The Handsome Man with Athletic Thighs
Running In Circles
 
Friday, November 3rd


Zack may have said his first word today. As I was changing his diaper, he looked up at me and distinctly said, "Iowa." Angie thinks he just made a noise that sounded like "Iowa" and wasn't really discussing the state at all. A bit later, however, I was trying to encourage Zack's newfound interest in geography, and I asked him which state was north of Missouri.

First he said, "Ah, ah, ah."

"No," I said, "I don't think that's a state at all."

"Ooh, ah," Zack said.

"That's not it, either."

Zack sneezed.

"Gesundheit," I said.

"Iowa," Zack responded.

"That's the one!"

Although Angie's opinion may differ, in my book we've heard Zack's first word.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
