Making up for lost time - new pictures and videos!

Well folks -

It's been a busy couple of weeks.

Cousin James and Crystal came over a couple of weekends ago and we headed out to Galveston and showed Zachary what (brown) water looks like...we'll show him the pretty Pacific this summer...

Last week Zachary had his first illness and first trip to the Emergency Room at Texas Childrens Hospital. Zachary had Bronchiolitis which is caused by a virus, thankfully it was not caused by RSV (he gets shots to help prevent RSV). He had really bad asthma with his illness and a loose cough, low grade fever and a runny nose. He was working really hard to breathe so he saw Dr. Gray last Tuesday and then he got worse so we called Dr. Gray on Tuesday night and she sent us to the ER. He now has a nebulizer and a puffer to use as needed. He was on steroids and is doing much better now. He saw Dr. Gray today and he grinned and flirted with her like usual. PHEW!

Gamma Marla came to town this weekend (for a scheduled visit, not because he was sick) and we had a great low-key weekend. Zachary got lots of TLC! On Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for Cousin Ashton's ninth birthday. He was so surprised and we all had a great time!

New tricks: reaching for people, crying when Mommy or Daddy leave the room, playing better independently, beating on his new toy drum (with both hands), going from a sitting to a laying position. Lots of new tricks!

That's the news for the week. Here are LOTS of pictures and videos to make up for lost time. Enjoy!

Omg! That last video made me laugh so hard!!!! He is just absolutely adorable. So glad to hear he's better. I sent you a txt, not sure if you got it. He's such a strong boy, pulling himself to his knees and sitting up so straight!!! Can't wait to see you guys. We need to take Brinson to Galveston, looks like Z loved it!
