Abbie, Bud and Zabe

It's been awhile since I've had a regular post about Zabe.  He continues to keep us crackin' up all the time, by the things he's doing. It's crazy how much his little brain takes in each day.  Absolutely amazing how quickly he can learn things and go with it.  For instance, I was winking at him last week and asked if he could wink, he just smiled, later that day I asked him if he could wink and sure enough he has the winking down.  It so cute, because his chubby cheeks get a dimple under his eye when he does it.  Priceless.  I have to get this on video!

He's also picking up on more names, last week he also started saying Ann.  Auntie was a little excited about that. 

He loves to look at the pictures on the refrigerator, and says baby for Jenna and Cayden and a couple nights ago he said Jayge, for J.J.  He loves J.J. and get so excited when I talk to him about J.J. 

He also of course is still saying Abbie, Emmy, deer, door, ball, baby, go, book, papa, dada, and some that I can't think of.  Oh, also, when you ask him what Santa says, Ho, Ho, Ho.

LOVES his brother/puppy Howie.

He is still loving the books.  24/7

STILL not walking.  I really think he could do it if he just let go, but he's just not interested yet.  Whatever.

He was 14 months yesterday.

Zabe hasn't had a nuk, for months and months, they've been in his toys, usually he will push them arounds, or haul them in his truck.  The other day, he was so quiet, I turned around to look at him, figured he was reading and oh no, he had a nuk in his mouth.   Turkey!!

**Zabe had a doctor appointment on Monday for an x-ray of his stomach, to see how he's healing.  We hadn't been to Mayo for a month! (time flies, feels like we were there last week) Everything looked good, they could still see the burn on his esophagus but there was no narrowing of the esophagus so that was good news!  I believe we will be having a follow up with the doctor we have seen who did the original scopes sometime in the near future.  HOPEFULLY, we can get him off these medications real soon.  I think the steroid is doing a number on his body, we weighed him the other day and he was 40lbs!
