FINGER PAINTING

Is it already February? Let's see what has Zachery done since the beginning of the year. For one of his stocking stuffers Zachery received finger paints for the bathtub .... it was a huge success, as you can see from the photo's below, we have a true Picasso! We have started jumping off ... EVERYTHING! However, there are some things that Charlie and I will ask him not to jump off, such as a 4 or 5 foot slide. But does a really good job jumping and landing on his feet! He was so excited when he first discovered he could jump off "stuff". We were at church and Charlie and I happened to be volunteering in Child Care. Charlie all of sudden said, "look at our son". Sure enough he was jumping off a plastic slide that is probably about 2 feet off the ground ... it was GREAT fun and it totally wore him out.

It has been so much taking Zachery to the church nursery lately! It was like things had clicked that this is the fun place I get to play with all kinds of toys and hang out with many of friends! We have even stopped crying when we take the exit off the freeway to go to church, this is a huge accomplishment! He even ran into the ladies arms that checks us in last weekend!

Swimming. Our first swimming lesson didn't go as well as I thought it would. I think there were alot of circumstances contributing to that (i.e., I was isn't in the water with him, he could see 'dog', and it was nap time!). Anyways, the second time went very well!! I was in the water with him and his instructor. He blew bubbles and jump off the side of the pool into our arms. He had a blast and I had a blast watching him!! (He even allowed his instructor to put him on his back to practice floating!!) I probably will not be able to get any photos until I am able to stay out of the water .... I am not sure when that will be as of yet!
