nine months

Zach,
It's hard to believe you've been a part of my life for a year and a half now. All of a sudden, you're growing so quickly and showing off your little personality. People comment to me all of the time that you've gotten so big and don't seem like a little baby anymore. I never dreamed I would have such an affectionate little fellow who is so attached to me. You're happy all the time and have the biggest, happiest grin I think I have ever seen. It lights up the room. Your good nature certainly helps out when your sister is climbing on you and harrassing you every moment with all of her loving and playing. You certainly adore her, watch her wherever she is whatever she is doing, and laugh like crazy when she entertains you. You still love the stroller but don't love sleeping nearly as much as you used to. You also like to eat and seem like such a chub. Sometimes you make my arms tired. You love it when daddy throws you up in the air. You like to play with anything you can get your hands on, especially cords. You are thrilled with your recently mastered skill of standing up. You just barely started crawling and are now crawling and cruising along furniture at the same time. I'm so glad you're part of our family.
Love,
Mom
