Dad took Zach for his 2 year check up and shots this week. He gained almost 4 pounds in less than 3 months. He is now 26.7 lbs and 32 inches tall. He can now reach the pedals on his tricycle but is still working on the coordination for pedaling. His feet have grown a lot in the last month, as his little toes now reach the very end of his stinky sandals (yes stinky--that's what happens to shoes when sweaty feet wear them!). Dr. Gavin just laughed when we asked how to get him to stop sucking his thumb. Apparently it is too soon to expect a toddler to give up the thumb, so we will just deal with it after surgery.
Zachary continues to love eating fruit! In fact he spit out the brownies that Aunt Marcia made him and requested grapes instead! He also prefers applesauce over ice cream!
We continue to spend a lot of time outside--in the sandbox, blowing bubbles, picking up sticks or rocks, and taking time to smell the flowers (or maybe blowing on the flowers with his nose).

Hey sweetie, so the surgery is moved up to next week? OK what can we do for you? Do they know how long Zach will be in the hospital after surgery? Can we get together on the 3rd or will it not work out? The boys mentioned Zach just the other day and how they want him to come visit and play at their house! They were looking at his picture we have on the fridge. Touch base with us when you know your plans....as always, our thoughts and prayers are with you all....Steph
