Just Hangin'

I don't really have much to report lately. We have been hanging out these past couple of weeks. I am supposed to be taking care of kids four mornings a week but with sicknesses and vacations, it hasn't happened in almost three weeks. I think Zachary is getting sick of me :) He enjoys hanging out with other kids. There's only so much I can do to keep him busy! We do things like take walks, play in the snow, go to the store, play with water and play with his many toys. Yesterday while I was on the computer, I realized that I had not heard from him for a while. He is good at keeping himself busy but he's not usually so quiet. When I fould him, he was in the kitchen with a tootsie pop in his mouth. He had pulled out a drawer and found a bag of them. He thought he was so cool. I, of course, ran to get the camera.

We also take a Gymboree class once a week and he loves that. The babies are all around the same age so it's great for Zachary to interact with them. There's a lot of "Dadda, Mama, Baba" talk going on. It really is quite adorable.

Zachary is into playing ball lately. If you ask him to get his ball and give it to Mama, he'll do it. He's also walking most of the time now. He is still trying to figure out how to get from sitting/crawling to standing without using something for help. He'll stand up (using a wall, my leg or whatever) and walk around for a while until he falls. Then, he'll crawl to something that can help him stand and do it all over again. Such a big boy!

We are heading to NY this weekend for Zach's great grandmother's 80th birthday celebration. It should be a fun time. A lot of Zach's family will be there. His grandparents, aunt and uncle, great aunts and uncles, second cousins and of course his great grandmother and great grandfather. They haven't seen him since he was about 8 months old. He was a baby then. He's becoming more of a big boy each day. I'm happy they will get to see him!
