Flexible

We've learned a couple of things about Zac as he's been crawling and climbing around so much lately. One, he shares his Dad's love of electronics. For some reason, and I have to believe it's just instinct, whenever he has the opportunity Zac will head straight for the electronic components. I may have mentioned that before. But another thing we've noticed is how flexible he is. A few times he's come back down from a standing position only to end up in the splits, or some other position far beyond anything Katy or I can do.

Right now, we're waiting for him to figure out he can pull himself up on just about anything rather than just shorter boxes and to begin walking alongside things like his cousins do. We enjoy each step forward he makes in anything and in the fact he loves to laugh so much and has so much fun in everything he does. From here at the house to when he's with his sitter to all the people at church, he just smiles and laughs and has a great time.

Today is the 11th, and in just 3 weeks, Zac turns 1 on, yes, Super Bowl Sunday. Last year, with Katy still recovering and Zac of course in the NICU, we watched part of the game in Katy's room and the second half entirely in Zac's room on a tiny LCD TV they have in the NICU rooms. It was still fun! Our question as his birthday looms is, "how much of his first birthday cupcake and ice cream will he actually eat and what will we be left to clean up when he's done?" And no, I didn't mean off the floor. :)
