My Little Man

Many people were worried that Z would have a hard time learning English since he didn't join our family until he was 11 months old. He was tested by early child intervention about 6 month ago after a year of work with them and he excelled beyond his chronological age in all 5 dimensions, so we're not worried about that at all.


But we think we might have another problem..... ;)


The other night at the dinner table and this morning when we were all cuddling in bed. Z counted to six.....in Spanish. He can only count to three in English!

Here is a photos of Z as we were looking at the Cheetahs at the zoo on Thursday.



As we were looking at them, the Cheetahs got up, looked excitedly in that direction and then lazily went back to sleep. you can see that the hackles on the one on the right are up. There was definitely something going on, but for the life of us, we couldn't figure it out. There were a lot of helicopters flying around (the zoo is right near the medical center so life flight flies by a lot) so I think the Cheetahs get all excited by the helicopters). Z loves the helicopters.

And here is a picture of Z coming out of a very cool clear plastic tunnel that allows the children to crawl under an aquarium filled with fish. This was the first time he was brave enough to do it!
