A Lefty?

I don't even know if you spell it Lefty? or Leftie? I don't know how in the world he might even be one. My own theory goes that since he was breach for so long, maybe some of his teeth got stuck up top (only has four) (along with his balls - that we're still waiting for - which is another story) AND somehow his hand preference also got turned around? Is that possible? I know ... too early to tell but I'm not kidding - I give this guy a cracker and he switches from his right to his left to put it in his mouth. If you give him a ball - left hand; definitely his preference for now. Here is proof.

Surfing

Sometime's we get a little stir crazy in the house and Zach thought up a new game. He "surfs" the big waves in our living room. He's getting pretty good at it! And for all you worriers out there, don't fret, he is in the middle of the room clear of the table and wall that he looks so close to!

Cousin Isabel's 1st Birthday

I think it was the only nice Saturday we have seen in months! Anyways, we had a great time celebrating with friends and family! Happy First Birthday Isabel!

So Proud

We had a parent - teacher conference for Zach last week at his preschool. We were actually kind of worried going into it. Zach has had an interesting year. I have to give him credit - we yanked him out of his old school that we went to since we was only 5 months, moved him 2 hours away into a new house and gave him a little brother to steal away all his attention. Often times, we would wonder Geez. What happened to our sweet Zachy ... we knew he was there somewhere behind all the craziness. And then we would take a step back and remember, we kind of turned his life upside down.

So, we went to the conference and heard nothing but rave reviews including "what an asset" the additon of Zach was to his class. We asked about fits ... (NONE), We asked about his vocabulary .. (VAST), he plays nice, he laughs, he speaks well, he is well behaved. I could go on and on. We are so proud of him! We celebrated at home with Pizza, Ice cream and funny faces!!

Almost a Year .. Really??

Seriously, I don't want to do this blog. I am starting to be selfish, I want to give him every bottle, I want be the one to put him to sleep every night. I want to just hold him all the time - and he just wants to play ... 11 months!

Preschool Mother's Day

Zach invited me to school one morning to celebrate Mother's Day. I know the kids plan a lot of suprises and make art projects whenever they invite us to their class. So, on Monday that week I explained how excited I was to visit with him and I asked him what he was planning? He just looked at me point blank and said "Mama, I can't tell you - it is a suprise." And seriously, he wouldnn't tell me what he made, what we were doing or practice any of his songs around me. It kinda makes me nervous that he is capable of keeping a secret so well at such a young age! It was also so cute that several of the mom's (of the girls) told me how much their child talks about Zach. I say its funny because when I ask him about who he plays with. he always tells me that he does not play with any girls. I guess he is playing hard to get.

Mother's Day

This past Sunday was Mother's day. Randi and I took out our mothers on the days prior, but, on Sunday, we decided to spend Mother's day in Malibu with just the four of us - at Beachcomber. The forecast for Sunday, especially the beach, was not looking good and we almost didn't go. However, we sucked it up and hoped for the best. Well, the day was perfect. Happy Mother's day to my beautiful wife. We love you!
