Zachary The evening Explorer

September 20, 2007

Every night for the past week, we have been hearing door banging noises upstairs when Zachary is suppose to fall asleep with Pau Pau.  Zachary now has a new before-bed-time routine.  Every night Zachary has to open, explore, and close every closet or bedroom door before he gets tired out and eventually gets drowsy on my mom’s shoulder.  It’s annoying to Chris when he is watching his favorite TV shows and then all this noise coming from the ceiling.  It’s almost like living in an apartment with people coming in and out constantly.  Hope this phase will pass soon.

Ah, relief

September 19, 2007

I made it back alive from my first chiropractor visit today.  My neck and shoulder pains have worsen that massage therapy doesn’t seem to help anymore.  So I was brave and let Dr. Azarow perform some adjustments on my hip bones, sacrum (tailbone), shoulders, and the occipital bone (connecting head and spinal cord).  She used a drop table which holds some body parts in position while letting another body part drop with her pressure.  Dr. Azarow said that I must soak in Epsom salt to relieve soreness tonight.  The alignment of my bones is only part of the correction.  I must begin an exercise routine to strengthen my back muscles and add pillows for better support for sleeping.  Well, I do feel soar and less stiff as I turn my head.  I will have to see her 2-3 times a week for the first 2 months to stabilize my alignment. Then maybe my problem will be under control.

The Classic Wagon

wagon

I have always pictured little boys growing up with a nice classic red wagon.  Now thanks to Curtis and Jeff (and Cindy and Cliff for putting it together), Zachary is going to enjoy this wagon, sharing fun rides with his little friends.  With the sophisticated all-terrain wheels, Zachary can take it almost anywhere.

First Cheese Experience

September 11, 2007

We went to the new bowling place in Cupertino called Strike on Sunday with Chris’s work social group.  Zachary kept pointing to the bowling balls and saying “ba bal” indicating that he wants a ball.  He does not realize that it’s a very heavy ball and even though he is strong, he can’t hold a bowling ball yet.  He was not very happy about that so we had to turn his attention to the food.  The group ordered light snacks and there was fried mozzarella cheese that Zachary could try.  He Loved it.  “Maw Maw”, he would say and I give him another small piece.   I guess he did not get the “I hate Cheese” gene from Chris.  Mommy will buy more cheese this week.

Uncle Curtis and Jeff came to visit Zachary on Labor Day weekend.  Zachary drives them around town in Uncle Will’s newest toy.  Here is a photo of Uncle Jeff introducing Zachary to the strawberry ice cream bar.
