GETTING BIG!!!

I TOOK ZAK TO THE DOCTOR LAST WEEK FOR HIS 15MONTH CHECK UP AND SHOTS, BOY HOW TIME GOES BY SO FAST I REMEMBER TAKING HIM LAST YEAR FOR HIS 3MONTHS OLD, I WANTED TO CRY DON'T GET ME WRONG I WANT HIM TO GROW UP, BUT A PART OF ME DOES NOT, EVERY DAY OF THE MONTH ON HIS LAST DAY I WILL SAY TO JOSH TODAY IS HIS LAST DAY TO BE 14 MONTHS, OR WHAT EVER AGE HE IS, MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE I WAITED SO LONG FOR HIM, IT MAKES ME THINK OF MELISSA HIS BIRTH MOM, AND I THINK HOW HARD IT MUST BE FOR HER AS WELL, ANYWAYS HIS IS DOING AWESOME.
WEIGHTS-25.3 POUNDS
HEIGHT- 32 INCHES
IS IS IN THE 70% ON WEIGHT, AND 75% ON HEIGHT
WHEN HE GOT HIS SHOTS HE DID SO GREAT IN FACT HE WAS SMILING AND WAVING BYE AT THE NURSE THAT GAVE HIM HIS SHOOTS, SHE SAID MOST KIDS DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM AFTER, WHEN WE WERE LEAVING WE MADE HIS 18 MONTH CHECK UP, THE LADY AT THE DESK SAID DID ZAK HAVE HIS SHOTS TODAY I SAID YES, SHE SAID AND HE IS SMILING, I SAY ED I KNOW HE IS ALWAYS SUCH A GOOD BOY .
SOME OF THE THINGS HE IS DOING
HE SAYS GO GO
WE SAY WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU SAY YOUR PRAYERS TO HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS, HE FOLD HIS ARMS
YOU ASK HIM HOW OLD ARE YOU? HE HOLDS UP HIS FINGER
HE SAYS JESUS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SUS
HE POINTS AT THINGS AND SAYS "THIS"
HE SAYS "O GOSH" HE GETS THAT FROM ME
HE MAKES THE NOISE OF THE TRACTOR, HE LOVES RIDING THE TRACTOR WITH JOSH AND HIS DAD
I LOVE THESE EVERY DAYS MOMENTS, I CAN NOT THANK MELISSA ENOUGH FOR GIVING JOSH AND I THIS WONDERFUL TIME TO BE PARENTS, ITS SOMETIMES IS NOT EASY, BUT I LOVE BEING A MOM AND ALSO A WIFE TO MY GREAT HUSBAND THAT WORKS REALLY HARD FOR US SO THAT I CAN STAY HOME AND WATCH THESE CUTE AND FUN THINGS.

AN ATTITUDE LIKE THIS...

" I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE UP TO THE PEARY GATES IN A SHINY SPORTS CAR, WEARING BEAUTIFULLY, TAILORED CLOTHES, MY HAIR EXPERTLY COIFFED, AND WITH LONG PERFECTLY MANICURED FINGERNAILS. I WANT TO DRIVE UP IN A STATION WAGON THAT HAS MUD ON THE WHEELS FROM TAKING KIDS TO SCOUT CAMP. I WANT TO BE THERE WITH SMUDGE OF PEANUT BUTTER ON MY SHIRT FROM MAKING SANDWICHES FOR A SICK NEIGHBOR'S CHILDREN. I WANT TO BE THERE WITH DIRT UNDER MY FINGER NAILS FROM HELPING TO WEED SOMEONES GARDEN. I WANT TO BE THERE WITH CHILDREN'S STICKY KISSES ON MY CHECK AND TEARS OF A FRIEND ON MY SHOULDER. I WANT THE LORD TO KNOW I WAS REALLY HERE AND THAT I REALLY LIVED" -MARJORIE PAY HINCKLEY
