Zach-attack

I thought I might share a few things about Zach these days:




- He has incredible amounts of energy and is always moving.

- He is starting to talk really well and jabbers away all day. This works to his advantage because he can better boss us around constantly. He is a little parrot and repeats most of what we say.

- He loves the pool and the park: jumping, climbing, running, climbing, swinging on bars, climbing, sticks, climbing, rocks, climbing, rolling down hills, climbing, and somersaults...

- He is an awful sleeper and would much rather be snuggled in bed with Cal and I.

- He recently moved out of the crib and into his "big boy bed." He loves it and maybe once he's over this cold he'll sleep there all night....

- He's currently cutting his very last 2 molars.

- He is very empathetic and kind, and usually very good and happy.

- He is outgoing and he LOVES when family is around, or friends he knows well. I think his energy triples.

- He is a good helper and needs to be involved in whatever we are doing. He carries a stepstool around and says, "I help."

- He loves a lot of people, but is a momma's boy.

- He is 27 lbs. and 35.5 inches (tall and thin).

- He does really well with colors and shapes, and we are still (of course) working of numbers and letters.

- His favorite colors are blue and orange.


- He likes books, animals, trucks, friends, puzzles, football, outside, sidewalk chalk, toy horses, and movies.

-And one more thing:

Big brother huh? (wink, wink) Official blog style congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I was thinking once I get a chance to stay home for a while I should come visit you and your kiddos. We could take them to the park and let them, oh I don't know...climb :)
