Gifts Under the Tree

Zane was helping us put gifts under our tree. He did really well eventually but here are two of his first tries.

Scary Santa

We really didn't expect Zane to freak out when seeing Santa, but we were wrong. He seemed OK at first, so good that I thought I could get away with taking away his "boppies" (blanket). I was wrong about that too! He kept saying "Santa" through his crying and never let up enough to get a happy picture. Oh well, we tried.

Five Generations

Zane is lucky enough to have two great-great grandparents still alive. This is a picture of Zane, me, my mom Jodi, her dad Joe, and her dad's mom Gladys. We call Zane's great-great grandparents Granny and Gramps and they are 97 and 95.

Mini Photo Shoot

We just thought Zane looked extra cute this day, so went crazy on pictures. I think I took about 10 of him that day, maybe more. Here are a few.

Four New Completely Random Videos

This first video is Zane just having fun playing in the snow for the first time. He says snow... sometimes it sounds like ss-no and sometimes it just sound like no. He was so restless that day, we had to take him out at night in the dark for our own sanity!

The second video is of Zane watching a clip from Sesame Street online of Elmo trying to scare Julia Roberts. Every time Elmo is about to scare her, Zane anticipates it and then giggles a bunch.

This third video is a weird thing that Zane does that is basically one of my favorite things ever. For some reason, he bites his Veggie Tales characters, and not his other toys. He started doing it on his own and now does it when we ask him to also. It's almost like he knows they are vegetables or something, but I love how his whole body shakes and how he always bites with no hands. He also knows their names and at the end he's singing "Veggie Tales."

The last video is Zack and Zane playing with bubbles. The gasp was just too cute to pass up. He also blew a few of his own bubbles.

Singing

Zane is getting so good at singing along with songs now. In the first one, he's singing "Wild Wild West" which is from the end of one of the Elmo's World videos. It's to the tune of Jingle Bells, so he doesn't quite have it, but is getting there. The second one is him singing along with a Veggie Tales song called, "Busy." He just says "busy" over and over and he starts singing it right when he hears the first note before the words even start.
