Other IMPORTANT information

While on vacation Zachary learned to clap and it is cute because he will do it on demand. Zachary has also learned how to blow kisses. You have to see it to believe it but I must warn you that once you see it it will make your heart melt. It is so cute because he gets so excited when doing either one!

Dimitri chipped a tooth within the last three days, we will be calling the dentist to see if he can file it down a little bit (it sounds worse than what it really is but we don't want to take away from that cute smile). It is only a baby tooth but still he will have them for the next four years or more right?

Dimitri became MR. INDEPENDENT while we were on vacation. Now he has to dress himself (pants, shirts, underwear, socks-you name it). We know this is a great step forward but it was frustrating when we were in a hurry. Dimitri would get angry when we would try to help him. Within the last 24 hours he thinks that he can tie his own shoes too! We are trying to encourage him and we are trying to be patient but this is definitely frustrating stage for ALL of us! He has started singing little songs too (Head, shoulders, knees and toes is our favorite). Just another reminder that our little boy is growing up!

We will try to get these events on video to share with everyone!
