Captain Giggly-Fireball Man

Every afternoon for the past week, Zac has become Captain Giggly-FireBall Man and runs around the yard wanting me to chase him while he laughs uncontrollably. The following videos are weak examples, but will give you an idea, none-the-less.

Bye Bye, Choo-Choo ...

This is what Andrew and I heard for our hour long ride back into Boulder on Saturday after riding a REAL train in the mountains. Since his kiddy train ride at the Taste of Colorado and his needing to watch the video over and over again, we thought that perhaps it was time to step it up a notch.

Here he is posing like a big boy:


Admittedly, it was kind of scary when the train whistle blew, but we all pulled through and now Z can't get enough of the new choo-choo video!

The Z Log ....

Z had his 18 mth check up yesterday and, and usual, is growing like a weed! He's still in the 90th percentile for height (34") and is now in the 50th percentile for weight (26lbs) - basically, he's tall and skinny. The doctors asked if he has at least 8 words - (uh, yeah, but more on that later), can he climb, help with housework, recognize pictures (yes, yes, and yes) So - the little man is progressing quite normally, if not - dare I say - advanced. We are quite the proud (and smitten) parents.

So - back to his words. Today, he said -in context- "excuse me". (So cute!) Other words that are HIGH on his list these days are: Choo-choo, busssss, p-plane, car. In a nutshell, our son is, well, a boy. Things that GO are fascinating. He can hear a plane or train from 600 miles away. Ok, maybe only a couple of miles away, but still.

I think this weekend we may have a little train excursion into the mountains. I think he'd like that! We'll keep you posted!

Zac rides the train!

Imagine Zacary's excitement when, at the "Taste of Colorado", we happened upon this train! (Too bad no one else was as excited as we were about it) Of course, he had to take a ride. We imagine this will be the first of many rides in young Z's life - he is his father and mothers son, after all. First the train, next the Tower of Doom!
