Two-Year-Old Doctor Visit

We are so happy to have had yet another "glowing report" from a Well Child check up at the doctor. I am so proud of Baby Zog and his development and feel very blessed by God to have a healthy, intelligent, happy, thriving child. Sometimes I just hold him and try to soak in the blessings from this precious boy. I pray we can raise him to fulfill his potential!

Here are the stats:

Height - 36 inches exactly (88%) -so according to the old wives' tale, he'll be exactly 6 feet tall as an adult.
Weight - 28.8 lbs (62%) - much better than in August when we were in the low 50%.
Cuteness - off the chart :)

Trunk or Treat

Tonight was a great night to "test drive" Baby Zog's Halloween costume at the annual "Trunk or Treat" held at the church where he attends daycare. Of course, being a church they insist on saying this is NOT a Halloween celebration. Riiiiiiight...it's a night where we decorate with pumpkins and ghosts, hand out candy, yell "trick or treat" and dress up in costumes. Definitely NOT a Halloween celebration whatsoever!

We joined in the fun by decorating our trunk (our theme was the oh-so-original "pumpkins") and passing out candy. Baby Zog and Daddy Zog went around from trunk to trunk and Baby Zog seemed to figure out what he was supposed to do - i.e. reach for candy, place candy in bucket and then say thank you. It seems if he has his trusted friend, Grover, by his side, he can accomplish anything. I really enjoyed watching my son experience something new and have fun with his little two-year-old friends. Click here to see a few pics of our family, featuring Baby Zog in his Woody costume (minus the red bandanna which he loudly refuses to wear around his neck.)

Round two will be on Saturday!

Happy Birthday Baby Zog!

Our sweet boy is two years old today. We celebrated with a party at his daycare yesterday. The out of town family members started arriving last night and will all be here in time for his big party on Saturday. Here is the video from his party at school. More to follow soon. Happy Birthday Baby Zog! I love you more every day.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho a Game Day For Me

I shot this video last week. It was supposed to feature Baby Zog in his new pirate hat. The hat is the newest addition to his growing collection of hats. We have cowboy hat, fireman hat, safari hat, construction hat, fishing hat, numerous baseball hats, and now pirate hat! (It was supposed to be a birthday gift, but I'm not good at being patient with surprises.)

Anyway, the video turned into a little bit of everything, including his rendition of Sunny Days (the Sesame Street theme song.)

The game you hear in the background is not, thank goodness, the awful Tar Heel loss of that day. :(

Enjoy
