Sorry about the lack of updates lately; Zeke and Stazi's Grandma was visiting from Seattle, so we were kind of preoccupied for awhile there. Her visit went very well, and we all miss her. (Well, Keith and I and Zeke miss her; Stazi misses her as much as it is possible for an 8-month-old baby to miss anything. Definitely nobody has a lap that is as nice for sleeping on as Grandma's was, though; that's for sure.)
In other news, I gave Zeke some drawing paper and markers yesterday -- you know, to try and channel his artistic impulses somewhere other than our furniture and walls -- and he drew a letter "Z". All by himself, too! I said, "Zeke, can you tell me what your drawing is?" and he looked at me like I was stupid and said, "Z, Mommy!"
Not to be outdone by her big brother, Stazi has recently started crawling, which, to paraphrase my brother-in-law, means that there is a whole world of new dangerous stuff that she can get into. She's also babbling, and of course what she mostly babbles is "Dadadadadadadadadada." Keith tries not to look too smug about this.
