Zack did the thing all babies and toddlers do in their diapers. No big shock there. What WAS a shock was that he has developed quite a little sense of humor. He looked at Jeremy and says “Naughty Daddy!” Of course “naughty” sounds like “naw-nee” so it was extra cute and funny. It seems Zack doesn’t want to take blame for his, er, messes…
Zack was watching his daily dose of The Wonder Pets. Some time in between his clapping and exclamations of love to Mi Mi (aka Ming Ming) he slipped his cowboy boots on. He then grabbed some keys and rode his horse. You can’t ride a horse without keys–you gotta start ‘em first!
Cribs are cool and wonderful and comfortable for children. They exist for a reason–they make life better for parents and children alike. All of that is true until you child, Zack for instance, decides to jump out. That’s what happened. He jumped out. He does a lot of thumping around in his room so the actual boom wasn’t louder than usual. What was louder was his scream…”Waaaaaaaa! Mama. MAMA. MAAAAMAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
We’re not putting him in his twin bed just yet. We’ll wait for it to happen again. If and when it does he’ll be put in his big boy bed. We already have it. It’ll be a matter of moving it into his room instead of the adjacent guest room/library. On the upside, he only scared himself. No actual wounds from his expedition.
This isn’t a great picture–I saw him with Jeremy’s hat and grabbed my camera. And yeah…that’s peanut butter on his face.
Almost. This is as close to his “dirty look” I’ve caught on camera. I need to get that look. It’s hilarious!
Zack has been working hard on the bathroom. The tile is done (and we like it) and there are a few finishing bits that need to be done to it. First off was keeping it damp so that it would dry slowly and evenly. This was Zack’s favorite part I think. He had a great time helping Jeremy do the job of sponging the floor and bathtub down. Check it out!
He’s really not as helpful as he looks.
Dad Towne (aka Grandpa Towne) and Uncle Dick turned 60 a few days ago…here’s a photo of Zack with his grandpa:
And one of Jeremy’s uncles, Dad, and (Great) Grandma Towne…and for those who don’t know, yes my father-in-law is an identical twin:
And a few other random Zack photos:
Zack is turning into quite the little comedian. Okay…at least we think he’s funny.
He’s putting his own shoes on and most likes his cowboy boots. Yes, really cowboy boots–leather and all–purchased at the high school rodeo championships last year. He loves putting them on when he’s only in a diaper and stomping around the house.
Anyway, he also is working on dressing himself. It doesn’t usually turn out too well. His balance just isn’t great and he wants to do it while standing up. I’ve been sick so yesterday when Jeremy went upstairs to get Zack from his nap I heard an “uh oh” from the little guy as the door swung open. I could hear it took longer than usual to get Zack from his crib (as it turns out Jeremy was squelching his laughter and trying to figure out what to say to me). The two came downstairs–both with giant grins. Jeremy goes “There was quite an interesting sight upstairs.” I turned and looked. Zack had managed to get his pants off (jeans, mind you) and put them back on–BACKWARDS! Ha!
