Pumpkin Patch

We took Zach to a Pumpkin Patch on Sunday afternoon. He immediately was interested in the pumpkins, probably because there were so many. They also had a small petting zoo. Zach got to see calves, chickens, a rooster, a pony, a donkey, ducks, and pigs. I think his favorite was the pigs. We walked through a Hay House and he swung on some tire swings. It was a beautiful day!

Talk, Talk, Talk

Wow does Zach love to talk. It is like a switch went off again and now he talks. Only we can't understand a word he is saying. Lots and lots of babbling. He will look at you dead in the face and say "bloah, was ba da" and look like he expects an answer. Yesterday he started saying "Was that?". Who knows if that is really what he is saying, but maybe it's a start.

PS - Abby & Andy, he is playing with the Little People Farm in the background of this video. It is one of his favorites for sure! Thanks again.

Zach's World

This is Zach in his new classroom eating breakfast. Zach just loves to pull the chair out and climb up on his own. He is such a big boy! Lately, he has been too busy eating to wave good-bye so he just nods me off.

My Baby Is Broken

Yesterday Zach took a spill at school and chipped his front tooth. Poor baby! We will try to get a picture of his jagged tooth, but right now, he will barely let us see it.

I am trying to get him into the dentist to have it checked out - further news to be posted later.

I came home and showed my sister and told her what happened - Her Response "What are you going to do when he really gets hurt?"

That is a good question!!

Heartfelt Moment

This weekend we attended the Tushaus wedding reception. For some crazy reason, we decided to bring Zach along with us. He had an absolute blast walking around the large reception room - just walking and walking and walking.........

At one point he noticed a group of kids playing on the dance floor area. He lit up, squealed loudly, and toddled as fast as he could over to them. He positioned himself in the group and smiled really big. It was such a sweet moment - he just wanted to be a part of the kid group and they took him right in.

What is Mommy's Role

I really enjoyed my friend's blog titled "Piece of Cake". She said it perfectly.

A day or two later, I ran into into this article in Baby Talk Magazine.

So we know we have to have a life other than our children and we know that we shouldn't feel guilty about it - Now, how the heck do we get the guilt monster to listen to the reality monster???
