Is time crawling?

No way! Time is flying! But Zane is beginning to crawl.

Zane is 7 months now. He can move forward on his knees, just not very far yet. He's still mastering the rocking motion and gets up often in the night and stays up most of the day to practice. I took video but unfortunately it ended with Zane doing a face plant onto the hardwood floor and me running to his aid. Makes me too sad to share. :( We might laugh later.

He's doing really well. He's mastering the sippy cup and pulling toys off shelves, when his sister allows him to. He's doing all he should be. With Vanessa I would sit down and just type everything I could think of, but with Zane, my brain doesn't stretch that far when I'm ready to post on the blog. Even so, he keeps us in constant amazement. He likes car rides now (he even falls asleep easily in the car now) and loves to go places to people watch. He gets bored more easily than Vanessa and wants an audience to watch him do tricks. I love the way he flashes his sweetest grin throughout each and every day. My sweet, sweet boy . . .

Additional favorite 7-month mentionables: I love Zane's kisses. Yesterday he leaned over and gave Vanessa a huge open-mouth kiss. So sweet. And I love how when he finds he's making an interesting sound with his mouth, he continues to make it to entertain himself -- from pressing one nostril closed for a whistling sound to blowing raspberries in the air or on the floor. I love the way he caresses my face or lands softly on me to cuddle and sleep. And I love to watch him figure out his role in the house as the other male. :) Daddy, he has nothing on you! ;-)
