*** November 24, 2011 -- Happy 14 Months my Sweet Zacary Brenden *** :]

My Mr Zacary turned 14 months on Nov 24th – which was also our first Turkey Day at home the 4 of us! (post to come soon on Turkey Day) :] It seems my babies are always learning something knew, as I know you are all experienced with too :] It seems Zacary has learned so so much the last month and it makes him seem older then he is – sloooow down time haha!!!! Weren't both of my babies JUST BORN!?!? They are growing so so so fast and I just can’t believe it!!! My babies are my lil heroes and I just love them so so so much :]

Zacary loves to give us kisses and hugs!! He puts his lil forehead to our mouth for a kiss, he will blow a kiss, and then for a hug he lays his lil head on our shoulder or lap :]:] It melts my heart!! He does the same for Eli too of course and it is so so so cute! Eli just smiles ear to ear the whole time too!! Zacary also loves to hug Elmo and Mickey Mouse too (his 2 faves) :] Every single night I make time for both of my boys before bedtime, and our first stop is Zacary's room to say goodnight to him and Eli always joins us too :] I sing “You are my sunshine” and “I love you, you love me” from Barney and read a story and when I blow a kiss goodnight lil Zacary blows one back smiling ear to ear and drinking his milk – sooooo sweet and adorable :]:] Hearing Eli say "I love you Mommy" all the time and kissing me on the cheek too and seeing Zacary smile and blow me a kiss is one of theeee best things ever!!!! I just love every single second with my babies!!!

He is walking very very good and starting to run now too :] He gets so tickled when I chase him and starts to pick up the pace even more haha!!! He is still eating the same which is awesome!! He is such a good lil eater – the only thing he does not like is cottage cheese!!! He always is such a good lil eater – and def loves him some sweets too haha! He is a good fruit eater as well and Eli is too and always has also!!!

He has 4 teeth with 2 more coming in on the top! My poor lil guy was going to show me a toy the other day and he ran into a plastic chair and fell and chipped his tooth a lil. I got him into the dentist Mon morning and they aren’t gunna do anything about it since he will lose it at 5 or 6 yrs old! They leveled it out better and it doesn’t look bad at all! I feel so so bad it happened to him though the poor lil baby!!! He has been such a trooper about it though awww bless him!!! Mommy’s cuddles of course have helped out too :]:] Love me some cuddles with my babies!!!

He has a fabulous love for Elmo, and still loves Mickey Mouse too. He isn’t watching as much Praise Baby as he used to, only because Elmo has taken over haha! He loves to play with any toy and loves loves loves books!!! He tries to sit and read them too haha- it’s just so cute! Eli will actually pretend and read him stories and it is adorable!!! We read stories everyday before nap and bed time and I just love love love it!!! He also will bring us a book when he wants us to read to him… how adorableHe loves his Mommy and Daddy time- and is becoming more and more social with us the older he gets- and I absolutely love it!!!

He loves to be around his brother and watch what his brother is doing at all times :] They are 2 peas in a pod and it melts my heart! Eli is such a good big brother and lil helper and he is always looking out for Zacary to make sure he is doing what is right and all and it’s so so cute! With Zacary still being so young to understand some things sometimes, Eli sure does a good job helping out and steering him in the right direction versus egging him on!!! Soooo cute! My babies always know how to make my day in the smallest ways ever… they bring so much joy to our lives!!!

Zacary loves to laugh, smile, loves to be in the bath tub with his big brother and splash the bubbles, loves to play with Thomas the Train, have Mommy hold and cuddle him, loves to feed himself, drink his sippys so good by himself, and his one baba still at night time of milk :] He loves to have what Eli has at all times and of course I never leave him out evvver and he just is thrilled to be included awww!!! I have included him in everything from day one and it really shows and is so cute!!! It’s so funny too b/c now Eli wants Zacary to try something first before him, and then he will try it hehe!! Zacary is a lil brave lil guy and Eli isn’t as brave and they both look up to each other --- sooooo sweet! Zacary is a busy body, a very sweet lil guy like his big brother, and very brave haha! It makes me chuckle :] The boys love to hug, kiss, play together, and are really the cutest lil boys evvvvver and I am beyond proud to be their Mommy :]

Zacary is taking one 2.5 or 3 hr nap a day and he goes to bed at 8:30pm and gets up around 7:30am or 7:45am! He is a good lil sleeper just like Eli always has been too -- very lucky!!! He is sleeping the same as Eli did at his age too – they both love their sleep and like to kind of sleep in – 7:30/7:45am isn’t too bad at all!!! Eli doesn’t wake up until 8:30am or around there so I have a good hour of time with just Zacary and then when Zacary goes down for nap he always sleeps longer then Eli does so I have a good hour with Eli before he goes down for nap and then Eli sleeps 2 hours and Zacary is still asleep and wakes up 1.5 hrs/2 hrs after Eli goes to sleep so it works out great and I love my one on one time with both of them every single day – I feel it is very important to the 2 of them, as well as all of our time together too everyday :]

Zacary is wearing size 18 month clothes and size 5 in shoes! He now says: football, baseball, quack quack quack when you ask him what a duck says, he knows where his nose is, he says Dada, Mama, kitty cat, uh-oh, sucker, cookie, hi, bye, he will shake his head yes and no when you ask him a question haha, he also says dog, baba, juice, and is learning more and more words everyday!!! He waves hi and bye, is beginning to love to play baseball more (he throws the ball or brings me a ball to throw and he goes and gets it and brings it back -- he will also get the balls Eli hits and bring it to me or Eli awww!!!) -- He is so darn smart just like his big brother!!! He loves to try to go up the stairs ha, and loves to hold my hands and walk up and down the steps aww!! He likes to take off his socks and shoes all the time haha, play with toys, go to Monkey Joe’s and the playland at McDonalds, see all the Christmas lights and our tree (and take the ornaments off) hahaha! He gets a temper like his Daddy when he is mad and it makes me laugh!!! He is such a loving and carring lil guy and oh sooo sweet!!! You just do not want to make him mad just like his Dad hehehe -- I love my lil family ohhhhh so much :]:]

We go to a Mommy and Me class at the library for 2 yr olds and Zacary has picked up on the songs we sing and does the action to them (Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Mr Golden Sun) I also work with them on the stuff we learn in this class at home too and it is so fun and in the class we also play a matching game too where Miss Michelle gives the kids an item (a puppy dog, fruit, type of ball, animal, letters, etc) and when she puts what they have up on a board the kid who has it is suppose to take theirs up beside hers and put it beside it! Eli had a puppy dog this week and as always he went and put it up there, turned around and smiles, and then runs back to me as fast as he can with his arms out to give me a hug and he is oh sooo proud – it is sooooo darn sweet! Well this week lil Zacary was right behind Eli doing the same, and he was soooo proud of himself and put his lil turkey on the board and ran back and was sooooo cute and happy what he did and to see me and give me a hug awww!! I JUST LOVE IT!!! Soooo sweet, smart, and cute! Our lil moments everyday are absolutely priceless and amazing!!!!! :]:]

The boys have this new thing where they will make a scream noise back and forth to each other and it is hilarious! I can’t help but to laugh haha! They are also biiiig into dancing and it is soooo funny!!! I laugh and laugh and will be posting new dancing videos oh so soon!!!

We don’t plan to make any changes to my Mr Zacary anytime soon – we wunna try and see what a toddler bed does for him when he is 18 months or so like Eli did since he is also a bed hog like my Mr Eli is too hehe :] I want to try and potty train closer to 2 but we have awhile for that for sure! I continue to work with them every single day on new learning styles for their ages and love love it!!! We also do crafts, sing songs, play games, watch some movies some days, and just play, and hang out :]:] LOOOOOOVE my babies absolutely so so so much! They are my lil heroes and always will be, and also will always be my lil babies :]

Happy 14 months my sweet sweet lil guy, we love you so so so much!!!! <3

(Thanksgiving post and pics and dancing videos to come soon) :]
