Zach Talking

Zach has exploded on his vocabulary! He is starting to repeat pretty much anything you ask him to say!! Its so exciting!!

Neurology Appt today :)

Zach had his follow-up appt today with his Neurologist. She was SO pleased with the progress he has maid since their last appt 4 months ago. She would ask a question not expecting to hear Zach was able to do whatever it was (walk backwards, squat down, run, name 6 body parts) and every time i answered yes she was more and more surprised :) All in all he is just a little behind still in his fin motor skills, but other than that he is right where he should be developmentally for his adjusted age (which will be 2 on Monday!) That was such exciting news!!

She also gave us a referral to get the MRI done that they have been wanting to do on Zach for a while, and now that he is off of oxygen and is 2 it is the perfect time to do so. They want to get a look to see if his brain is showing any signs of the possible stroke he had when he was in septic shock (in the NICU when his intestine perforated). Also they want to check to see what the remnants are of his brain bleeds he had when he was first born. He doesn't seem to show any signs of having brain problems, but (as is the story of our life) its better to check it out just in case :)

Random Cute Picture

Our Little Professor

Here are jsut some cute shots of Zach (of course) i LOVE this outfit!! He looks like a little professor!!

Zach's haircut!

Today when Zach was playing i looked at him and thought, man.. this kid needs a haircut!! So before we went grocery shopping we stopped and got Zach a haircut!! He of course freaked out, and ended up sitting in my lap. He eventually calmed down once the girl gave him her spray bottle... he was so busy squirting water he didnt even notice her cutting his hair!! I was worried that buzzing the back would make his little flat spot on the top of the back of his head more noticeable, but it doesnt seem to be :) He looks about 3 years older, which is so sad lol, but its SO cute!!

4 Generations of Magleby's

On Saturday we went up to Salt Lake to visit Spike (Joe's grandpa) and take Zach up to see him again (we haven't been up to see him since last fall) and get some more pictures for Zach to have of him when he gets older because sadly we aren't sure how much longer Spike will be around (although you never really know no matter what). It was a great trip, and Zach actually let Spike hold him and didn't cry. Zach was a little apprehensive when we first got there because of all the workers wearing scrubs but once he realized we were just visiting and none of the nurses wanted to touch/poke/do anything with him he was fine! It was great to visit with Spike and so great for Zach, hopefully he can have some memories of his Great Grandpa!

Afterwards, we met up with Grandma and went to lunch at Fudruckers :) Zach had a blast "playing" with the video games and stuff while we waited :) He's getting to be such a big boy!!

Happy Halloween!!

Well I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween!! We had Such a fun (and busy) day!! To start off the day Joe took Zach into work (in his costume) to kinda show him off :) Joe said Zach had a great time, and then when they came home I had to leave with Zach to his music class. They had told us all the kids could dress up, and every single kid came in costume, the CUTEST costumes!! Then they ended class a little early and let the kids trick-or-treat around the other classrooms! Zach was really getting into it, and was loving everyone else's costumes!

Then after lunch and a nap Zach was up and ready for round 2! We made a "spooky" grahm cracker house (of which he mostly jsut ate the candy!) and then we took off to do Trick-Or-Treating down Main Street in Springville with our great friends The Jones' :) It was SO much fun, and such a great way to trick or treat!! towards the end i got Zach out of the stroller and let him walk and then he really got excited then! He was signing thank you to the people and laughing. He would only carry his bucket for a minute then put it down and walk away, lol. So either Joe or I would end up carrying it :)

Then we took off to visit Dave (Joe's dad) at his office at BYU, and he was SO happy to take Zach around the office and show him off to his colleuges. After that we stopped by JT & Kasaundra's for a visit and then they came with us to Dave & Linda's for some pizza & some more trick-or-treating around Joe's parents neighborhood. It was so much fun!! after a trip around the block, Zach was having a last helping dave pass out candy. He would wait by the door, peering outside and as soon as he would hear kids coming he would get all excited and turn around to let DAve know, then when they would come up to the door he would open it and smile at them and jsut babble! Then he would wave (and say) bye bye to them and shut the door and wait all over again!! If by any chance he wandered away form the door, as SOON as the doorbell would ring he would RUN to the door and wait to help grandpa!!

It was such a fun day, and we had a blast!!
