Six

It's the week for birthdays. Zach is six! He has been so much fun! He gets so excited about things and this little boy is a sports fanatic. If you ever went over to my parents' house and found all of the sports things outside, you knew he had been visiting. It wasn't just that he liked all of these sports, he's good at them too! And this year he finally got to play soccer. He likes school and listening to some of his stories you have to try so hard to not laugh (because it does offend him). He's very methodical in whatever he does and that's a little bit extra entertaining to watch as well.

My first meeting with him (big sister, AJ, had had a busy day with her birthday party and was getting tired): And this is what happens when you let Aunt Wendy babysit (My fancy seat for the key board was a gift from his parents if that counts for anything. I'd get him down and he would get right back up on it to play.):

For some reason this Christmas every time we asked him to smile, we got this possessed smile:

We're glad we get something normal now!

Our Zack in the most recent picture I have.

I love watching his excitement over things and just seeing his enjoyment for life (I really need to work on this). I also need his focus (maybe his parents would disagree, but when I've been around him this little boy kind of has one-track mind in getting whatever he is doing done).

I love you, Zack-A-Oni!
