LOL<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe how much time has flown!\u00a0 I remember how excited JJ was to be a big brother.\u00a0 How we went to the hospital to &#8220;get&#8221; a baby. LOL\u00a0 He was the proudest big brother I have ever seen.\u00a0 He still is&#8230;unless Zack steals a toy he wants&#8230;haha.\u00a0 Zachary is so big now.\u00a0 He says quite a few words, but of course he&#8217;s got his momma&#8217;s stubborness and only says them when he wants too because if you ask him too, sometimes he&#8217;ll get that gleam in his eye and just laugh at you.<\/p>\n<p>If you ask him what color things are he&#8217;ll just laugh and just say &#8216;blue&#8217; to everything.\u00a0 He&#8217;s obsessed with doggies, but loves animals of every kind.\u00a0 He would spend all day outdoors riding his favorite scoot &amp; ride radio flyer bike and search for bugs and dig in the dirt.\u00a0 If he sees a puddle from the rain, he&#8217;ll splash, sit and lay in it.\u00a0 By the time he&#8217;s done, no longer will there be a puddle. LOL<\/p>\n<p>He loves to tell you what sounds animals say.\u00a0 And I bribe him to do it just to see the faces he makes to say them because it makes us laugh.\u00a0 I love asking him to &#8216;show me those lips&#8217; because he puckers his lips like fishy lips to give you a kiss and gives you eskimo kisses which puts him into fits of giggles, which is contagious!\u00a0 He looks up to his big brother, JJ and wants to do everything he does and I just love watching everything they do together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so funny because you tell Zachary it&#8217;s his birthday today and he throws his arms in the air and in a high pitched voice and says &#8220;yay!&#8221;. LOL<\/p>\n<p>So, my love&#8230;.looking back on how much you&#8217;ve grown on the past 2 yrs has made me realize that it&#8217;s all the little things in life that really count each and every day.\u00a0 Sometimes in our daily lives we get so busy that we truly forget that.\u00a0 Thank you for bringing so much joy and love to our family!\u00a0 We love you very much!<\/p>\n<p>Happy 2nd Birthday, Zachary!<\/p>\n<p>A few days old:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zachary-john-026.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-363\" title=\"zachary-john-026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zachary-john-026.jpg?w=497\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zachary-john-026.jpg 504w, https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zachary-john-026-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, his 2nd birthday:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zack.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-364\" title=\"zack\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"336\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zack.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.teresasweetphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/zack-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this day, 2 yrs ago&#8230;our second son, Zachary John was born.\u00a0 Of course the little bugger didn&#8217;t want to arrive on time, so I was induced but boy, it was great because it was only 1 hr and 39 min of labor so I can&#8217;t complain.
