A couple new pics.

Here are a couple new pics of Zack, it is still to cold to open our pool so we brought a pool to him..
As you can tell he loves it!!! Plus it is good therapy for him, it help to desensitize him.
The last ones is one of his new outfits mommy picked out when we all had our family day shopping at BabiesRUS.
He is sitting so well and up straight.
My baby isn't spoiled LOL ya right!!!!
enjoy the new pics!!!

Also our Agency is now asking for PP reports, and trying to say Guatemala is requiring them... what a crock of crap this is!!! To top this off she is saying they are due at 6 and 18 months, so I got out our contract once again. I have had to on several occasions copy and paste parts to remind her of things in it as she seems not to have ever read it herself. It clearly states 6 and 12 months. Either way poooo on her!!!
I contacted our HS SW as she knows our story and she says there is really no reason to complete them. It is only for our Agency SW that headed up Guat to renew her license.... which I want No part of helping this crazy ditzy woman get hers renewed. She has NO business in adoption and I have said this more than once and to her in emails. So she will NOT get one from US!!! How can she really care how these kids are now? She didn't as us families was fighting to get them HOME last yr without the Agency's help!!
Like I told our Steve let them try to sue us for breach of contract, I really don't think this is a can of worms she wants to open with me. I am so sick of these people, why can't they just leave us alone and go away...They have done enough damage to families!!

It's been awhile

I guess before I razz others for not keeping up updated, I need to do it myself LOL I will TRY to post something every weekend..... I didn't realize it had been so long. sorry........

Well Thursday we have a meeting with ALL Zack's therapist to see where we need to go from here, he has met all the goals but 1 we set for him 5 months ago. Usually they do a meeting every 6 months but all thought with some of the problems we are still having we needed to move it up a month. We have asked for a different O/T because the one we had we didn't feel was helping us to help Zack and I personally didn't understand her approach to things and we was getting NO progress in that department....of course not when we didn't understand anything she was doing. The most important thing we wanted to work on was his eating issues..... well guess what she NEVER even touched base on this.... Steve says he feels like we wasted 5 months with this O/T.... which we really did. All other areas he has done leaps and bounds and we are so PROUD of him!!!! He is home and we are still fighting for him!!! His sweet little face keeps me going to get him the help he needs.

Over the weekend he decided it was time to surprise mommy with something new....

He was whining and I kept asking him what he wanted? He would put his arms out and I would ask again what do you want?, finally he looked right at me and pointed his finger right at me... OK this was good enough for me.... I picked him up and he just laughed and giggled, then laid his head on my shoulder!!! He did this again on Monday morning before I left for work I picked him up hugged and kissed him and sat him back down and I was still kneeling over him he then actually reached out and grabbed my shirt and pulled me to give me a hug and giggle...at that point I really could have just skipped work and stayed home with him ALL day LOL

I now have Zack drinking out of a sippy cup for his juice and water, thank goodness LOL and I switched all his nipples on his bottles to sippy cup nipples (Nuby makes them)... they work GREAT by the way... it has made it so much easier for me to get him to drink from a sippy cup.... now if I can just get him to drink his formula out of a sippy cup too....BUT hey 1 step at a time!!! Right??? haha

Zack has been more expressive with Steve and I, he is now initiating hugs and pulling at us and holding up his arms when we walk by when he wants held. Zack is coming along in HIS own time.... I want to talk at the meeting about a S/T because Zack is not speaking at all but babbling all the time.... he is doing his A, E, P, S, F, M, N and TH sounds and IS saying MMMMMOM alot.... Is this a start??? Sometimes it sounds like he is babbling/talking in Spanish... even Jo the Visual Teacher said so... BUT we really don't know LOL

The Nutritionist sent me a clip of what she thinks might be wrong with Zack on why he is not moving past stage 2 foods, it is Hypersensitivity in the mouth and face. After I read the 4 pages it seemed to fit him pretty well

with what he is going thru with food, teeth brushing, his mouth and face in general, he will gag sometimes(MOST of the time) until he throws up...He will let us kiss and snuggle on his face, BUT no where near his mouth. Has anyone else had issues like this??? What did you do?? How did you help your little one?? He has started putting some of his toys in his mouth so that is a start...

I have a bunch of pics to post to get everyone caught up.....

Zack with his cousin Koltin (my Bro and SIL's little boy, this is Koltin's picture smile)

Zack and Daddy on Zack's 1st Easter egg hunt

Couldn't resist this cute little face!!!

This is Zack new way of using his leggs, He loves to do this then gets mad when he can't get sitting back up LOL He has been pushing more and more with his toes and feet.... I'm hoping there is more good things to come!!!

Zack ACTUALLY drinking from his sippy without a fight LOL He has been sticking with it since Saturday.....

He is enjoying tummy time, which is unusual...and actually getting his upper body off the floor.... YAY Zack!!!!!

Mom what are you doing now??? get that dang camera OUT OF MY FACE!!

This is Zack giving us his HUGE grin/smile

He is actually keeping his Nike hat on and wore it the whole time we was shopping for him Saturday. He must have known "I better keep this on if I want a bunch of goodies"

I'm SOOOOO Happy to see Mom after a long day.... this is what I get when I come home and he hears my voice and sees me!!! How can I NOT want to cry with joy coming home to this little guy!!! He is the light of my life and I feel so very bless everyday being his mommy!!

Oh yeah he is now 22lbs, 30 1/2 inches long and wearing 18 month clothes. So my baby is catching up in size... She said he was in the 25th to 50th for weight to length.
