nursing musing
Tonight after Zan's bath we were laying in bed nursing. It was wierd because after a while he had switched to that comfort suck but he was still awake with his eyes wide open staring at me. Then he proceeds to shove his hand in my mouth and feel my teeth. And I'd take his hand out, kiss it and try to redirect. Then we'd repeat this cycle. Eventually he went back to nursing suck and fell asleep. It was cute.

update
Zander went to the doc on Monday, he weighs 22 pounds!!
Zander commando crawls now. That boy can move when he wants something. Things he is drawn to: tv remotes, cell phones, daddy's shoes, daddy's guitar, the cat, money.
Tonight Zander and Vinnie were laying on the bed and Zan scooted his way over to Vinnie and put his mouth on him. ummm, gross. Zan loves to put his mouth on anything. I had to go to work early because I had to go downtown for a class, so I left before Doug & Zan. Doug said he was sitting on the bed putting on his socks and shoes and Zander scooted over, pulled himself on his knees and started licking his back and putting his mouth all over Doug's back. Doug said he was soaked! haha, Zander also will put his mouth on my tummy and I say "That's where you used to live until you grew big enough to be born!" :-)
Zander sees his cousin Jacey all the time and he is FASCINATED. He really wants to touch her, so I'll take his hand and let him touch her leg gently because she is still tiny.

Zander updates
Zander's teeth have sprouted! You can see them now and you can definitely feel them - they are sharp! Zander is constantly sticking his tongue out to feel them. Even Uncle Marty and Auntie Colby noticed how much he's been sticking his tongue out lately.
Zander has such a love for music. He started hitting his toy drum last week so we started putting the bongos in front of him and he loves them! He get's excited when he sees them and just loves to jam out on his drums. He can hit with both hands but he usually hits with his right while scratching with his left.
Last night Doug brought home an acoustic bass from the studio. Zander was so excited when Doug showed it to him this morning. Doug put it in Zan's room so Vinnie wouldn't bother it and while I was changing Zander on the bed I let him check out the bass. He loved it! He kept hitting it and then he'd pull on a string and get so excited.
When Doug came home the two of them sat on the floor with their instruments and it was so cute. Doug played the bass and Zander would hit his drums. Then Zander would just sit and watch Doug all fascinated with the music. Then he'd hit the bass or try to pull the string. At one point Doug rolled back and laid on the floor playing the bass, then Zander decided to lay back just like Daddy right next to him.
He's such an amazing person these days. He is so insistent in pulling himself up to stand. And he loves to "walk" if you'll help him. He does a great job of stepping with each foot. Doug thinks he'll skip crawling and go right to walking.

We went to LLL last night and in an effort to crawl and chase after the toddlers Zander did 2 faceplants straight into the carpet, that = a screaming, hard to console child.
His teeth are just about popping through. I thought I saw something and felt something yesterday. Then at LLL one of the other moms was holding Zan while I went to the restroom and she's like "I see them!" she could see his teeth. Well, the are sharp and coming through now and he bit me with the first time with them, lovely.
