z 11 months

well z is 11 months. thats like almost 1

i have had these pics - not the greatest on my phone and well for some reason the iCloud link isn't working so just now getting them

this one is much more fitting

well z is walking/running around (like people always ask how old he is - he just does such a good job)

he almost looks funny crawling when he seldom does. he gets into pretty much everything. his favorite cupboard is the one under the sink (which thankfully has nothing really in it) and the one that houses the bowls and beaters. he loves to find my iced coffee in the afternoon. and he is just darn right busy. i forget how crazy this stage is sometimes.

he loves to climb the stairs. makes a beeline for the deck stairs even trying to squeeze pass my barricades. he loves to hang out on the steps in the front and roll every single ball down the driveway.  he's also still likes to taste test just about everything. thankfully he is not a swallower but only likes to let rocks and small items mule around in his mouth for awhile. we are constantly fishing out something!

he's a big entertainer like his big brother. always romancing the ladies and loves to charm others. he waves bye bye and says a few words like ball, baa (to the sheep with shadd's coaxing and reading). he loves to be tickled and wrinkle up his nose.

he loves the pool. although not so much of the water anymore but the freedom to roam around and go in and out of the water as he pleases. 

he is a good sleeper most of the time unless he gets put to bed from the car at night but he transfers from the car to his bed every time which this summer has been super super helpful.  he usually naps twice a day although very rarely this summer have they both been in his bed. summer craziness i guess.

hes a bit wild. a bit of a ham. a bit sweet and snuggly. he is really a blend of all three of my bigs but i think I'm in for a rude awakening when the big two go to school.
