June 5, 2007, 4:30 AM. Zachary John Olson was born. This precious round bundle came into our lives. Pink, perfect and precious. All 8 lbs and 4 ounces. Today, June 5th, 2008 is his first birthday. What a great celebration. Zach got lots of phone calls from family and friends wishing him a happy birthday. We had cake and Zachy got some great gifts. He looked so cute in this birthday hat! This sweet boy is incredible. He is always laughing, smiling, chuckling and is so easy going. He has 4 cute little teeth, chubby feet, a round little bottom, curly blonde hair, a perfect button nose and the most beautiful blue eyes you have ever seen. Zachy worships his brother whom he lovingly calls, "Daaado". He says Da Da, Ma Ma , Uh Oh, No No, Ohhhh, and UP! He waves bye bye, blows bubbles and is taking 6 or 7 steps at a time. He loves the swimming pool and the bathtub, graham crackers, ice cream , peas, watermelon, strawberries and, well, eating in general. He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth and he likes to bite! He is admired by all the people whom he smiles at in Walmart, at restaurants and everywhere else we go. He brings a smile to everyone's face when he enters the room. Zachy loves music and is starting to dance, and loves to drum and "pat pat" on tables. He claps and cheers when he is happy. We call him Zachy and he laughs when we say, "Go Zachy, Go Zachy, GO GO GO!" He loves to cuddle with his blanket and sit in Daddy's lap at night until he falls asleep. He loves to wrestle and jump on the bed with David. And he loves to sit and cuddle and be near Mommy. This year has gone by so fast. All the nausea, heartburn, stretchmarks, sleepless nights, backaches and crabiness were worth it and more. Zachary John Olson. Thank you for the joy you have brought us this past year. You are a precious angel and we can't wait to see you grow. We love you! Love, Mommy, Daddy and David.
