Question for Many houseapes..

I'm sorry if I've missed it in other posts, but how is baby Zachary doing? I remember that he was sick a few months back and I think of him often and keep him in my prayers.

Aw, that is so sweet of you to remember him

Thanks.
Zachary is doing fine at the moment. about 3 weeks ago he was overcoming another case of bronchitis...but he pulled through it.PTL
He is catching up with his development...he's able to pull himself up & stand without any help,he's been walking on his knees too-we're just waiting for him to get the courage to walk on his feet.lol. He can sit straight up & play w/2 toys at the same time,can play peek-a-boo,throw kisses and is learning how to point & pick up cookies to to feed himself(goobers the cookie enough to make it soft to eat.lol). The swallowing disorder is gradually clearing up-he doesn't have the 'gag reflex" like he did & pretty soon we hope to have him off of the baby food. He can now say mama,dada,"this", "I did it!" he says 'zach" and tried to say his sister's name yesterday

Come January,we will know more about what the heart specialist wants to do about the valve in Zachary's heart...he said that the hole should close on its own but that he wants to wait until Zachary gets a little older to do surgery to close the valve. Right now, its not really giving him problems other than he gets a little tired when he's trying to accomplish a physical activity,but he has good color and seems to be doing okay- just have to monitor it.
Zachary will be 15 months old on the 30th.
