Zac is still teething!

Yesterday was one of those days where zac wouldn't stop crying and fussing. I didn't mention in the huge update that zac has had one or two teeth pushing through continuously for 6 weeks. At this point he has 6 more teeth than he did at new years. Mom and Dad are tired of the crying - which is on top of the fact that he thinks the most effective way of communicating is by crying or screaming - his words are good, but not quite enough.
Today mom was really depressed - planned on taking us to preschool and music class in the chariot (we have had 4-5 days of good weather!), and then zac had a melt down - so she took me in the car while zac was finishing off a 2hour morning nap (dad was home but getting ready for sleep after working all night) and then drove home and collected up zac after he woke up and then brought him to pick me up from my one hour class. crazy. and depressing for mom - she feels trapped by all the naps we take. She is trying to push zac's nap to match mine, but it just isn't happening.
He is starting to sit on the potty chair, though it really is just copying me.
talk to you later!

Slumber party at ariadnee's

I forgot to mention .... on friday i had my second sleepover - at ariadnee's house with my other cousin tia. we went and saw curious george and then went to chuckie cheese and didn't get to sleep till 1030 and woke up as usual before 6am. I had the best time, ariadnee is my best friend and everyday i ask mom if i am going over there or she is coming here. I guess mom and dad went out for a quiet dinner with zac - they must think one baby is so easy now that they have the two of us to deal with most of the time.
talk to you later!

Long time, no update.....Zac's 18 month check-up

Hey there!
Well, i just opened my blogsite to update it and couldn't believe it has been over a month! We have been so busy.
In january we started some new classes - i was in gymnastics and one hour of preschool and week, and we added some 25 minute swimming classes. I go twice a week in the eve with dad and then on the weekend i go with my cousin Ariadnee. I am quite the little swimmer. Then my mom took me swimming at the rec center and she thought i was drowning when all i was doing was floating around in the water! luckily she didn't freak out at all and embarrass me!
So all the classes have been keeping us busy - mom or dad takes zac to a music class that runs the same time as my preschool class - they have had to get creative figuring out how to do things for us now that there are two. Now that there are two of us we also stopped going to the littel gym in january and will start gumnastics at the rec center in march. I'm not missing the gymnastics because i am so in tothe swimming these days!
Zac is a talking fool now - mom counted 35 words a couple months ago, and now he saying too much to count! they still can't remember what his first word was. He is starting to put words together too. He tells mom the belt on his car seat is "too tight" and he said "daddy down stairs" yesterday, and sings "mama mama mama mama's boy". Mom and Dad are amazed. He is getting really comfortable in the water too - blows bubbles and holds his breath for a few seconds. Mom thinks it was the best idea in the world to teach us to swim during the winter. Going to the pool has helped us all feel less stir crazy, but we are really tired at the end of the day!
Dad cut zac's hair for the first time (other that cutting straggling hairs) about three weeks ago and then again about a week ago - trying to fix the mess he made the first time. Not the easiest thing to do, cut an 18month old kid's hair. It looks cute, anyway. And zac got his 18month check-up and weighs is at a whopping 23.4 lbs, which is only the 17th percentile. and he is in the 23rd percentile for height and 67 percentile for brain (head) size. Dad said he sure doesn't feel light when he is carrying him around. And dad should be strong now too - he is riding his bike and running and doing pilates and push ups all the time. And he still thinks zac is heavy!
While dad is obsessed with training - I think he is planning a triathalon somewhere in the future-
mom is obsessed with her new jewelry business she started at the end of january. She is going to these goofy jewelry parties and always talking to people about this Silpada jewelry. Dad says "all Silpada, all the time" and laughs. She is bugging me to make a plug for her, so if you want to see what she is selling, go to www.mysilpada.com/maya.adams - but that will be the last time i plug her stuff! She says she wants it to help pay for her bike gear this summer, with her being in the Boulder Title 9 bike club and all.
Anyway, long update, but making up for lost time... hope everyone is happy and well.
