Regular updates (42 weeks)



Zeke has been so "bzzy" recently (as it says on the romper). It is simply astounding to see how much he is learning everyday. You really can see him do something new each day and it can be hard to keep up with. Here are some of his new tricks/traits:

* Zeke can sit down from standing. It is something he is still working on and, some of the time as he gets ready to sit, you can see that he is just hoping for the best, presumably landing on his behind and not on face.

* He has also started to sit up from lying down....he's still working on this, but I'm pretty impressed the few times I've seen it.

* Three of Zeke's four front teeth have broken through, two on top and one on the bottom. The fourth one isn't far behind. For the record, the first one was on the bottom.

* Zeke displays a lot of attachment to me. It is mostly charming and it makes me feel needed and loved by him. It is difficult to get much detailed feedback from a baby, so a nuzzle and outstretched arms can mean a lot. It can border on clingy sometimes, but I hear that it's probably a stage.

* Zeke loves to "talk" when in the right mood. He tries so hard to talk with children, especially! I think he spent all of our meal at an Indian restaurant this week trying to get the attention of the toddler sitting by us. How? By laughing and fake coughing. It is largely effective and he really practiced this with Zach last week. He also seems to "take turns" when "talking" with adults. We really need to be videotaping more of this!
