Flying Time

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted!  I have so many pictures to share I'm going to have to do this little by little!  I am so happy to have my new fancy dream camera - I have so many treasures to share from Zaiya's 1st year photo shoots with Mommy and Auntie Jen.  Those are to come... for now I had to post SOMETHING b/c my baby is turning 14 months old tomorrow and I'm in total denial.  He is more and more of a little boy and less of a baby every day - he is talking and running and figuring the world out at such a rapid pace!  We couldn't be more pleased with how well he is coming along - all of his teachers tell us how smart he is - always good to hear!  They say that when Zaiya is finished with his snack - instead of sitting at the table and crying so that someone will come and get him from the table - he just pushes his chair back and gets right up himself.  And if he can't push the chair back - he just dives off the side of the chair and crawls out!  :)  No crying for help for my baby lol!  

We recently started Zaiya at a new daycare - a big step for the little guy that came sooner than we'd hoped but we are thrilled with the new place!  It is a Spanish immersion program - so Zaiya spends his days habla español!   It is wonderful that he is learning a 2nd language so young - I mean he's got to catch up with his daddy and this is a good start!  The school is small and cozy and seems to truly embrace diversity which is something that is clearly very important to Marc and I.  We are attending our first International Festival hosted by the school next Friday - we are so excited to be a part of this community of like-minded folks!  

  


I didn't bribe him, he is too young for that.  Is this picture too much or what?  I can't take it.  He's posing.  With a swiffer vac - probably his favorite toy in the house!


 
Zaiya got a new toy (a belated bday gift from mommy)!  He loves this wagon that is almost as big as he is!  I love watching him put the blocks together!  He has the cutest "concentrating" face!  :)  I got a kick out of these PJ's too (also a bday gift from mommy) b/c he looks so adorable in them!

This is pretty much the way it goes around our house these days --- Zaiya gets into something he knows he's not supposed to be into - then looks back at Mommy or Daddy waiting for an official "no touch" and running and giggling right back toward the "no touch" object after giving hugs to the one who said "no" first.  It's a good strategy he's got going, really.  ;)


Zaiya seems to have a thing for shoes/feet.  Lol... he has discovered that he can put his shoes on himself. Even his teachers have told me how incredible it is that he can spend 10 minutes just trying to put his shoes on at school - b/c he's so fascinated and satisfied with this task.  I'm not sure if you all remember the previous blog where he was laughing hysterically at his feet the first time he ever wore shoes?  It's pretty hilarious.  He loves toes, socks, shoes, and all things feet in general.  It's hilarious to watch!

More to come...
