- He walked to the swings by himself, and he's now going down the slide by himself!
- Zach loves watching his animals fly down from the shelves and bubbles!
 |
| Mesmerized by bubbles! |
- Zach’s first words: 1.) ball 2.) car 3.) cow (or maybe it’s a variation of “car.” He also does lots of “Mamamama” and “Dadadadada,” but not sure we can go with “Mama” and “Dada” yet.
- He also understands so much now. We can say, “Go get Dear Zoo," or your ball or your car, and he does!

| Playing peek-a-boo with his food cape |
- He stands in front of his high chair to let us know he’s hungry, and he wears a food cape now (aka a bandana)
- He took his first swim lesson at Goldfish Swim School!

- Zach loves watching people and especially older kids.
- He pulls out his blanket that matches his room decor, and we all sit on it together on the upstairs landing. So cute.
- I loved reading the latest chapters of Winnie the Pooh, especially "issue" for sneezing.
- He's begun climbing up and balancing on the Huggies box, step stool, etc. He's a good climber.
- He has a man purse that he carries around. One night it had a ball and his toothbrush.
- He's continued to have terrible diaper rash; we cut out citrus, but it persists! So, he takes baking soda baths. We use lots of baking soda!
- Emily's surgery – not easy, but all went well with Auntie Em. She was a textbook case and was able to leave the hospital early even!
- ½ date day with Frank (a run + Enyate) + Date Night the next day! Lake Anne Wine Bar and appetizer, Robbie Schaefer show at Jammin’ Java for Syrian refugees, and a really good dinner at Caboose Brewing.
- Cross country skiing at Whitegrass for the first time since 2015. Thank you Gamma and Daddy Bob for babysitting Zach. I'm sorry I gave you my (Zach's) stomach bug. :( and to Frank days later….

- Chicken with garam masala sauce – DELICIOUS!
- Cocktails from Zach’s leftover fruit syrup
- Finished up Jim and Terri's Christmas bacon on top of mac & cheese, pinto beans, and greens. My favorite soul food meal.
- A shout out from Morgan! Morgan went to the Bluebird Bistro/Cafe in KC at my recommendation!
- China Chilcano in DC for Restaurant Week and seeing Callie again for the first time since 2013
Good Work Stuff
- A work trip to Harrisburg (JPL Creative and d’Vinci) and the Eastern PA District Meeting. I was interviewed for JPL's video blog series, visited Lancaster Brewing Company with Jenny, Angeline, and Susan. Such a kindred spirit feeling!
 |
| Susan's video blog interview |
- I listened to Susan Cain’s Quiet going to and from PA. Lots of good insight.
- I'm continuing my pursuit of expertise: a virtcon LinkedIn post and continued social media postings. Very proud of our efforts!
