Lately...

So in an attempt to not overload this with pictures...I made a collage...whatever.  I need to work on my collage skills.  I think it is cute. 

So what's been going on.

Well we went to Austin

Jer baptized some people

Grandma Jude came for a visit and we visited the Alamo

And in between all of this....we took lots of pictures of Zac.  That's about it.

So what has little man been up to:

He is starting to make a lot more noise these days.  He likes to coo and laugh and blow bubbles.

He has found his hands and apparently they taste awesome!

He is a finger sucker...I will explain.  He isn't sucking on his fingers all day, right now mostly when he is going to sleep.  Quite funny to watch.  If his head is facing his right hand, he sucks his thumb and if his head is facing his left hand...index finger it is.  Don't know why he has a preference on each hand.

He is an awesome sleeper (most of the time...last night being an exception night with him waking up every 3 hours).  And he is getting really good at putting himself to sleep.  He has a routine, we call it the 3 B's.  Bath, something that rhymes with toob but starts with a 'B', and Bed.  As long as we go in the right order, you can lay him down in his crib (assuming he is not really peeved) and he will stick his thumb (or index finger as mentioned above) in his mouth and go to sleep.

He HATES being strapped into things...car seat...hates it.  Stroller....hates it.  The only exception is the Bjorn....LOVES it.  Mostly I think because he likes to suck on it.

He LOVES to stand...don't even think about making him sit.  He would stand all day if I was patient enough to hold him up.  But sometimes when his little legs are just shaking from being tired, I just have to make him sit and rest for a few minutes.

Toys are starting to interest him now.  Not too much yet, but at least he will stare at them and bat and grab at them a little.
