Well, our little guy is officially MOBILE!  Out of the blue one day, he started crawling and is now a mobile machine. He will speed crawl as fast as possible to go after everything. He LOVES to chase the cat and dogs. It entertains him forever and the pets are learning to move quickly if they want to avoid a big sloppy kiss and hug from Zeb.

In addition to crawling, he also started taking his first few steps. I think he's a ways off from actually walking, but he certainly gets a kick out of balancing and walking between Jimmy and I.  He's pulling up on everything imaginable now too....including his mama.  Just the other day we went to get him in the morning and he was hanging over the side of his crib, giggling and banging his pacifier against the rails. Holy heart attack!

Zeb is definitely ALL BOY and I love it! He is rough and tumble, especially now that he can move. We've acquired a few bumps and scrapes along the way. He loves to smack to toys together to make loud noises, use his hands to hit the table/floor/whatever. Diaper changes are a challenge lately....he wants to roll/crawl/squirm away and won't stay put for too long.

My favorite thing this month other than crawling is him dancing. We think he picked it up from my mom, but the kiddo loves loves loves to dance. Anytime he hears music, he starts wiggling back and forth. It is absolutely adorable and he does it all the time.

We celebrated Zeb's first Thanksgiving this month too.  We had a wonderful time with our families and Zeb got to try turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, pie, and green beans. He liked it all.  He even got his first ride on the 4-wheeler down at my parent's farm.

Zeb has learned how to play "ball".  We'll sit across from him and roll the ball into his lap, he grabs onto it and pushes it back at us.  Definitely a fun game to play!

He has also taken a liking to drinking right from a water bottle. He's kind of skipped the sippy cup step (isn't a big fan), but loves water from a bottle.
