Zachary turned 6 months old on December 14. Whew, where did those months go?! I swear time's going twice as fast with Zach as it did with Eliot. Maybe because with Eliot we were in law school and time seemed to drag? Or maybe because trying to keep up with two makes life busier and time seems to get away from me? Either way, we are in LOVE with this little boy! He has the funnest, funniest, cutest personality! He is obsessed with Eliot, is quick with a smile and a laugh, he's a good eater (we call him "piglet"), and usually a great sleeper (when he's not sick or having "toofy" troubles). Here are some pictures we took on his "half birthday":
- Getting ready to crawl by rocking on all fours and scooting like a frog usually you end up going backwards).
- Rolling just about wherever you want to go.
- Shrieking and screaming like a banshie, but not a whole lot of "talk" or babble yet (despite Mommy's bribes to get you to say "Mama").
- A lot of swelling, drooling, and discomfort, but still no teeth!!
- Strawberry blond hair is fading to a sandy brown, but in the right light (and in your fuzzy eyebrows), we still see some red!
- You L.O.V.E. your tubbies, especially when you get to share them with Brother.
- Your nicknames that are sticking are Zachers, Baby Z/"Z", and "Ree" (for ZachaRY)
- You are a very hands-on baby and love to touch and grab things.
- We still can't decide if you're pure Dickinson or if there's some McEuen showing through (Mom thinks you've got her ears, nose, and you've definitely got your Ampy McEuen's hair.)
- You love musical, interactive toys, especially your "Tad" that sings you to sleep.
- You're long and lean like your brother and dad, but a little "sturdier" of a build than Eliot.
- You like to tease and poke at/hit your brother during story/scripture time. And so it begins ...
- You are a happy, fun (albeit loud) baby who has added so much enjoyment to our home. You are Eliot's best audience and our little buddy. We love you Zachers!
