Hiya, you are probably wondering if we found the camera. The answer is no but we have a video camera that can take photos so this is what i'll be using for the time being. I may try video-ing. We will see as it's different to upload onto the blog.
As you can see by the photo, Ethan is much improved. He has a bruise on the side of his cheek when he fell into a four legged wooden chair. You can also see that he's got a lot of teeth. We have started brushing them as there are so many... but its a struggle as he usually bite down on the toothbrush and won't let go.
He likes toys and books that make noises and this past Friday, Mama Zee came with us to Lancaster for some retail therapy. We managed to buy a whole bunch of books that make automobile noises, boat noise, bird, grasshopper and one that even sounds like the toilet flushing.
Ethan is getting really good at eating with his fork and spoon and there seems to be less and less dropping onto the floor- fingers crossed. ;)
Adam came home yesterday which was really great for the both of us. Ethan missed his daddy very much.
He has added to his repertoire of animal noises and can also do a monkey. Which is usually "Ahhh ooh".
He has started to refer to bottles of juice as "Nay Nay" which before usually meant milk bottle which is interesting.
He has also started talking on and on .. ba ba ba ba da da dad , ahhhhh! etc and at increasing loud volumes. Adam got woken up by his Screaming BAAAA!!!!!!! BAAAAA!!!!! BA!!!!!!!!! this morning. LOL.
Today, we went over to Mama and Papa Zee's for Sunday lunch. It was awesome. We had roast beef, carrots, leeks, roast potatoes , yorkshire puddings and for pudding(what we call dessert) plum crumble with custard- it was soooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooood. Ethan ate lots and lots and no food dropped to the floor! He really liked the yorkshire pudding and carrots and gravy and potatoes...he liked EVERYTHING.
Papa Zee is doing really well and recovering for losing a kidney but sometimes sneaks around doing things he shouldn't so he hurt his side and is taking painkillers. Naughty Papa zee.
Daddy, who gained a kidney, has been usually going for a nap between 5pm-7pm ish every evening and he is walking without any pain. He looks skinnier but this is a good thing as the water retention, during the dialysis period - pre operation, has all gone. And with drinking 3-4 litres of water every day- its no wonder he has no water retention as he has to go to the bathroom often. We joke like he is a pregnant man since he has a scar like a large cesaerean and has to go to the bathroom so much.
That's it for now. Tomorrow Ethan will be 16months old!
This time last year, this was where we were at. http://www.ethanzahler.com/2007/08/back-at-work.html
I was pretty miserable as I was going to head back to work and Ethan would go to the nanny's and Adam was having headaches every day before we discovered he had kidney failure. What a year this has been...
