Zachary the Zupendous

Oh little man, how you have grown! You are our spit-fire, rowdy, loving ball of energy. You could entertain the socks off anyone you meet; from your dance moves, to singing, to unbelievable intelligent conversation. You are so witty it is a little scary at times. I can only begin to imagine what you will be like in 10 years. You make each day incredibly interesting, and slightly challenging. Regardless your smile, tight hugs and kisses, and open "I love you's" melt my heart. Happy 3rd Birthday Zach Attack!!! 

The day Zach was born

1st birthday

2nd birthday

 

 3rd birthday

We got to do whatever he wanted today...snuggle time in mommy&daddy's bed watching Team Umi Zoomi, lunch at Double Dave's and play time at Monkey Joe's (the streak of blue coming down the slide is the little daredevil)

Growing Up So Fast

Our littlest guy is officially ONE YEAR old!!! I cannot believe the time has flown by. Our precious family is crazy, rambunctious, loving and blessed in every sense of each word. We did not think we would have another baby after 2, but God had another [perfect] plan. He gave us a great pregnancy and wonderful little boy. His first year has been full of smiles, cuddles, tormenting his siblings, and laughs. He is happy, healthy and full of life...we could not ask for anything more.

As you can see he is climbing on everything, but only walking while you hold his hand. He enjoyed all the attention yesterday, however, did not quite care for his cake. He wanted to poke it instead of eat the deliciousness. At the end of the day he was pooped and happy to be sitting on his carpeted floor playing with his new toys.

 

 

 

 

We were able to have a dual brother/multifamily party yesterday. It was great...family...friends...and cake. We got super lucky that storm clouds rolled through to provide overcast and a small shower; enough to cool the hot Houston weather down. And a super big thank you to Nana & Papi for sending over the balloon maker. The kids loved everything she whipped up, from swords to hats to flowers and butterflies.

 

And in 9 days we will celebrate this little man's big day...until then (with plenty more pictures)...Peace be with you!
