Happy Birthday Baby!





Well, he's not a baby anymore! Zachary is 2 years old (and he will gladly tell you although it is not very clear). Stats: 21 lb 6 oz, 32 1/4 inches. What that really means is that he is still really little. This post is about all of Zach's positives (and there are a lot).

Cognitively, he is way ahead of actual age. The eval that his EI teacher did was showing that he is 30 to 33 months for his cognitive ability. However.....that did not take into account that he is actually reading some words. He learned the alphabet at about 21 months actual age & then we moved on to words. He can read: Cat, Dog, Mom, Mommy, Daddy, Ball, Happy, Erin, & today he learned Green.

Fine motor, I don't have the official reading, but he is fine.

Most of all, Zach is a very happy little boy. He LOVES to laugh, cracking up at the smallest things that I do. He looks at people like they are the BEST thing to happen to his day. He just draws people in wherever we go. Every Sunday, he is the official greeter at Trader Joe's. He says "Hi" to everyone. I just love this for him.
