On Monday Zion had an appointment with Dr. Camille. He now weighs 21 pounds 12 ounces. He is in the 15th percentile for weight!!!! (a great improvement from the 5%). He is 28 3/4 inches tall (less than 5%). Such a small little guy-but so mighty. He is starting climb all over the couches and beds and took a head first fall off the couch a few minutes ago. Right now he is playing with his farm animals and push toy. Earlier he had me read him is Little Lamb Book. AGAIN!!! He is making more and more noises. Yesterday he kept saying "ba ba ba." "Shoes," "yeh," "okay," "no," "Jack," "ma," "da," and "cheese" are other common words heard at the Bertsch house.

Life
Life-As a mother of a 14 month old. I often wonder if I get anything accomplished. Zion is so active. He was pretty much a grump when he got up every morning this week until today. It was so nice to have him happy from the start. Poor little guy is getting teeth and his sensitive skin is giving him trouble. Right now he is happy as can be because his friend Jack is over to play. They love chasing each other around the house, sharing toys (they are still working on this), and sharing snacks (they are actually generous with their milk and water). It is amazing how much more I can get done when Jack is over-they both pretty much ignore me unless they want something. So I am counting this a blessing and getting caught up on my e-mail and some scrapbooking. I should be cleaning. I made a wonderful weekly cleaning list last week and posted it inside my kitchen cupboard. It is really a nice chart with all the cleaning tasks in each room listed out. What is not so nice about it is that a week later it has no check marks showing completed tasks. Now what??? I wonder if I was better off not knowing that things weren't getting done. To give myself some credit. I have been washing the dishes almost everyday and I did vaccumm the dining room flour this afternoon. I have also gotten a few things done for work thanks to Zion's long naps and his play date at Jack's yesterday. Tomorrow is Saturday, so just maybe with Zach's help a few things will get done. Just wait until his sees the "to do" list.
