New tricks!

Just like a dog, Zachy is learning all kinds of tricks. He has learned to climb, like the little monkey he is. If he can't climb onto something, he'll push a toy over and climb up on the toy til he climbs onto what he was trying to. His new favorite activity is to climb up on the couch, then fall off (hands first) onto the blanket and pillow pile on the floor. All the while, giving mommy a heart attack.

He also has really started to totally understand what we are saying to him (ot at least letting us know that he understands). "Zachary, lets change your diaper." Prompts a run to the changing table and a giggle because he knows he's going to give mommy a hard time. "Zachary are you hungry?" (When isn't the boy hungry?) Prompts a run to the refrigerator and attempts to pull it open. Thankfully he can't open it yet. "Zachary, do you want a bath?" He runs to the stairs and tries to pull down the gate. He is more fun everyday and is constantly making us laugh (when he isn't making me pull my hair out!)

Joshua and I had an in depth conversation about Mars today. We argued about whether people could live on Mars! He says, "NO mom, they would burn up as they entered the atmosphere." Where does he get this stuff? The boy reads too much! (Is that possible?) Could have worse issues.
