He's growing up!

Well, we measured Zech today. He has grown 1 1/4" and has gained 1 lb! We are marking the door frame with his height. Macey started singing a little bit ago and Zech started singing too. It was so cute! Megan got up and started singing and doing the motions to "Father Abraham" and Zech got up and did that too. OMG! He is so adorable! Well, got to get to bed.

Have I been slacking??

I know it's been a few days, sorry. We've just been busy, I can't believe how quick time is flying by!! I took Zech to the doctor yesterday, he dropped a toy train on his toe Saturday and a little piece of skin was scraped off. It ended up getting infected. I have no idea why, I cleaned it well with hydrogen peroxide and put antibiotic cream on it, and it wasn't even a big scrape or anything. Oh well, they gave me antibiotics, and it's better this morning! Grandma will be staying this week with us. I wish she would move down here or a least stay 6 months here and 6 months in Michigan. I also had Cranial Sacrial done on Zech yesterday, he seems to be hearing a lot better this morning...I'm really amazed! Tonight we have the "Movie on the Square" we will be playing Swiss Family Robinson. It might get rained out, I hope not. Tomorrow I have a training class in Nashville, so Tom is going to be hanging out with Zech. I like my kids, we get so home sick for him if we're gone away from him just a few hours. Well, until next time......

Some Pics from a couple weeks ago.

Zech after a long day of swimming.....I don't know if I was ever able to get in this position!!

Zechariah and his friend Kayden. She will be 3 next month. I need to get better at taking the pictures when they are actually smiling!!

The Journey

Tomorrow is Tom and my niece Jamie's Birthday. Everyone came to the house for cake and ice cream and then the all the kids and I went to the movies to see "Journey to the Center of the Earth"--3-D. Zech was so funny! At first I wasn't sure if he would keep the glasses on, but after putting them on and trying to figure out what was going on, he loved them and left them on the whole movie. He really enjoyed it, as did everyone else. I've got a picture, but it's pretty dark because of the theater, but I'll post it anyways. Hope everyone was able to view the video. I really enjoyed doing that once I figured it out. Until next time.

Zech helping Mommy

My neighbor had a freak accident and I was baking a cake for her, Zech decided he wanted to help...think he liked it!

Hong Kong Adventure

I think I got this figured out. I hope it works!

Grandma's Here!

Well, my Grandma came in from Michigan Sunday evening. I have been with her the past few days. She is probably one of the funnest people I've ever met. We went to my uncle's house Monday night. Everybody just loved Zechariah. It was funny, Zech doesn't just take to strangers, but he had a ball!! My Uncle (Greg) is an excellent guitar player and he gave Zech his very own guitar(it was one of his sons first guitars)!! He loves it!! Zech really enjoys music, which surprises me since he has some hearing problems. I have pictures, but probably won't post any until tonight. I really have to work on this picture thing, I use the girls camera's and they end up getting to full or the batteries go dead. I will probably have to get my own. I have been trying to work on a video of our Hong Kong trip. It won't post though, I keep getting an error...so, don't know what's going on. Until next time.....

All is Good!

Been trying to figure out how to make a slide show, can't figure it out yet. We have been busy!! Zech is doing great! He has been very active! He is liking playing the guitar, drums, and any other musical equipment he can find!! He got his first "Big Boy" haircut since he's been home. He was very good, but I don't think he liked it too much. He's very cute!! Here's some pictures to show a little that's been going on.

We had a big weekend!!

Megan and Macey playing along with Zech's "copying" game!

All Smiles!!

Zech splashing in the pool.

Well, a lot has been going on the last few days. Friday we spent all day on our downtown square for the Fourth of July Celebration. Tom ran the music, Megan orgainzed all the booths, Macey worked the coffee shop, and Zech and I hung out. I have pics to post of that tomorrow, they are on Megan's camera which is at the store. We had some friends come in from Troy, TN that stayed with us (8 of them). So, we had a house full!!! We had a couple cookouts this weekend. Zech had a blast!! He played so hard, I have never seen someone laugh so much!! He likes to play a "copy" game that he does something and we have to follow him. It is so funny!!! Here is some of our pictures.

Some belated pictures...

Zech enjoying the Bass with Brad.

Zech getting a little crazy!!

Zech and Pa Pin

Yesterday afternoon, Zech and I went to my mom and dad's. We were sitting outside drinking coffee and dad started playing his harmonica. Zech crawled up in dad's lap and just smiled. He was absolutely taken in by it all. If we would have stopped talking, he would have fallen to sleep in no time. I was glad to see him bonding with my dad. I have a picture, but it's on my phone. I will have to have my daughter figure out how to get it downloaded to my computer. He also kept going to the door hollering for what sounded like "Ma". (Mom wasn't home from work yet). I checked with a local sw who will be coming by next week to "evaluate" Zech and give me some things to do with him to help in different areas. I have a meeting with the school in August for another evaluation. I really hope his hearing is addressed by then , either putting tubes in his ears or hearing aids. He seems to be trying to talk a lot. Some of the things sound fine, others have a muffled sound(which is probably how he's hearing it). So, I thought I would learn something today, but it's just working up to getting him to specialists. Again, until next time.
God Bless!

A Little Summer Fun :)

Yesterday, Zech, the girls, and I went to a friends house to play. They have a two year old daughter Kayden who loves to play with Zech. When we got there, Zech was very excited to play in her little play house. He also loved her kitchen set and pushed around a little shopping car! He was also very fascinated with the kid sized pool on their deck. After they played for a bit, Zech ate some pizza, but was more occupied with all the toys. After dinner, Zech and Kayden rode a kid-sized Gator (a little motorized vehicle). Zech LOVED it! He learned how to steer it, though he liked pushing on the pedal much more! He did such a great job, and he was not scared a bit! After the Gator, Zech, Kayden, and Valisha (Kayden's grandmother) baked cookies. He did not care much for the cookie, but he loved decorating them!! Overall, I would say Zech had a blast!! We cannot believe how well he is adapting with everyone. It is absolutely wonderful. Another thing is, he loves computers! As a write this, he is sitting in my lap trying to type on the keys. His coordination is getting better and better by the day. He is hearing much better also. Each day brings a new and exciting surprise! Until next time.
