Kid Quote of the Week

Zane (handing me a plastic bowl with a rubber ducky inside): "Mama, here is some bessert (dessert) I made for you."

Me: "Wow! What is it?"

Zane: "It's a duck that I shot myself and then cooked."

Seven Months Old - February 20


Sweet Zane is seven months old today! If you look closely at this picture you can probably tell that he is dealing with the joys of teething - runny nose, lots of drool, some tears and making all sorts of funny noises with his mouth. We have discovered over the past couple of weeks that Zane is not a good teether. He has had a much harder time getting these first teeth than either of his big brothers and we are all going to be very happy to see that first bit of white pop through those gums!

Zane also surprised me yesterday by starting to scoot on the floor to get one of his toys. I have seen him roll back and forth to move forward, but this was faster and more controlled. At one point he even tried to get up on his knees to help him scoot forward! I'm beginning to think that it's not going to be long before he is really crawling (although I don't know that I'm ready for him to be that mobile yet!). He really wants to be able to follow his brothers and sisters around the house. There were a couple of times today when everyone was playing in the playroom and he was just sitting there enjoying the action and chewing on a toy. All of a sudden they would all leave to go to another room, Zane would look around and start screaming for them to come back. He loves his brothers and sisters!
