Well, it's official: Zach is mobile! He started crawling about a month ago (he was 8 months old at the time), and is now probably the world's fastest little guy on four....appendages?
Anyway, since he has become so mobile, he goes wherever he wants, which is usually wherever Johnny is. It's actually pretty cute to watch him try to keep up with his big brother - I think that may actually be why he's so fast. Either that, or he's learned how to teleport. If we open a door to outside, he's right there within 3 seconds, no matter where he was in the house!
The real problem with Zach's newfound mobility is that Johnny's little moments of trouble are now twice as bad. He has the ideas, and Zach follows right along! It's a dangerous combination. We know if there's a long period of silence, there's probably been some sort of disaster: a purse relieved of its contents, a new technological something or other thrown in the toilet, a dirty diaper being chewed on, something small (you name it) lodged in Zach's cheeks (yes, he has a few chipmunk qualities), all the movies from the bottom shelf opened up and strewn across the living room, and the list goes on. I have to admit, aside from the frustration and messes, I really do love the spice that these two bring into our lives!
Another quick Johnny-ism that makes me smile - he now communicates if he has a problem. He'll come to me and say, "Uh-oh," and proceed to drag me across the house to find one of his cars stuffed too far under the bed, a fruit snack stuck in the air vent, etc. I love it! Every day brings a new adventure, and I just couldn't be more thankful that these two little hoodlums are MINE!
