So I messed up in my last post and meant to post the above video to demonstrate Zach's love for making noise. Oops.
We're all prepping for Zach's second Halloween. This week has been filled with pirate attire and fun Halloween books. Today, we're headed to a pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins!
Check back next week to see Cookie Monster in action!
When Zach was
born, I got him an adorable little robot that I thought would soon become his “lovie,”
the item he attaches himself to and can’t do without. Instead, when he was
about 10 months old, he fell in love with a brown ABC blanket he got from my
cousin, Katie.
It’s great. It
allows him to sleep wherever and he’s happy when he sees it. All the blogs I
read and the advice I’ve gotten from other parents say that I should get a
second blanket for months down the road when the adorable “blankie” isn’t so
adorable anymore (or is lost - yikes!). The problem is that 10 months later, Target doesn’t sell the
blanket anymore.
I’ve been
searching blogs, consignment stores, thrift stores, and eBay for this dang
blanket for months. It’s nowhere to be found.
A couple days ago
I got a birthday present from my awesome sister-in-law, Amanda and BAM! There
it was. Blankie #2. You should’ve seen Zach’s face. He watched me open the present
and his eyes got wide as they shifted from the blanket in my hand to the one
already in his hand. He immediately raced forward to claim blankie
#2.
My favorite part
of the whole experience was when he threw his blankie on the floor, laid down
on it, saw blankie #2 and got up to go lay on that one.
THANKS AMANDA!
Below (and totally unrelated), you can
experience one of Zach’s favorite things: making noise!
It's been a long time since I last blogged. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about it. I've just been too busy! Maybe you've heard? PAUL'S GETTING MARRIED!
We have a few new videos of Zach, but they haven't been uploaded yet. Maybe I'll work on getting that done this weekend. In the meantime, enjoy the photo above. Zach has really bonded with his "blankie" (thanks Katie Maddus!) and will drag it around everywhere if you let him. Think Linus and his blanket.
