Mischievous Zachariah

It must've been overnight that Zachariah turned from being such a sweet angel to this very naughty boy.

At 8+ months, all of a sudden, my little boy knows how things work & knows that he can choose what he wants/like or dislike all at the expense of his poor parents... sigh..!

So here are a list of all the naughty things he does:

1) He's realised that water doesn't taste good & now no longers wants to drink water from his bottle (but only milk of course)
2) He hates it when we change him on the changing table & always flips over to his tummy. Now this is a nightmare when he has poo smothered on his bottom half.. it's such a horrifying scene! I even have to put a new nappy on him with his bottom facing me!
3) He doesn't allow me to pick his nose any more (which makes it extremely hard when he's having blocked nose because a huge gooby is stuck in his nose) so now I have to use those sucker thingies from the pharmacy or saline drops
4) He doesn't allow me to cut his nails.. another headache when I'm trying to do this without accidentally poking him
5) He won't allow any of us leave the room when he's playing. We MUST at all times watch him play otherwise he would cry & throw his tantrums
6) He hates it when we take him out of his bath & wrap in his towel on the changing table. He will once again cry & throw his tantrums..
7) I think the naughtiest of all is his sleeping habit. Nowadays, he would sleep for a max 5 hours (6 if we're lucky) and would always wake up at around 1-2am & cries non-stop for us to come & get him to be placed in our bed. Of course we have stopped this already but I think it's too late cos he would just cry every single hour of the night and sometimes lie on his tummy crawling in his cot unable to put himself back to sleep again. It's been like this for the past 2 weeks now. Please pray for him that he would sleep through the night as Mr M & I are always looking like zombies every day (esp since I have to work full time at work). God give us strength! I hope my little boy will turn into an angel again... haiz...
