A Month In Review

So I'm not sure what my deal has been lately, but I haven't been motivated to keep up our blog. It's not that I haven't been taking pictures (I downloaded 175 tonight), it just seems like I never get around to it. Part of the issue is that Zackary takes 2-3 hours naps a lot of days, which pushes his bedtime later. This isn't a bad thing because we get to spend more time with him, but it cuts down on the usual activities I do after he has gone to bed (like updating the blog).

Today we went to a local Petting Farm. There were many different animals but the bunnies were the only ones Zackary would actually "pet". I think their size made them more appealing, plus he got to open up the doors to their cages and reach inside! What more could a two year old ask for.

We also went to the park. We're enjoying this park because it has a play set for 2-5 year old children. Zackary usually tells me to "sit" (on the bench) since he's comfortable playing on his own because everything is the right size for him! Works for me.

I hope to have this blog printed into a book (eventually) because since I'm already almost two years behind with Zack's scrapbook, I want this blog to capture the memories that I know I'll forget. So I took a few pictures of his favorite activity lately. He loves little cars and trucks. To the point where when we were leaving the house on Saturday he packed his basket (with cars) to take them along. It was really hard to convince him to only take four! I had put all the cars in a basket as a way to keep some order to my life. Now he uses it to carry them from the main floor to the family room (in the basement). It's the funniest thing to see him do this ritual. Along with playing with them, he spends a lot of time lining them up (as you'll see below). We don't mess with them when they are arranged like this. The day we had to open the front door and disturb the "parking lot" there was crying involved!

He is such a sweet little boy!

Paul got sick about two weeks ago and just started feeling completely better this weekend.

Zackary and I got sick as well. This was taken last Saturday morning when we were lying around in our pajamas.

A couple weeks ago he was dressed and ready for church in this cute outfit that he got for his birthday. He was fascinated with his reflection in the door, so he kept looking to the side.

The yellow band aid is Curious George and was put there to cover the minor imperfection on his ankle -- not really a boo-boo! Sometimes it is just easier than trying to explain!
