11 months....alittle late

I haven't had good Internet connection so I couldn't blog this week but the the Internet people literally just walked out the door so I thought I would do catch up. I really need to be getting ready for my garage sell this weekend but it is hot hot outside so I am waiting for it to cool down before finishing things up.

Zach is 11 months this week. I can't believe next month he will be a year old. I have started planning for his birthday,but still not decided on what the theme it yet. There is so many options and it hard from planning 5 girl birthday parties to doing a boy party.

Milestones: He is walking along the furniture and walking alittle wobbling across the room. He is standing on his own for a couple of seconds. He is pointing at things and making a noise to let you know that what he wants. He is holding his index finger up telling everyone that he is going to be one. I haven't gotten a picture of that yet, because he does it best for his Nana Eckels. Getting pictures of him with is eyes open is a choir, I need a new camera. Hint..Hint. He is eating mostly big people food, like mac n cheese, spaghetti, ramon noodles, cottage cheese, jello and yogurt bread and carrots, corn and apples just to name a few. He likes feeding himself with no assistance. He is gabbling alot and yelling alot. He likes grawl when he wants something. He is barking like a dog when he hears the dogs barking outside. He is saying sissyquite a bit. He is size 18-24 months clothes. He is in size 5 shoe. He is still 23lbs. His hair has grown alot and we will probably have to have his first professional hair cut before his 1st birthday. He has been drinking more 8 oz bottles about two a day and the rest of the feedings I give him 6 oozes. He loves water, and really doesn't like juice so it just water and juice for him. He is still teething but no more teeth.

Daily routine: It has change a bit since school has started. He is going to sleep at 9 still and wakes up around 7:00. He sleeps all night. His nap time has changed. We get home from dropping Kailey off from school and he will have a bottle of 8 oz and then I try to feed him breakfast but he isn't really interested so I will give him a bath around 10:00 and feed him and then get him down for his nap around 11:00. Mike doesn't like it much because he is sleeping when he comes home for lunch but that's what is working right now. He sleeps until 2 sometimes and then he gets another 8 oz bottle and we leave to go pick Kailey up from school. If he gets a good nap he is pretty good in the evening until about 8 and then it time to get ready for bedtime.

His personality is really coming out. He is mostly happy all the time. He like to tackle his dad and sister. I still can't believe he will be 1 next month.
