busy bee

We had a busy weekend that involved moving a lot of furniture around... and then we realized we went over a full week without a blog post!  Gasp.  Zane's 20 weeks and 3 days old today .  He definitely likes hanging onto his cute fat baby feet a lot still, as you can see above, but he hasn't had any encore performances of the big roll over.  He does seem awfully close to being able to roll from his back to his front also.  He swings his legs from side to side and can roll all the way onto both sides.  He even managed to spin himself completely perpendicular in his crib one day by swinging his legs a few times.  He's been pretty talkative lately too, and it seems like he's trying hard to start mimicking some of the sounds we make.

Zane got his first taste of summer in Seattle this past weekend... finally!  Although it's disappeared again today, the weatherman promises it's coming back later this week.  Normally summer in Seattle means cloudless blue skies and temperatures in the 70s and low 80s.  Recently it's been in the low 60s and still rainy... then late last week it hit the 90s for a few days, just in time for our neighborhood summer street festival.  So Zane got to stroll along with us and do some good people watching, and then he got to see his dad's favorite part of summerfest - the food! 

That's right, Zane's starting to get really interested in watching us eat.  He even thinks it's a little funny sometimes, but he's been really curious in general.  We've been trying to make a better effort of eating dinner with him before he goes to bed, and we're really excited because we get to start introducing him to solid foods soon now that he's old enough and showing interest.  The plan is to try out some rice cereal next weekend for the first time.  It should be pretty exciting, even if he spits it right back out at us. :)

Good night for now... oh, one last important note... Zane wishes his Great Grandma a very happy birthday!!!
