The lil' dude

Well It's been a while since I've wrote about Zach....He is now 9 months...haven't gone to the doc yet so I am not sure how much he weighs I would say 16lbish. He was sick abot 2 weeks ago like I mentioned before..and ever since he is a HUGE cuddle bug. He loves to be rocked to sleep..or even if you are just sitting or standing he just lays his head down and goes to sleep...such a change from his hours of screaming his head off at bedtime when he was beyond tired...but I am loving it! He is still having a little trouble staying asleep when I put him down at 7....but usually by 10 he is out again until 9 in the morning! That's right folks...he is FINALLY sleeping through the night....well I think so..I have been really tired so I have been taking tylenol pm to help me get some better sleep...and personally I don't know remember anything that happens in the night..but I know for sure that he has slept at least a couple nights without waking at all...but there have been a few times that he cried to at least an hour before falling asleep..but I think he got the hang of it now! Hope I didn't just jinx it : /!! The weird thing though is that he kinda sucks with his naps now...before I would just put him in his crib and bam he is asleep for an hour or 2 hours..but now...not so much now!

He is an army crawling machine! He can get up on all 4's and rock..and even move a little...but he can get anywhere he wants with the army crawl...so he prefers that...even more...he prefers to walk why we hold his hands...it looks soo cute and funny because he is so tiny!

He can say momamoma..over and over again. I think at first he was just learning his mmmmm and then maaa...and then mamama..then he realized that everytime he did it i responded..and now he def. knows because when he wakes he just yales MOMAMOMAMA. And when he is sad he just looks into my eyes and says momaaaaa momaaaaa. It is so sweet. He is talking more and more..just baby jibberish but it is cute..and he has the funnies facial expressions...he looks at you like he knows what is going on. He is also a LAUGHING MACHINE...when this boy gets going he just can't quit..or even catch a breath...it is so funny..and he is still so tickleish...diaper changing time is very funny!

He pretty much thinks he is done with baby food. If he can't feed it to himself he doesn't want it. So he usually eats puffs, saltines, gramcrakers, bread, rolls, frozen egos and things like that...he loves to feed himself. We have had a few choking incidents...like last sunday in sunday school I had turn him over and pound his back..and BAM there goes flying whatever he was eating...oops. He was just fine about it though and ready to eat more! I do give him baby food like 2 every 2-3 days..and he is alright with that...especially if it is bananas!!

Attn: This part may be gross to you....

He is the loudest pooper! And he has to go everytime I am at a store. His face gets beat red..he holds his breath..it makes him do this funny little smile because he is pushing so hard...and the grunts are just ignormous! I just have to laugh and tell people it's not me..jk they know.

Hair progess- well as you see from the pics he is still a baldy but it is growing in back...just not on top.

Puller-upper-he may not be able to crawl..but he can pull himself up to standing! I hate it! Because he is not stable enough to stand for that long...and he'll pull stuff ontop of him...so far he has only pulled a box fan ontop of him..which landed on his head..eeekk.he cried about that one..I didn't think it could hurt that bad..so I tried it...and DANG...it hurt real bad...especially for a baby. Oopps....

Teeth- not yet! But that is ok someone told me it is better for them to get them later! So I am going to chose to believe them....so don't bust my bubble : )

Well I think that is all the update with my lil' dude!

This was at the Ward Christmas party, my calling is the activities committee so this was my first activity..it was work...but everything went GREAT and it was a wonderful time! (yes we all match...I couldn't resist!)
