I went into his room the other day to get him up from his nap and he was just sound asleep sucking his thumb. I just had to take a video of it because he's getting really big and I want to remember it! Also, last week I decided to start putting a blanket on him at night. He didn't have anything in his crib because I was so worried about him having SIDS, but after he turned a year, I decided he needed a little friend in his crib, so I put a birthday present, a sock monkey in his crib. Last week, I gave him a blanket. The funny thing is, one time, just a couple days after I started covering him, I laid him down to nap and he pointed to the blanket! He wanted to be tucked in! It was soooooo sweet. I tucked him in and he just lay there smiling. Tonight, he was going to bed and he pointed again to the blanket and just absolutely loved being tucked in! I can even stand there and talk to him telling him I love him, etc and he just lays there! Of course, after I leave, he gets up and roots around, but he wanted his blanket!
We are still working on sounds. We're trying to teach him a cat, but it hasn't quite come out yet. However, he surprised us with the monkey sounds (ooo ooo)and today, before church when he was eating, he actually did the motion for a monkey! It was so surprising!! He can also do a turkey, duck, sort of a chicken, dog, lion, coyote, loves the sheep-it might be his favorite, cow, pig, and fish.
Oh, this is a little embarrassing, but at almost 15 months, I've discovered that Zane for sure has a birthmark! I've noticed this mark on his hip once or twice fairly recently and thought it might be a birthmark, but also thought it could be a light bruise. Well, it's definitely a birthmark. He had a hurting diaper rash so we let him run around outside sans clothes on a blanket and I got a good look at it.
He's back into the "don't want to leave Mama" stage. I thought that it was only around 9 months, but it's back! And he's getting heavy!! I don't mind it really, because I love his hugs and neediness, but it's hard to walk around with someone grabbing your legs!
Zane loves playing with his little friends. It is so great to see him interact with other kids. I can't remember if I wrote this on the blog, but one of my friends at church has a little girl and she got to bible class before Zane did and Zane had to have a diaper change before he got in his chair. The teacher told my friend that Briley was doing great and then Zane came and it was like confetti fell out of the heavens!!! :) Isn't that funny? I am so glad that he has little friends. He had a little boy buddy in Bible class today. :) This week, he gets to meet Aunt Amanda, Uncle Andre and cousin Elliot!! I'm so excited to see the boys play together. It is going to be so much fun.
He's on a roll of cutting his lip. He did it again outside the other day when he fell! This one wasn't as bad though, but I still don't like seeing blood. And I still do the wrong things when trying to help. Hopefully he won't give me more practice. Enough is enough!
That's all the news I can think of. I'll leave you with a cute toddler sucking his thumb.
