2011 was a great year for us. We got to go on a great family vacation, you crawled and walked, you were baptized by Great-Grandpa, and you had an awesome FIRST Birthday.
You are growing so much. At the beginning of this year, we were excited that you weighed 10 lbs and now we're 21 lbs! You've also started to communicate with a few words and lots of smiles.
We've also had some challenging times. You started to sleep through the night at 7 months old (that's a reaaallly long time, buddy), and you've been sick too many times to count. You were even really sick last night for New Years with a stomach bug. Your Mom and Dad rang in the New Year with puke on the carpet and lots of stinky diapers. Poor guy. (Photo below of Dad loving you while you were sick)
And this week, you'll start the New Year with ear tubes. Your Mom and Dad are very scared, but we know it will help you feel better. You've really struggled with numerous ear infections and we're hoping this alleviates pain for you this year.
Thank you for being such an incredible kid Zachary. You've made Mom and Dad better people and you've made our lives more enriched and joyous. We're thankful each day God gives us to be with you.
So, for 2012, let's make it even better. Let's see if we can laugh a little more, stay healthy a little longer, spend more time together as a family, and find new things we love about each other.
I love you more than all of the stars in the sky and all of the coffee in the world little man,
Mom
