A little sponge....


Zachary continues to be a little sponge, soaking up all the things he hears and sees around him.  This week he started signing "help"--it is so funny to watch him do it--he puts his entire body into signing it! Last week when it was so hot, he started saying "hot day"  every time we got in and out of the car. He loves having the wind blow in his hair, especially if we are driving with the windows down in the car. He lifts up his hands and feels the breeze. So precious!

Mom and dad continue to be blessed with tons of hugs and kisses from Zach. We figure he must have been given lots of love in the orphanage and foster home. They taught him how to pass on that love. We are very thankful for that. Zachary gave some kisses to cousin Carter this week. He is fascinated by his soft baby skin! Zach didn't like it when Carter gave him a big wet slobbery kiss back though--not real found of the slobber apparently!

We went to the carousel in Des Moines over the weekend. Zachary was pretty scared. Not sure if it was the loud music or the animals. He had a tight grip on Daddy when we stood and watched other kids ride it. We didn't ride this time; maybe another time.

Today Zachary painted for the first time. He made a painting (using glitter glue and Qtip) of fireworks during his music class. He also got to play the cymbals in class, which he loved!

Have a safe and relaxing 4th of July!
