We're just another friendly neighborhood Zeller family.
Here's some pics, vids, and short thoughts from our two kiddo's comings and goings.

Sweet potatoes everywhere

His fascination for sucking on his hands makes for messy (and a little
frustrating) meal times. But he has fun! I'm just glad he finally ate
some veggies!

Does this make me the Sr Trail Guide?

I love these two.

He likes the taste of the chair more than the banana

Judson enjoys his special time with Scott. This is what I saw when I pulled into the parking lot as I was coming home from my afternoon class.

Feeling better!

Judson's feeling a lot better these days! Back with 2x the enegy even.

No more swaddle?!

Since J is feeling better and seems to be back to his normal self (except for a little coughing now and then), I thought I'd experiment with putting him to bed without swaddling him. He's never taken a nap or been put to bed without being tightly bound in a swaddle blanket. But he's a big boy now, and we have to stop it sooner or later.

So...I tried it....and he talked to himself for about an hour, sucked his hands, created puddles of drool..and he must have wiggled alot because he is far from his pacificer. But then he fell asleep...no crying! Hmmm....i wonder if it will be that easy to drop the swaddle? Or maybe he was just extra tired from a fun day of playing with Mala (Grandma Z) and Aunt Hannah. He might wake up at 2 am screaming, wondering what is going on with all this freedom.

These pics were taken on the same night. At first he was in the brown pajamas. But since it actually worked and he fell asleep, I realized he probably needed warmer pajamas (since he isn't also wrapped in the fleece swaddle). So yes, I was a mean mom and switched his pajamas. And i even turned on the light to take these pictures. But he didn't seem to care, because as you can see from the second pic, he was out cold in just a few min the second time.

Thanks for putting up with all of my "mommy" ramblings. He is just growing up so fast! I'm trying to capture every little change before he changes again!
