Zachy

Its has been especially hard to go so long without seeing our cute little one-year-old Zachy. Those little ones grow and change so quickly, we're glad we got to be with him at such a cute age. He was a real trooper on this trip as we hauled him everywhere—of course, I would have been pretty happy to have someone haul me on their back up all those stairs to the Great Wall!



Zachy is so cute trying to say a few words. Since his Ayi speaks Chinese to him all day, I'm pretty sure some of those words are Chinese.









Zachy loves playing follow the leader - and he is always the leader of course. He especially loves to do it at the dinner table, and of course we all play along.



Whenever we were out sightseeing, he attracted so much attention from the Chinese people. They would just mob him, taking pictures, wanting to be in pictures with him, pinching his cheeks, poking him, patting his head, and he was a pretty good sport about it—most of the time.



We saw lots babies wearing traditional Chinese "split pants." Here Zachy meets a little friend who is dressed in girl clothes, but is obviously a boy! We could never really figure out how people dared taking their babies out in public with these pants - but we never saw any accidents.















Sure had fun with this cute, cute little boy!
