NEWS. the early achiever



We have completely forgotten to document on the blog two momentous occasions in the life of little Zbinden.

On September 3, little Z did his first flip! he is now officially flipping and rolling around the room. He's weird, cause he doesn't love to roll and take his time with it, he just flips backs and forth like a little trout out of water. When he's on his stomach he'll hold his head and upper body up so high, it looks like he's going to put his arms down and start crawling! I'll try to get a picture of it to post! I'd have to say that rolling over at three months is quite the little accomplishment. We have a genius (or an athlete) on our hands.

SECONDLY, and unfortunately, Zeb has gotten his first tooth. The pictures above are to illustrate his feelings about his first tooth. He's ticked and has decided to become a screaming banshee on occasion because of it. When he screams like he has this week it reminds me of his cousin Ethan(whose screams rival MANY screaming banshees) ,and I count my many blessings that he has only done it two or three times. The tooth is just surfacing and we have tried to get a picture of it as well. Getting that picture will be IMPOSSIBLE. We have only been able to pry open his mouth and move his tongue to just catch a glimpse of it, let alone having time to snap a photo.

Aww... yea for rolling, BOO to teething! May I recommend Hyland's homeopathic teething tablets (available at Walgreens). They saved my sanity with Auri! Good luck and good job Big Z!

Good job baby Z for rolling! He beat Ethan at getting any teeth. I'm not looking forward to teething-he doesn't cry as much as he used to-but teething will diffinatly give me a screaming banshee. Ethan got up on all fours today and started rocking! I have a crawler coming soon.

Whoa Leisy! That is so crazy! I just love hearing your updates on Zeb and life in Ohio. You need to send some videos. I need to see you harassing your little child!

Good job Zebber! My kids never really rolled over much. So - that's a strange concept to me. Three months is pretty dang early for that, though, isn't it?

Despite the pain that teething creates - they are super cute once they're in. Can't wait for it to break through enough that it doesn't hurt so bad - so we can see his toothy grin.

What a sweetheart ... banshee cry and all! :)

Love the pictures of little Zeb - even the sad ones are so dang cute! He's a lot like his daddy was - two teeth at three months and getting mobile way too soon. Way to go Zeb!

He still have the frown when he cries- Poor little man-teething doesn't sound to good. He is becoming a little man. He is so dang cute! Good Job! Keep up the good work.
