So today you get a post all about ZANE!
There are so many things from this stage of life that I don’t want to forget. This is a great stage. We have not hit the “terrible three’s” yet…(although I think we are close) and he is just so funny! He is learning new things everyday and yet, I still see “baby Zane” in him.
Like last night. I don’t think he was feeling well. At one point he was standing in our living room crying. Just standing there. I picked him up and sat down on the couch with him. He was asleep in minutes. The rest of my night went on hold from that point forward…I just enjoyed that sweet time with him!
This is probably normal for any kid this age (it was with Jaxen too) but Zane loves baths. He could take one multiple times a day. Whenever he is fussy, a bath will normally help and the tone is changed after that!
Zane will drink milk non-stop. He loves milk. I’m glad he likes it, but man, we can go through the milk with that kid!
Although his appetite has increased some in the last week, he does not eat much throughout the day. And he will almost always choose vegetables over meat. However, he will choose french fries over anything, anywhere, anytime (as most of us would!).
Zane loves me, but adore his daddy. There for awhile, I would be sitting in a chair with Zane and when Nik walked in and sat down, Zane would get off of me, take my blanket and climb up with Nik. True story. It’s better now…now he wants to sit with me some and loves when I cuddle with him first thing in the morning and in the evening. He say “Sit on me, mom”. That means, he wants to sit in my lap.
Zane loves to sing and dance. My favorite is when he is in the bath and I can hear him singing! We sing lots of silly songs like “Baby Shark”, “Daddy Finger”…etc. And he loves dancing to these certain Dino Music Videos (I don’t remember the name) and the fun “Pop See Ko” and “All I Eat is Pizza" videos off You Tube.
Zane has never been a great sleeper - however he is sleeping more consistently at night. He will now only wake up 1-2 times. He rarely climbs in my bed anymore in the middle of the night and ever since we stopped naps, he goes to bed much easier and at a better time. He still naps every now and then, but overall, we are done with naps.
I mentioned before that Zane loves milk. If he asks for milk and you don’t get up and get it (in his time) he will open the fridge and carry the whole gallon of milk to you, with his cup! It makes me laugh. He always says “heavy” when he hands it to you. He can even carry a full gallon (although once he dragged it down the stairs and I was so worried I would have to clean up the biggest milk spill ever - thankfully I stopped him before that happened!).
While we were working on our house (more than we are now) we visited Home Depot a lot. Now, Zane loves Home Depot. It probably helped that they had all their Christmas stuff out (especially the huge inflated Christmas characters). He would ask to go there all the time. My favorite though is how he said Home Depot. It was more like “Ho-De-Toe” and it is too cute!
We have reclining couches downstairs and Zane thinks his job in life is to put the recliner (leg part) out. It is so frustrating when I pick up down there, put all the couches down and start vacuuming just to around and have them all out again!
I mentioned before that Zane loves vegetables. Especially carrots and raw broccoli. Here lately though every time I get him a bowl of baby carrots he wants it warmed up in the microwave because they are too cold. No joke. And if I don’t do it - he will pull a chair over, climb up, open and close the microwave and hit buttons until it starts. Nik caught him microwaving popcorn before (in the plastic sleeve, still).
Zane loves any kind of ball. And any kind of truck. He will play with them for a very long time, and be so happy. I recently unpacked 4 “big” trucks he got for Christmas last year and he has had a blast playing with them again!
Zane also loves dinosaurs. He watches Dino shows, plays with plastic dinos, wears dino clothes, sleeps with dinos, reads book about them and even pretends he’s one of them! Which is fine, except when he scares little kids because he will walk up to them, look them in the eye and “rooooaaaaar”. Poor kids. Zane just wants them to play along! Some of them cry and run to their mommy.
And that is Zane for you! He is a blessing to me and is the perfect fit for our family. He keeps me on my toes but keep me laughing too. He is so sweet and funny and you can’t help but to smile when he’s around!
Oh and when you ask him what his name is, he says “Zaney bo”. Oops :)
