesh, trying to grab the stuff on the other side). It's a good thing he likes it, because the blanket we usually have on the floor for him is in the wash. Speaking of which, I think it's probably done, along with the diaper covers.

Baby Kisses

Baby kisses!! He grabs me around the neck (or grabs my hair), pulls himself close and gives me baby kisses! They're wet, slobbery things, and he often sucks on my cheek, but it's so sweet :)

Mission: Impossible

Since it's my birthday, I'm looking forward to taking a nice, hot shower while Zachary naps. He usually takes a long nap in the morning, starting sometime between 9 and 10. But here's the problem: I cleaned up the kitchen this morning and started the dishwasher. So now I'm wondering if there'll be enough hot water for a shower when Zachary falls asleep. (This is, of course, assuming he's going to take a nap, since it's been two hours since he woke up and he's still going strong.)

Every day's an adventure!
