Who Else? And Jacob's Birthday

My life would be completely boring if I didn't have my Zach man to hang out with all day, and he is just becoming crazier and crazier. I wish that I could capture this cute little age of his in a jar, and open it up on a rainy day when I need a smile. So today, the blog will become my jar.

Zach is 14 and a half months old, has 9 teeth and getting two more that I know of. He knows a few words, I don't know what's normal for his age, but he knows: Hi, Mama, Dada, banana (nana), ball, woof, no, and bye. He also roars when I show a picture of a lion. I generally avoid saying banana because he won't stop saying "Nana? Nana?"until I give him one. We go through a ton of bananas in this house.

These past few weeks, he has been trying to sit on just about anything. He'll turn his lego box upside down and sit on it, he tries to sit on his bouncy ball, his toy train, just about anything he can find to turn into a seat.
Peek a boo is one of his favorite games and he especially likes to play it with his lego box on his head. (He's been pretty innovative with that box.)
And he's become quite the climber. We have a toy car that he hasn't figured out how to move with his feet yet, but he managed to stand straight up on the seat... He also was working really hard to stand up on this foot rest, but this is about as far as he got.
I almost wanted to help him because he was working so hard, but I didn't want to encourage his climbing. He also learned how to take off his diaper. That's a fun trick. No more running around with out any pants on.
I just love this boy.

We celebrated Jacob's birthday this weekend. He asked for ribs which was a true labor of love, and they were spectacular. Jacob even said they were life changing! I love Jacob very much and he is a great father to Zach. They wrestle and play every night. Zach even got mad when I tried to feed him breakfast this morning. He wanted his DAD to do it. I can't believe Jacob is 28 years old! What an OLD man! Good thing I like him.
