two years with the Zaner
It's been so many years since I had toddler boys that I had forgotten just how much energy they have! :D Zaner is a firecracker- full of crazy energy and always going, until he crashes in his bed:
Never in almost 12 years of parenting can I recall a child blowing out his candles three times before the end of the song. Here I hadn't finished lighting them the first time before he was blowing! :D
Things I always want to remember about Zaner's 2nd year:
- the way he shrugs his shoulders to say I don't know
- how he says only names, and points and says "mah" for EVERYTHING but somehow we can still communicate perfectly
- how he could work my iPhone at 14 months, unlock it and scroll three pages to open Elmo Calls
- how we made it to 20 months of nursing- the longest I've nursed any of ours
- how he feels like a lead weight when I pick him up now :D I didn't get weaker or anything, right? hahah!
- how he eats everything in sight, all day long {we predict linebacker will be his first job}
- how he isn't afraid of bugs or frogs, and will kick spiders if we don't stop him
- how he nearly takes his newborn sister out of my arms because he wants to hold her so badly
- how he gives air kisses and says "Mah!"
- how he hated getting dirty for the first half of his 2nd year, and went to dirty all the time in the 2nd half
- how he only likes certain outfits and refuses most of his clothing, wanting to pick out his own
- how he raises his hands and cheers when we say we're going to Papa's or to eat
- how much this boy loves his daddy
our sweet kid #5. :D
