I'm a "Wee bit Irish"


His Mother's maiden name is McPherson you know! Happy St. Patricks day!  While we won't be partaking in Green eggs and ham (and green milk) or green bagels for that fact (thanks for all the wonderful memories mom), I did get in the spirit and dressed my little irish lad up in a spiffy green outfit.  We put it on the afternoon before the big day so we could take some good pictures while the weather was nice.  He'll wear it to school tomorrow.

More separation anxiety this month.  Apparently this isn't uncommon around this stage as they learn to walk and explore a little with more independence, still wanting reassurance from Mom that everything is "Ok."  He gets a little upset when I drop him off at daycare, and has become increasingly upset with Adam taking care of him at night with his bedtime routine.  While he's fine with me holding him and reading a book before bed, he throws a tantrum if Daddy tries to do it.  While it is sad to watch him get so upset, it does reassure me that he feels secure and bonded with his Mommy.

No new words this month, but plenty of new teeth. He's got six teeth now, three on the bottom, and four on the top. We got him a little play lawnmower and he's had a great time pushing that around.  The snow finally melted this month, so we've been able to play outside and running around on the driveway is his newest favorite thing to do.  He's not so steady on the grass yet so he can't appreciate it the way he can the driveway and garage! 

He's growing so fast. Zach will be sleeping on a cot in  the toddler room at daycare for the first time tomorrow...can't wait to see how that goes.
