This is what you are up to my lil guy --
*You are 23 pounds according to our scales ha and a very good lil eater. There isn’t one thing you do not like so far that you have tried!!!
*You wear size 4 diapers and are still in 12 month clothes, moving forward to some 18 month clothes as well- biiiig boy!
*As of August 15 you are WALKING and becoming more and more confident and walking alllll over the place!!!! Its so cute but at the same time you look soooooo little!!!! I always knew you would walk before you were 1 b/c of how much you watch your awesome big brother :] You love love love to stand up by the TV and watch any show that Eli is watching and you just laugh and smile so much!- You also love to walk to Mommy Daddy and pull on our pants and want up to be held and it is soooo stinkin adorable! You wave to people as well. The other night we went to the football game and I took Eli potty and on the way back Noah said the minute Zacary saw me he made a grunt noise and then Eli and I were watching him and Noah and Zacary started waving at us for soooo long it was sooooo cute!!!! :]
*You are eating table food for lunch and dinner and you are doing so so good I am so proud of you baby boy! You really love- mac n cheese, bananas, french fries, grilled cheese, pb&j sandwiches, cheerios (the reg kind annnd honey nut), chicken nuggets, any type of puffs, yogurt bites, and yogurt nibbles too. You like a lot of fruits and one of your all time faves that we have tried lately is pizza :]:] It makes me laugh too bc I loooved eating pizza when I was pregnant with you AND Eli and this is one of your favorite foods and Eli definitely has always loved pizza too :]
*You eat whatever Eli eats for breakfast in small lil pieces (pancakes, waffles, muffins, cereal, poptarts, eggs, etc) and you are down to 2 8oz bottles a day, one in the morning, and one before bed. You are doing so good with this- however, this Mama is havin a hard time giving up that afternoon bottle… and some days you have a hard time with it too but all in all you are doing oh soooo good!!! I just am not ready for both of my kids to be bottle free and see them both with sippys! They are growing so so so so fast – but I guess growing up has to happen sometimes haha I am just a sap! Of course Eli has been with sippys for so long but seeing them both with one always is gunna be so weird at first :]
*You love your sippy cups and I have also added some milk to your formula and you love the milk too which is so good for when you are off formula and on to milk!!! You and Eli race to who gets what sippy first and it is a hoot – I just sit and laugh!!!! SO good you love sippys tho :]
*You still have those 2 lil teeth, but I believe you are teething more bc you have had a clear snot nose and have been in pain here and there which makes me so so sad :[. Poor lil baby! Teething rings, mommys cuddle time, and orajel are good inventions though :]
*You have been sleeping wonderful!!!! Daddy and I are so proud and love this for ourselves too :] We are so lucky to have 2 lil boys that sleep all night!!!! You go to bed around 8:30pm or 9:00pm every night and wake up around 7:30am or 7:45am every morning. Good job lil guy!!
*You take one 3 hour nap everyday around 1:00pm to about 4:00pm. It all depends on our plans for the day but all in all its around that time and around 3 hours!!
*Mommy has all of your birthday planning just about done!!! I am very organized and with us traveling to IL for his 1st bday party you gotta start a bit early so as the boys go to bed and nap that is what I have worked on :] Lookin back at all the pics from when he was born til now just makes me tear up! Its so crazy how fast he has grown and Eli looks soooo big now too!!! I am very excited for his big birthday and sad too! Its very bittersweet!!!! I want my babies to stay little forever!!! However, they will always always be my babies no matter how old they are :] Eli is so excited for his birthday too and cant wait to help Mommy pick out another gift for Zacary and to help him open up all his presents and eat cake :] We already bought him a toddler piano since he loved his cousin Jasmines :]:] Now I wunna have Eli pick out something from us too!!! :] So hard to believe its come sooooo fast!!!! Tears...
*Your favorites are- eating, my hair brushes and mirrors haha, being held, following big Brother everywhere awww, Barney, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, The Wiggles and anything else big Brother watches, playing with Eli and Anslee and doing anything they do and it is waaaay cute, standing up on things and walking around allll over the place, walking with anyone holding on to their hands, it seems you love just about any type of toy out there ha, you love music and to rock back and forth to it and bounce up and down awww, throwing a ball, Benny Belle and Bo, your walker toy, markers haha, board books (whenever we go to the library Eli and I pick out board books for him to be able to bring home too) :], your blanket and stuffed animal T-Bone, cuddling when Mommy feeds you your bottles and you love to cuddle before bed too (LOVE IT and hope this always happens for a long time ha), you love to go places with Mommy, Daddy, and big Brother all the time and be such a good lil boy, being outside, looking out the windows outside, laughing, smiling, babbling/talking, seeing other babies, baths, and swimming too!!! You splah around sooo much in the water and just love to be in the tub with Eli :] You also have been walking while holding toys in your hands, whenever we color I get you out a color book and those markers that color on nothing but the books and you sit and try to color and you do so so so good!!! I have always kept you included in everything we do from day one and it is really showing as you grow and it is soooo adorable – Eli just loves it too!!! You also will roll race cars on the floor already too like they are driving just like Eli does :] You always keep your eyes on Eli and just love your big brother and he loves you too! Although you do have some “small fights” with each other at times you guys are so close and gunna always be best buddies!!!! You love to have Mommy in the room with you at all times and if I leave to do something very fast you come walkin real fast after me awww! Eli is the same way too – 2 lil boys following me and Zacary making huff and puff noises to walk as fast as he can haha awww and Eli saying “Mommy Eli go with too” awww JUST LOVE IT :]
*You are now starting to talk more and more it seems. You now say- Mama, Dada, ouch, ah-ah-ah, Hi, ow, and you mock things we say!!! I was saying Noahs name the other day and he said Noah right after me soooo clear haha!!! He mocks noises we make too and he makes a very excited “ahhhhh ahhhhh” noise when he sees something he really likes and he points at the object or person and gets his arms and legs to moving so much!!! He doesn’t talk a whole lot yet but he is talking more and more. He really doesnt have a chance to talk with Noah, Eli, and I talking all the time haha!!! I know with time he will be saying more and more and more – I am not at all worried – every baby is different and he is saying some words and noises for sure :]
*You are a healthy baby and Daddy and Mommy are very lucky for that and always so so so so blessed! Your first few months of life were so sad and rough with you having RSV and bad colds and reflux but ever since then it is has been perfect for you and we are ohhh so glad for that – it was waaaay sad and I cross my fingers and toes you never have to go thru that again!!! You have had some small colds here and there and one ear infection and a rash from teething, and other then that- you have been good to go. You are also getting so so so big and grown up looking, I think back to the times you were a lil lil thing and it makes me tear up how much you have grown. You and Eli are our pride and joy and such wonderful lil men in our lives!!! Mommy and Daddy talk about how proud we are and how amazing you both are every single day before we go to sleep. You are our perfect lil men we love so so sooooo much and we are oh so proud of you both and will always love and do anything in the world for you both!!!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER :]
*I truly am so thankful to be home with my lil men every single stinkin day!! I really cant explain how wonderful it is and I am just so so soooo thankful!!! The memories everyday will make me smile forever!!! The older you get, the closer we are my lil men—and I pray that is how it is forever!!!! We look forward to seeing Daddy every single day and it is so cute how my babies react to see him too – he is such a wonderful hubby and daddy and I just love him to pieces! You both are learning so much everyday it seems and you are our sweet lil boys we have forever, and we are so lucky to have you- words can’t explain the love we have for our awesome and wonderful lil babies… and how being parents is seriously one of the greatest feelings in the world! We are soooo proud of you baby Zacary and Eli – and love love LOVE you both to the moon and back and will do anything in this world for you 2 always!!!!
*Happy 11 months baby Zacary!!!!!!! :] You soon get to sit forward in your carseat and this will be so much fun to see!!! You and Eli already have such a heyday together in the car (talking and laughing together awww) and now you are gunna be side by side facing forward awwww!!! I LOVE YOU :]
*I just had to add this hahaha!!! My cute lil "girls" around the same age with their hair pulled up! They look so similar if you ask me :] I have always said they have their own look to them but you can def tell they are lil brothers... or I mean "sisters" :] Noah is not a fan when I do this hehehehe! I think it's rather cute :]
*Of course I had to add their 11 mo pics side by side :] LOVE it and my 2 baby boys sooooo much <3<3 They are sure handsome lil fellas* :]
