Final Preparations

Everyone is ready for baby Jarvis #2. Everyone, it seems, but baby Jarvis himself. The bags are packed and Zach's stuff is ready to stay with friends for a couple days, but someone forgot to tell this baby that the due date was last week! As we rack our brains to figure out what he might be waiting for, we decided that perhaps he's waiting for one final blog of our family of 3. We just can't wait to meet him!

Zach turns 2!

Zach is officially a contributing member of the family- stacking dishes, cleaning messes off the floor, and vacuuming around the house. Our word for him is exuberant- you know exactly what he's feeling at all times. He's the first one at a playdate to announce he's leaving with a "Goodbye! Car, Mommy" when he's ready to go, and he'll declare "Fun!" or "Funny!" over and over again when he's having the time of his life. He loves to test our boundaries, but we're figuring out that the more boundaries we give him, the more content he seems with a predictable world.

Christmas morning... Chef Zach

He still loves to cook, play hide and seek, and he loves trains or anything else that he can roll on the floor, table, wall, and couch. Music, however, seems to be his favorite past time- between dancing and singing and playing musical instruments, he can't get enough! He'll ask us to sing the ABC song, but as soon as we start, he tells us to stop so we can enjoy his solo.


Playing the drums and playing hide and seek

That's the update in our neck of the woods. Hopefully we'll be posting sooner than later with news of the newest addition to our family!
