zeph at 10 mos

Our little Z is already 10 months (I gave up trying to keep track of how many weeks he is long a go).  I can't believe how fast time is going.  I know I keep saying that, but it's true.  His first birthday is only 2 mos away!  He is starting to change so much and it's hard to soak it all up when W is his big brother. 

Zeph's Stats

weight: 19 lbs, 6.5 oz

height: 28.25"

hair: a bit of fuzz

eyes: blue

Nicknames

Z, Zeph, Little Bro, Pecker (not so much anymore, when he was a baby he would peck at whomever was holding him looking to eat), Budha Belly, Big Baby

Favorite Food:  

Just about anything he can eat, he's not picky.  He likes to think he is eating whatever we are eating.  He seems to notice when he is given something else.  We have to be sneaky, since he only has 2 teeth so that limits what he can eat.

Activities

- chewing on everything

- "talking" to nobody in particular

- doing the Zeph (I will have to get a video of this-he pulses his arms and legs at the same time, it's too cute)

- giggling or laughing a lot

- throwing toys or food on the floor and than wanting you to pick it up to do all over again 
- quacking and screaming, he is really finding his words 
- feeding Zed (he throws his food, when he is done, onto the floor-it sucks when Zed doesn't like the offering)

Likes

- balloons

Dislikes

Skills

- recently has started to move. His teachers call his movement the inchworm.  He's becoming dangerous.  He really likes to explore.
- claps

- started waving good bye
- eating, it is crazy how fast he can clean his tray
