The day after Easter, Zac had his first birthday. We have called him Zacky-noo since he was born. Not really sure why except that maybe he was so new we called him "new". Since then, it has turned into "noodle". So around the house he is either Zacky, Zacky-noo, Noo Noo, or Noodle.
So when Grandpa came home from work for his lunch break we had cake and ice cream and a couple presents. Then went to Yogurtland with cousins - yum! He dug into the cake right away and then after a few minutes realized he didn't like all the sticky stuff on him! He got a car seat and some Hotwheels.
Every since he was born he fits right in with the rest of our boys - like it was just meant to be. Often after school I will find him in the boys room playing with legos while they are doing homework, playing, or Brayton practicing his sax. He just wants to be with them. And we always say he has 3 mommas because the girls can't get enough of him either. We are so glad he came to our family. He's still not walking yet, but he'll get there! On his birthday I also finally took him to get his pictures taken - yay, I finally did it! He looks so cute up on our wall now!
Something he can enjoy and also be a stress release for him. So we found a drumset for him on craigslist for a good deal and he and Shawn picked them up today. And oh, the noise! They are in the garage, but still! It is going to take some getting used to, but he was in heaven. He even made his own sign next to the drums: "Do Not Enter this area. If you want to play the drums, ask Orion." He starts his lessons first week of May. Hopefully he'll stick with it for awhile and have some fun with it. par-uppapumpum
