Ohio has been having some crazy weather lately! The past few weeks have been in the 70's or 80's every day! It is wonderfully weird! Zach and I have gone for walks at the park or to play on the swings and slide everyday for 2 weeks! I am exhausted, he is not ;) Yesterday I purchased an infant carrier for the back, now my neck and arms hurt! Oh well he enjoys it!
We have also been hitting up the local ice cream parlor! I don't know what my husband was thinking buying a house two blocks from the best ice cream around! We are going to go broke :)
On March 19th Zach turned 10 months old! CRAZY! (I am in party planning mode!)
*He almost has 4 teeth (two bottom and his top lateral incisors (canines) and I think he has a few more coming in) I am kind of worried that he is not going to get his top middle teeth, I really hope they come through soon so I can stop worrying!
*He cruises EVERYWHERE! The doctor thinks he will be walking very soon, lord help us!
*He has been saying Mamamamamamama all of the time, no idea if he actually means me or if he is just having fun!
*His language development is pretty fantastic, he almost says uh-oh, so far he's really got the oh down and just this morning he said boo! He also really likes making the f noise, I'm hoping that he isn't gearing up to say a foul word that has frequently crossed my lips (whoops!) I swear I'm a nice girl!
*He looks more and more like a little boy everyday, it is breaking my heart, why can't they just stay babies?
*We are taking swimming lessons, he HATES them! As soon as we get in the pool he starts whining and does not stop until we are out! All of the other parents look at us with pity! I plan to keep taking him until the whining subsides, mean mom!
* He weighs about 20lbs now and is about 29 inches long!
I am having so much fun planning his first birthday party! We are going to have it at the park near our house, so hopefully this gorgeous weather sticks around until then! I'm going with a woodland outdoorsy theme! I'm making my own invitation using GIMP (it is basically a free photoshop) it is awesome and I'm having so much fun! My computer savvy husband thinks that if I wanted to I could do web design! I told him I would think about it! I will post a picture of the invite when I'm done with it!
Who did you invite to your children's first birthday party? I feel like I have to invite a lot of miscellaneous family members (that sounds bad, but some of these people have never met Zach, they are like 2nd cousins of my mom and we are close to some but not all, I feel like if I invite the ones we are close to I should invite all so as not to cause friction) so I'm curious to know how some of you decided on whom to invite!
I have been reading blogs but I rarely write! I have been running my butt off trying to make friends and get my confidence levels up. I'm doing okay on that journey but I still have a lot of work to do! I'm thinking about seeing a therapist to help me over the hump and to deal with some residual hurt over the fact that my dad and I haven't spoken and probably won't. It is hard to think that your parent doesn't care about you. Ugh! I hope that I never slip up with Zach, it is a big fear of mine! I just always want him to know I love him! I will probably go the extreme opposite and smother him with love! Poor thing :)
Hopefully I will be back sooner so I don't write another book!
