We're back with another round of pictures of our favorite little guy! We're having trouble blogging these days because if we go on the computer, Zachary comes in and says "pbskids" which is his favorite website. If we tell him that we are going to blog, he says "Brinson" so we watch Brinson's blog, which he loves to watch. When we are done watching a video he says "again". We love this, but it doesn't make it easy to get the blog done!
Last week was Zachary's last week of gym class (for a semester). He has a very full schedule! He has started Kindermusik and also Daddy & Me Sunday school class at our Temple (Mommy is teaching a Sunday school class this year). He goes to the library for Toddler Time and he and Ms. Donna love going to re-sale shops to find small little treasures. Plus we try to schedule lots of play dates and shopping (especially at Kroger since they have a bell to ring for good service and he loves ringing that bell!!) and lately our schedule has included lots of visits to Dr. Gray. Our poor kiddo has had a rough couple of weeks illness wise, he's had pink-eye, an ear infection and some mysterious virus that has only one symptom, a high fever. Thankfully he's doing great due to the excellent care of Dr. Gray, Ms. Donna and Mommy and Daddy too.
He "graduated" from his Early Childhood Intervention. Developmentally he is caught up or ahead of where he should be!! We're so proud of him but it is bittersweet as we won't be seeing Ms. Mary or Ms. Thien anymore. They have helped him (and us) become the little man (seriously!) that he is today. Thank you ladies!
Zachary is now 22 pounds, 6 ounces and is 33 inches long. He continues to follow his own little curve on the growth charts which is what they like to see. His favorite things right now are anything Disney and stuffed animals. He loves us to read Dr. Seuss (and play with the corresponding stuffed animals) and he likes his legos. He loves to sing and imaginative play is his favorite. He talks to and for his stuffed animals and enjoys making us "scrambled eggs" in his kitchen.
Here's some pictures from The Little Gym, visiting with Brinson and helping Ms. Mary with her ECI paperwork, enjoy!

He loves the high beam!
Wheeeeeee!!!
See? He just loves it!

This is Zachary's favorite shirt, he wants to wear it 24/7.

We see you Zachary!
Sitting in circle - this was a rarity, usually he is much more interested in exploring!
Helping Ms. Mary with his "graduation" paperwork.
Now what does that shirt say again? Mommy & Daddy got these hats at Disneyland when they were engaged, but since they have Mickey Mouse ears, Zachary thinks they are fair game for him (and Brinson)!
Watching Brinson
Zachary loves Brinson's whole family. He loves talking about Lisa, Ned, Brinson and MeMe. Zachary has noticed Mommy and Daddy's rings and we explained that we got them when we got married. So, at some point over the last month he has said he was going to marry each one of them. "Marry Ned." "Marry Lisa", etc. so cute!
We tried and tried, but we couldn't get them both to look at us let alone look and smile!
Here's Zachary helping Ms. Mary
Here's a snippet of what we get to watch every day!!
Yes, it's been a month since we blogged and we are so sorry! The older Zachary gets the tougher it is to find time to get to the computer to blog. Anyway, we had a great time on our trip and here's some pictures for you to enjoy!(Remember you can click on each picture to see a bigger version of it)

Playing in the pool made Zachary hungry! It makes us wants a pool, he ate well afterwards!
Last week Donna and I took Zachary to the Kemah Boardwalk where they have concerts every Thursday evening during the summer. Mommy has been friends with some of the band members of the group A Rival for several years so we enjoyed letting Zachary meet the band and watch Tracy and Twitch perform. We went to see them last year and Zachary loved it just as much.

Loving the music and the water!
He was so focused on watching Tracy play the drums...
So over the weekend, we went to a friend's house for a play date, he saw that they had a drum set just his size!

We had such a great time. Thanks James and Crystal for letting us visit with you and for the incredible memories!
