I'll Open It

I was just looking through the pictures we've taken of Zac over the past few weeks and have noticed a bit of a disturbing trend. It would appear we've crossed over into the group of parents who take most pictures when their children are naked or half-naked. And while I fully agree that these will be GREAT for blackmail when we need to get his attention as a teenager, I am wondering just a bit about the necessity of posting this type of picture over those where he is fully clothed. As such, I'm also included one where he is dressed so you don't think we've become weird or anything.

So, first picture is Zac trying to put keys into the lock in the front door. It's interesting what kids pick up. For months he's recognized what his comb or brush is for, but in the past few weeks he's really latched on to paying attention to uses for his toothbrush, Q-Tips, keys and also the ceiling fans. Ceiling fans are particular favorites anyway, but since he began mimicking us by moving his arm in a circular motion and saying "round and round" as he works on his letter "r", it's a little more fun. Also, we may have good news. We've been fretting over the possibility Zac may be a lefty since whenever we hand him food, he always goes for it with his left hand and he'll even feed himself with utensils, with our help, with his left hand. But yesterday as he and I were rolling a ball back and forth to each other, he always used his right arm. Hopefully this is the start of something positive! Can't have him being one of those weird lefties, after all. :)

The second pic is the as promised fully clothed Zac. Sunday after church, he fell asleep on Katy's lap before we could even get lunch ready. Thought it'd be nice to share with everyone. Have a great day!

Zac With Keys

Caught Zac just a little bit this afternoon banging a set of keys against our front door but initially laughing like crazy at Millie, who was looking at him through the window right around the corner from the door. We've been working with Zac quite a bit this week on walking, putting forth more of an effort to get him to recognize it's something he should be doing. I guess our thought previously that he'd walk when he wanted to wasn't quite right for him, so we're adjusting. :)

When Katy brings him out of his room after a nap or a changing now, he'll call me and say "See?" as she helps him walk down the hallway. It's VERY cute and I'll try to catch it on video sometime soon if at all possible. And once he walks, we'll get that up as well. Have a great day everyone!
