Kids can be so weird!

Zane got this new riding toy for his birthday and he loves it, but what I cannot figure out is why he insists on only sitting on it if the seat is up. There is a little compartment under the seat to store toys (or sippy cups full of milk...fun to find a day later) and he always lifts it and then sits down. If you put him on it with the seat down he's fine, but if he puts himself on it, he has to lift the seat. Weirdo!



Zane's friend Brooklyn came over tonight and she was having a ball pushing him around on his little tricycle. What we can't figure out about her is why in every picture she is squinting one eye. This is a new trick for her as well. Sometimes kids can be so weird!!

Its the birthday month for Zane!

We had another small birthday party for Zane yesterday (Sunday) for family that were unable to make it to his big party last week. It had been a long day for the kid, so he wasn't as full of as much happiness as he was at his other party, but he still had fun and was still spoiled of course! There is something wrong with the "red-eye" function on my computer so don't mind the weirdness of his eyes in these shots!

On his likeabike (which I had no idea what it was until I mentioned it to a friend who was in aww that he had one...apparently its "the thing" in Germany-where she is from).

12 Month Check-up

Zane had his 12 month well-child visit today and is doing great! The doctor was impressed that he could walk so well, was completely off the bottle and already had 3 words in his vocabulary ("wassat" i.e. what's that, "icky" and "kitty cat"). Zane learned how to clap today while we were waiting for the doctor. Not sure why this was such a big deal to me, but I got so excited when he started walking around the room in his little diaper and clapping. Its so darn cute. It wasn't so cute when they had to poke his little legs 3 times, but I guess not everything can be cute all of the time!

Here are his stats for inquiring minds that want to know:
25 lbs 79%
31.5 inches tall 95%
19 inch head circumference 96%

Which means in 12 short months he has gained 15 lbs, grown 11.5 inches and his head as grown by 4 inches. That's one growing boy!

Birthday Part 2.

Yay, I was finally emailed some good pics of my little man and his cake!!! I hope you enjoy.

Tricycle Time

Josh and I gave Zane a tricycle for his birthday, but waited until today to give it to him. He was on birthday overload Friday and Saturday! He LOVES it. He's a bit too small for it still, but he loves to get on and off of it and to be pushed around the house on it!

His first time on it!


Oh, how I love his smile!


One last ride right before bed!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Josh turned the big 3-1 today!!! I can't believe I am married to such an old man!! Ha ha, just kidding, I'll be joining him in 2 months so I can't make too much fun of him. Anyway, here are a few pics of him opening up his present...a wet suit for when he goes scuba diving! Yippee for him, I will watch from the shore!!!

Chuck E Cheese!

Zane and I went to Chuck E Cheese today for my cousin's daughter's birthday party! Zane had a ball. He would just run from ride to ride! I am not normally a huge fan of this place, but it wasn't very busy and surprisingly it was pretty clean so I guess maybe it was ok for today! The kids had fun and I think that is all that counts, right?!
