See!! See!!

Zac is at that stage where he has to point out everything and say "SEE!!" He is such a funny little guy. Sometimes it seems like he is just pointing in a random direction and I'll try to guess what it is that he is pointing at. Sometimes he points out such very little details. Aaron says that first thing in the morning all Zac does is "SEE! SEE! SEE!" so much that Aaron can't keep up!

Over the weekend we bought a print on canvas from Costco of Boise. It has some of the major landmarks in the city like the Train Depot, St. Luke's, the Hoff building, the Boise River, BSU, and some hot air balloons (I miss all the hot air balloons we used to have around the River Festival). Zac noticed it right away and was pointing "SEE! SEE!" He likes to look at it, and we point out the various places - including St. Luke's where he was born. It will be fun when he recognizes the landmarks around the city.

I'm looking forward to more curious days, and yes, even the days of "WHY?"

Prayers / Thoughts for Fiona

Please keep Zac's 13 month old friend Fiona in your thoughts and/or prayers. She is in the hospital PICU for HUS (it's affecting her kidneys/blood). I met Fiona & her mother Claire through groups at the hospital for new moms. I've known them since Fiona was less than a month old. She's a darling little girl who loves the water and normally has such a happy disposition. The next couple of weeks are going to be hard for her as she endures surgeries and blood transfusions. We are all pulling for you Fiona!!

Lots of Love, The Cook Family

Back in the Swing of It

It has been awhile since I posted! What's the point of having a blog if I'm not going to use it, right?

Zac is now 13 months old. He has grown up so fast. He is walking & running now and getting into everything he can around the house. He loves playing with his kitties, especially Jiro, playing with his trucks, and pushing chairs around. It's so funny to see this 30 inch boy pushing a high chair around.

We had our neighborhood night out BBQ on August 3rd. Zac got to meet some firefighters and got to get close to a fire truck. The next night we went to a BBQ for NICU graduates. It was awesome. They had a lot of activities and games for the kids and a pirate for the kids to get their picture with. Zac had the most fun pushing his stroller through the grass -- go figure!

I will be keeping the blog updated! Have a great weekend!
