Bazaar-O..

Bazaar-O world. Look what I found at the fancy supermarket, selling at $4.75 for the pint, and $16 for the gallon.

And what kind of 9month old, almost 10, has this kind of bed head!

How much fun?

How much fun is a 9month old who is teething? Not much. But look at his shining new tooth!

Hey I want that!

Week of Firsts!

HE'S CRAWLING!!!! Yest our little man is all grown up, he can get from one end of the room to the other, when he wants of course. Let me give you the play by play,
Saturday he was up on all fours and would move each limb once then down he went, (this was enough to pull over a pot of cold oil I had left in a bad spot.
Sunday each limb twice then down he went
Monday/ Tuesday he was off, not so much a bolt of lightning or anything, but he was definitely mobile.
He is far less frustrated, and now can appease his own appetite for curiosity without my help.

HE HAS A TOOTH! Bottom tooth definitely showing.

HE IS NOW ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF, quite often, UP TO STANDING. So now this first time mother in one week has had to learn to reach radius of her son from both reaching, sitting, and now standing. Such the big boy!

BABY'S GOT HIS FIRST PAIR OF SHOES! Maybe not so mileston'ish but cute! A little less cute then girls baby shoes, but cute non the less. He didn't much care for them, but he was not able to pull them off.

Baby it's cold outside

The rain has started and the cooler weather has blown in. Now for the most part the weather here is great, but the winter is awful. It starts raining and without central heat and cement block buildings it just gets cold. Zaky also is surrounded by women who constantly tell his mother to put more clothes on him, not because of the cold, but because of the wind. Wind apparently carries all sorts of germs and diseases I was unaware of. But after living with them I have started to change my attitude, and begun to go out thinking " it is cold, better bundle him up". So, with the neighbors help, I have created my own little cotton ball.

McDonalds

McDonald's overseas tastes better then in America, and McDonald's ice cream cones are just as good. When Zaky was 5 months he would lick a little ice cream from our finger, 6-7 months he would touch his lips to it, 8 months old he would hold his mouth open and touch, now at 9 months he just goes for it!

Never to early

When my mom was here nothing was off limits for Zaky, he was free to explore and play with anything. He loved watching my mom brush her teeth. And she figured out if he wants something bad enough he will move for it, i.e. lean as far over as possible, almost crawl, fall onto his stomach, then reach with all his might. Unfortunately the objects that get him moving the quickest are things such as knives, cups of coffee, the computer. But fortunately not all things are off limits, we now brush our teeth together. He most often sucks the other side, but hay, like reading better to get him off to an early start.

The Next Generation

The reigns have been passed, the saddle readjusted. The next generation of horse has stepped in and the new generation of riders has grabbed on. Also update on his cold, no suction necessary since Sunday, whoo hoo.

Happy Halloween

His first Halloween, no cute costume, but festive none the less! Thank you Aunt Lisa...
