Baby

This morning Zion lifted the bottom of my shirt touched my stomach and said "baby." I was really impressed we have been working on identifying his belly and belly button. Once I did show him the "baby" but I didn't think he really got it-so fun.

Zion has started climbing. A few days ago he climbed on a chair and then on to the counter where he proceeded to open cupboards. His adventure ended when he fell off the counter while checking out the spices. He has climbed on the counter several times since, so I guess it was not too traumatic. Zion is also enjoying emptying drawers, pulling pillows off of couches and beds, "talking" on the phone, and running around the house. Yes! Running! or at least trying too. He trips often. Zion now says his own sweet version of "thank you." He learning that the consequence for not following the rules is going to his room for a while.

Jack has started coming over again now that his little brother is a few weeks old. Zion and Jack giggle and make so much noise while they are together-it is really funny. I also find that I get more done around the house when they are together in spite of the messes they make.

Zach has just two more weeks left of class at IPFW before he earns his Masters Degree in Business. I am really excited that he will be home one more night each week. Not sure if he will be as excited when I come up with bigger "to do" lists for him, but I know he will be glad to be done with class work.

I am trying to get work for Gateway done during Zion's naps and in the evenings while Zach is home. I start working with another family tomorrow morning while Zion plays at Jack's house. I still love my adoption work even though it means our house isn't always as clean as I would like.
