Little Zekey

What a fun little character our Zeke is. He is happy, energetic, creative, and says the funniest things and pulls the funniest facial expressions. I think he likes the laughs. I love his random questions throughout the day~ "Mom, are there big blue bunnies on this earth?"~ Or one night he kept calling me and calling me after I'd tucked him in and was in bed myself. I went into his dim room and asked what he needed. Holding up his little arm and pointing to the outside, "What's back there? I can't see it?" I told him it was just skin, and it looked just like the part he could see. This satisfied him and he was able to sleep. Sometimes when I tuck him in he asks me which side of his body he should lay on. He's always satisfied with whatever I pick and is able to nestle in. I love as well as his constant "Mom, I love you!'s" Such a sweet guy. He can get grumpy, which is even adorable. Once he was mad at me for not letting him do something and he told me that when he grows up He's going to drive me to the Doctors!

His energy and curiosity often drive me crazy. He loves eggs. Like loves to crack them open and look at them. He sneaks them upstairs and does this on the bathroom floor. Just yesterday he requested I help him make scrambled eggs, where he insists on cracking the egg~ he's pretty good at this by now~ and then got a plate with separate squares and cracked a raw one just to look at. (And eventually dump a whole lot stuff from the fridge and mix it all up) Whenever we go to the store he asks if we can get him a "project". Paint, play-dough, something with glue and scissors. Sometimes he'll come up to me and ask me if I need to smooch him. Well, of course I do! He'll lean me his cheek while I kiss away. I tell him we sure waited and waited for him to come to our family and now that he is here, our family is complete and soooooo happy. His response: I know, right?

It was fun to get things ready for his big day. Thanks to Christine the bulk of his gifts were Little People, which was a hit. He's also really into Super Heros and loved his new action figures (along with his big bro's). They were brought along to the park that day for a pic-nic.

Paisley made him a sweet card that really made him happy. Sooo sweet.

I found a cake that was perfect to hold the "Avenger" squad. He loved his Super Hero cake. Like 10 slices loved it.

We shared it with Grandpa and Grandma Geertsen that evening at good ol' Chuck-E-Cheeses. He fell asleep on the way home. What a little sweetie.
