Zach is 2 1/2 years old!

how have 7 months passed since this day?  

Sweet Zachary John,

What a big boy you are these days!  You're changing and growing and learning every day.  It's hard to keep up with you!

When you're awake, you're talking, asking questions, making comments and interacting with your world.  You're a bit of a parrot, thought you certainly speak you rmind!  Just the other day, you asked me, 'where's Jesus?' and soon after, when greeting Grumpy, you inquired, 'baby?' while patting his belly.

You continue to have a wonderful appetite for food and are willing to try anything we serve you!  You love to help me prepare meals and do much of your sampling then.  Fun foods that you've loved recently include: ribs, pizza, frozen yogurt, funnel cake and ice cream!

There are moments of sweetness between you and your 'budder' and we pray one day [soon] you will see him as a friend.

You are a born athlete, sweet Zach, and have loved every sport we've introduced to you.  Basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, baseball and golf are all sports you enjoy.  I'm sure you'd love anything, honestly.  You're a natural, fluid in your movements and excellent hand/eye coordination.  It's possible I'm biased. But only slightly.  ;)

Books and music continue to be a source of enjoyment.  You learn so much through reading and your favorite books (at the moment) are ones about Airplanes, our much beloved 'Pajama Time', Goodnight Moon, Skip to My Lou and The Letter Factory.

too-too tain!

one of your all-time favorite books

If I didn't mention how much you LOVE to be around other kids, then I'd be skipping such a big part of who you are!  It seems you are an extrovert!  You are certainly energized by being with others your own age or slightly older than you.  You are not shy at all!  You win everyone over with that big smile of yours.



Did I mention you rarely sit down?  You are almost in constant motion.  Your Aunt Joy noticed that while you were with your cousins, you either ran or hopped everywhere.  You are so much like your Uncle Brian, it's crazy!


We love you so, so, SO, SO, SO much sweet boy!

you are a miracle!
