So, on 06/19/08 (last Thursday), Zack took his first two steps! Rich was trying to help him balance on his feet and let go...Zack tried to catch his balance by taking two steps forward. He has yet to do it again, and I think it may be awhile because he seems a little afraid to stand on his own - - he will immediately plop down on his butt if you let go of his hand. I think we may have tooth #7 coming in, but right now it's still under the surface and just irritating him. Poor guy...
Rich and I have been happily in love since 2000. After unsuccessfully trying to have kids, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and, therefore, we cannot have biological children. We adopted our son Zack through a private adoption from a family member. We hope to someday grow our family further, but for now, we are soaking up every second with our little man. We are also foster parents, which can be both very rewarding and very challenging...but we do our best. We are currently in the process of adopting "Lil' Baby" from the foster system. We've been blessed to have both of our children since they were one day old.
