Just Catching Up...

It has been so long since I have posted any pictures mostly because I have been completely lacking energy...more on that later. You will notice by the date on the top of the page that I started this post in February! So I am posting a ton from the last few months. Sorry, they are completely out of order, but what can I say? I was doing this with a two-year-old climbing on my lap wanting to look at all of the pictures! Enjoy! 

Mommy and Zach with Daddy after he ran the National Marathon 

Running across the finish line. 

Riding the metro with Papere on marathon day. 

Happy Easter! 

This was Zach's first Easter basket and he loved devouring the organic gummy bunnies that were hiding in the eggs. Not as good as jelly beans but he doesn't know that yet! 

Zach has sticker pox!

Dying Easter eggs!

He's ready to go! (I didn't want egg dye on his clothes.)

Daddy and Zach in Harper's Ferry. Such a cute little town!

O-MAMA

We have had a fun week although all three of us are fighting off being sick and at this point it seems like Zach and I are losing the fight. The nursery attendant at church today told me that Zach didn't want any goldfish! If you know him you know that means he is definitely sick. We all enjoyed watching Tuesday's events on TV all day. We were thinking of going down to the National Mall to experience it all since we are so close, but when nap time rolled around that day I was very thankful that we were home and not standing on The Mall among 1.something million people. Zach loved cheering for Obama on TV all day and everytime his face would show up Zach would yell, "OMAMA!" Experience it yourself by watching the video! 

Zach has a new best friend, Ba! Quite a creative name don't you think. BA BA is the sound he makes for dogs barking so now he calls his little blue dog "Ba." Ba comes everywhere with us and his nose is getting very dirty from all of the sloppy kissed he gets each day. Zach loves to make sure Ba is happy all day so we comfortably set him up in the crib under the blankets so he can nap while Zach plays with other toys. He also likes to set Ba up in his rocking chair with a book to make sure he doesn't get bored. The other night he sat Ba up so that he could watch the fire and then decided he would sit next to him to watch as well. So sweet! 

We have a fun new development these days and that is that Zach now recognizes letters on the signs as we are driving around town and calls them out with great excitement. I was driving around the parking lot of Fitness First the other day looking for a parking spot (because it is January remember...a few more weeks and parking shouldn't be a problem again) and Zach starting yelling "F" "I" "T"! I couldn't believe it! I was one proud Mama! I mean it is one thing when I am chasing him around the house with magnetic letters, but to recognize them on his own completely out of context! Wow! Now its what we do everyday! We drive down the street yelling letters and trying to be the first one to spot the digger or the trash truck! I will tell you one thing, I am blessed to be that little boy's mommy!
