just the two (3) of us...

It's been a busy week!  Zane's dad has been out of town for work since Sunday morning, so Zane, Molly and I have been hanging out without back up.  It was an adventure getting both Molly and Zane ready before work when I usually just walk Molly before I go. The picture is from us walking Molly one morning before I took Zane to daycare and hopped on the bus to head to work.  Thankfully, he's getting back home tonight just before Zane's bedtime, so I don't have to be a single parent for the rest of the week!

Since apricots, Zane's added avocado, banana, sweet potato, and, most recently, apple to his menu.  Surprisingly, apples don't seem to be a big hit with him.  He kept shutting his mouth, smiling and turning his head away today, and yesterday he even spit a few spoon fulls out.  When he likes something, he practically lunges at the spoon with a wide open mouth. :)  I brought back the dreaded green beans today, and that went over much more smoothly than the last time.  Maybe he'll like apples better in a couple of weeks too. 

His new "trick" is sitting.  He's still very wobbly, but he can sit up for a couple of minutes before he topples over now.  He keeps getting better every day, and I'm a little jealous of his core strength - but if I did as many supermans and leg lifts as he does on a daily basis, I'd be doing pretty well!  Zane's also starting to scoot backwards and get his knees up under himself when he's on his belly.  It's only a matter of time before we can say he's mobile!  He's getting slightly more regular with his naps now (still 3 a day), and he's staying awake between naps for  2 1/2 hours now.  That's a big step from getting really cranky one minute past the 2 hour mark. :)  Now, if only I could figure out how to schedule a nap into my day every few  hours...
