Zachary is the coolest boy in town now with his new blue robot leg!!! He got it Tuesday night, and all the other kids are so jealous!!!!
That's right, we've had our first broken bone, and Zachary's handling it like a trooper. His independent ways got him a broken tibia (the large bone in the lower leg). We actually thought that he had bumped his head after falling off the bottom step of the sitter's car, so when we headed to the ER we were expecting much worse. Three x-rays and a CAT scan later, the doc gave him this super cool robot leg which he'll be wearing for the next 4-6 weeks.
He's been such a sport about it all. He's clung to his cars and will not go anywhere without them. And since he's challenged in the mobility department, he's been watching CARS the movie about 3 times a day (on and off). He's already figured out that he can still zoom his cars around the floor just like he did before.
We go back to the Orthopedist on Tuesday. Luckily we get to see the same great Doc that treated Morgan's broken arm who Mel Mel and Morgan highly recommend...what's the odds that we'd get the same doc....
In other news, Mommy's baby doesn't look like a baby at all anymore. Just a couple of weeks ago, Zachary got his first haircut. You can see the curls somewhat in this pic, but check out the previous post for the full affect.
And now look at him. Such a big boy!!! Mommy and Daddy were both fighting back the tears when Ms. Debbie chopped off those beautiful curls!!! Oh, it still saddens me. But people were mistaking him for a girl.... Is that funny or what - Olivia was always mistaken for a boy and Zach is mistaken for a girl....don't these people look at the kid's clothes before they ask????In other news, we have a new baby nephew. We just welcomed LP to the family. We'll post those pics soon. Mom and Dad are doing well and are basking in the joy of parenthood....between feedings of course!

He looks so handsome with his new haircut! So sorry to hear about the leg.. that's a bummer.. but at least it's not the middle of summer and you're having to keep him out of the pool.
Poor Zach. I saw him at church yesterday but he seemed to be handling the cast fine! His hair cut looks super cute!
Poor little guy! I agree with Kelly though. Better during cold weather so he doesn't sweat and itch to death under there!
I can't see the pics cause I am at work but I have already seen the cast and the BIG boy hair. Zach will be cruising around by this weekend like nothing is wrong. Seems like February is a bad month for our kids and injuries....I think next Feb I will keep mine wrapped in bubble wrap!!!
I love Zach's hair as he looks like such the little man but it is always sad to let those baby curls go. I guess we have to let them grow up sometime!
Poor baby!!! I broke the same bone in 2nd grade. I'm so glad he is in good spirits. He is such a good little boy. And that hair! He is such a cutie. He and Olivia are total dolls and it was so good seeing them and you again!
Poor Zach! At least his cast is cool blue. I can't believe you were able to make it so long without a haircut. I'm envious. Haircuts scare Evan so bad right now.
