I love My Dada

Love Much

"Oh My Gosh"

Wanted to update the latest in the life of Zackary. He continues to fill our hearts everyday with love and laughter. Especially now watching him with Emeline...it's precious. He really does love her and he helps with whatever he can from giving her a bottle to being right there every step of the way in changing her diaper, waking her up and giving me quiet alone time while she naps still in my arms. He wipes her drool, gives her pacifier back to her and really is an outstanding big brother. He is asking to hold her more and more, and is reacting as much when she cries. He is seeing that in his day to day life he still gets so much love and attention from us while still giving Emeline her love too.

We have taken out all of Zackary's old saucers and toys from storage and put them together. He cracked me up the other day when he wanted to get in his saucer and play like Emeline does now. I told him he was to big but he didn't believe me...so he saw for himself! LOL

And he had to check out Emeline's crib as well to make sure it was comfortable for her...it passed! Don't they just break your heart.
Some fun things Zackary is doing now...
He's talking so much more...and has funny sayings like, "Oh My Gosh" if he sees something he wants and he says please for everything which makes it really hard to say no..."Mommy please come in!" with exaggeration...
He is eating like a champ (quesadillas, chicken, turkey meatballs, anything with cheese in it, tofu dogs, pizza, burgers, veges, all fruits minus avocado and kiwi now, and his new favorite are chocolate covered raisins which he calls black raisins).
He is sleeping 10-12 hours at night (6:30-6:30) and a 2 hour nap from 12-2 during the day.
He's asking more and more to go pee pee in the pody-way more aware lately of his bowels which is a good sign.
He is still infatuated with balls, pine cones, cars, water and strawberries.
New infatuations: bees, buses, street sweeper and worms.
He loves to watch sports with Ben but he calls "white ball"-golf "orange ball" -basketball and he says baseball. At night with dinner he wants to listen to "daddy and mommy musica." He speaks Spanish sometimes! Favorite song of ours he sings-Bryan Adams-Summer of 69.-so funny.
If I turned on the Toni Awards for him he would love every minute with all the dancing and music.
Favorite book right now is I Think I Can-the train book.
Horrible-he's still using his pacifier...and he's in love with it and his burp cloth. In agreeance with his dentist we are waiting for this difficult adjusting to Emme time is over and then it's bye bye paci.
Still regressing some from Emme's birth with loud noises and when other children are around but he's getting better.
I will update again at his 3rd birthday in 3 months!

Mommy Turns 35

Grandma taught Zackary to say, "Happy Birthday Mommy." He was saying it all day and it was the best sound...next to, "I love you Mommy."

My Birthday wish was all about you buddy...for your health, safety, strength, growth, happiness, and peace.

Um-as you can see he LOVED the cake...one lick after another after already eating his own piece!
