Vacation and more Milestones!

Zakry got his first tooth last week. The other bottom one is about to come in any day also. He's also very very close to crawling. He can pretty much gets to whatever he wants with some determination and I'm certain any day he's going to be crawling all over the house. He gets up on all fours and rocks and scoots, but I have yet to see him actually crawl but he's getting there. Nena and Pappa said they saw him crawl for sure. So i'm sure it will be any day.
Rob and I left Saturday for vacation. The kiddos stayed with Nena and Pappa and we headed to Hannibal MO. We got to the hotel and went swimming for a bit. And then around 9pm we went driving around. We saw a cinema and decided to see a movie. We watched Angels and Demons and didn't get back to the hotel until 1am! This was definitely something that hasn't happened in a LONG time! We never get to just jump in the car like that and do whatever we want. So nice!
Sunday we went to Mark Twain Lake and Rob's uncle and aunt brought their boat up. We spent practically the whole day out on the boat. I couldn't have asked for a better day! It was so nice and relaxing. We even went tubing. I felt like a kid again! And it felt like Rob and I were just boyfriend/girlfriend again. Definitely was nice and refreshing and much needed!
My parents brought the kids up Sunday evening and we spent the next 2 days with them. Went swimming alot and sight seeing.
It was great. We are now home and I'm exhausted! :)

Milestones...

Well Zakry will be 8 months old tomorrow. It's crazy how fast time flies. When Morgan was 8 months old she was crawling all over and almost pulling up to a stand. Zakry has just mastered the whole sitting up thing and is pretty steady now. It's funny. Although he is a very hyper baby and he never wants to sit still, he hasn't been determined enough to crawl or even roll all over the floor for that matter. He can roll, but he doesn't really choose to roll to get to what he wants.
It's so funny how different him and Morgan are.
Anyway, I think that Zakry is very close to crawling. He sits on his bottom and he rocks himself until he either rocks to his belly or he rocks and scoots himself slowly across the floor. He can move several feet just by scooting on his bottom.
He also has figured out when he's laying down he can use his feet to push himself across the floor, whether he's on his back or his belly. He pushes his feet agains the floor and moves. This has all just started basically today.
So I can see crawling and walking in the very near future.
He really is a great baby. He's so fun and I really wouldn't mind it if he stayed this age forever. He's so fun and he's not into everything yet. It's great. To me it's the best age ever. :)
Morgan is at a great age too though. She listens pretty well and stays out of most things she knows she's not supposed to mess with and she's also very fun and of course is a blast to talk to. She's got the funniest things to say.
Well that's all for now.
