Zac eating chocolate cake icing

It very obvious that Zac loves chocolate. He won't stop saying "mmmmmmm" after every bite of chocolate. I gave him chocolate cake icing and this is what his reaction.

Happy Birthday Lolo and Lola!

August is his lolo and lola's birthday month so I decided to bake a cake for them and take a picture of it with Zac. Lolo means grandfather in Tagalog (language in the Philippines) and lola means grandmother. His lolo's birthday is actually today and his lola's birthday is on the 29th.

I was afraid at first because Zac might grab the cake infront of him so what I did was I put his arms under the tray of his high chair and took a quick shot hehe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOLO AND LOLA!

Zac and his first Glass Festival

Yesterday was the first time Zac watched the Glass Festival Parade. People in the parade gave away candies to the watchers, some just threw candies at them. There was this woman who gave Zac a ring pop. He was so excited to have it and his reaction was funny. One of the guy also gave him a hand clapper and oh my! he held that hand clapper the whole time we watched the parade. Another funny reaction of Zac is when the firetruck came and he heard the loud siren lol! He pouted which is a sign that he will start to cry hehe. I so love every bits of you Zac :)

Zac and his great grandma

Zac just turned 8 months today woohooo!!! He is really growing so fast and oh my! he is getting heavier everyday too.

Today is also his great grandma's 86th birthday. We all went to the nursing home where she lives to visit her and greet her Happy Birthday. I wish her to live longer and good health. I am also happy for Zac that he was able to have a pic with his great grandma. I am sure that when he grow up, he will have a picture to how to his future kids on what his great grandma look like hehe.

Zac playing with his lips and tongue

I caught Zac discovering how to make sound using his tongue and lips lol! It was funny caz when I saw him the first time doing this, I grabbed the cam to film it but then he stopped after seeing me holding the cam. I grabbed the cam when he did it the second time but then he stopped again after seeing the cam on. On the third time, I snuck up on him while he was playing with his lips and tongue. Here is the video of him lol!

6 month old Zac

Ok! I am trying to catch up in posting Zac's milestone hehe.

Zac's Milestone
(6 month old)

• Keep head level when pulled to sitting position
• Reach for and grabs objects and toys
• Sit without support
• Get upset if you take a toy away
• Pull up to standing position from sitting
• Work at getting a toy that is out of reach
• Pick up small objects with fingers
• Babble and combine two syllable sounds
• He likes to wiggle
• He discovered that letting go of something is as much fun as picking it up
• Pass object from one hand to the other

Zac and his Curtains

We have been looking around in different stores looking for the right curtain for Zac's nursery room. Yes, he has his own room now. I actually don't know if I am happy about this because he has his own room now and I'll be able to sleep in bed with my husband again or I'll be sad because I already got use to sleeping in bed with Zac laying next to me.
I think I am the one who has anxiety separation and not my son :( Anyway, we bought a futon for his room so there is a couch to sit in during day time and a bed to lay in in case I have to watch him at night. We painted his room baby blue because I think that that is the perfect color for his room. His crib bedding is color blue too.

Zac's grandpa bought him a "Cars Game Rug" two days ago. It is an interactive game rug where he bought at Kmart. We were thinking of what theme will be Zac's room but since his grandpa already bought "Cars" item then I thought "Why not Cars?".

We scouted on 4 different stores yesterday looking for curtains for kids and we didn't find the one we are looking for. Today, we went to Walmart to look for curtain and we finally found Cars Window Panel. This made me happy because at long last the search is over lol!

Renal Ultrasound result

Ok, this post should be posted before the VCUG result but I just got the Renal Ultrasound result that is why this is late. This is the result of the kidney ultrasound:

INDICATIONS: Congenital Hydronephrosis

COMPARISON: 1/18/10

REPORT: Renal ultrasound was performed. The kidneys appear to be a of normal size. The right kidney measures 6.4 cm in length and the left kidney measures 6.6 cm. There is moderate left sided pelvocaliectasis has developed since 1/18/10. There is no evidence of right sided hydronephrosis. No renal masses are identified. Renal cortical echogenicity is normal.

A single of the urinary bladder was obtained which was unremarkable. The patient did immediately void and we were unable to asses for bilateral ureteral jets which can be an indicator of ureteral patency.

IMPRESSION: Moderate sided pelvocaliectasis which has developed since the prior study. Normal apperance of the right kidney. We were unable to asses for ureteral jets as described. One might consider a follow up intravenous pyelogram if there is a need to further evaluate a possible left sided obstruction.

So that was the result. You can't actually notice that Zac has a kidney problem because he acts like a normal kid. Yes, it says it was congenital which means he inherited it. I didn't had any kidney problem and so in my family so I asked my hubby, and according to him, kidney problem runs in his family. From his mom, to him and his two sisters. I just hope that his kidney problem will get solved so that he will be done with this ordeal.

I love him so much that sometimes it scare me on what will happen next.
