Brilliant!

Our little Zachary Ryan is brilliant! Brilliant, I tell you! At not yet a year he has figured out how to get where he wants, no height is too high! I was coming around the corner and caught our genius at work. He had pushed the small fire safe in front of the chair and found it to be not quite tall enough, so he knocked over the breast pump case, which is hard plastic and slid it front of the arm chair, which was the obstacle at hand and climbed up on top the case and into the chair, and perched himself like a king on his throne, arms on the arm rests. It was so cute to watch his little amazing mind at work! When he realized he had an audience, the biggest smile came over his face, I wished I had thought to grab my camera to capture the double-dimple grin!

Here is a fact about Zach that you may not know, most babies are soothed by the sound of a wind-up twinkle-twinkle or a lullaby, not our babe, when he gets fussy and fed up with being in his car seat or is just so tired he can't stand it, but he doesn't want to sleep, put on a little Aerosmith and in a split second that sweet child is quiet as can be and will fall asleep if that's the problem, but if he's just fed up with the car ride he'll start to sing along! "Sweet Emotion" seems to be his favorite so far!
