Zacharie turns 9 months old today. Yesterday we went to the doc (Dr Smillie - how cool a name is that?!) to get his measurements and check up done.
We also wanted some extra stuff done as we get ready to head off to France in 3 weeks. Woah, already?
So the stats are: 74cm long, and 9.33kg. He’s grown 20cm and almost tripled his weight since birth. That puts him in the 75th percentile for height, and 50th for weight - a nice tall, lean boy. Perfect!
Some other things about Z:
He LOVES to stand. We’ve been having him stand since he was born, always balancing him that way, and now that he’s been crawling for about a week and a half, he’s wanting to move to the next step. That means pulling himself up on anything he can find.
He likes to play peek a boo. He’ll pull a blanket or cloth over his face for a second, we’ll do a “Where’s Zacharie?” and then he pulls it down with a big smile, only to put it back up seconds later. This can go on a couple dozen times.
He’s very chatty. Ba Ba Ba Ba or Ma Ma Ma Ma are the sounds he makes, oh along with growling and grunting when he can’t get his way. We’re trying sign language, and he can make the sign for milk, and we think it’s in context, although part of it is just a movement he likes to make with his hand.

The email came back yesterday, I’ve submitted my registration papers, paid my deposit and have been accepted as a member of Team Diabetes: Easter Island.
Now comes the fun part. $10 000 in the next year, all of it going towards Diabetes research in Canada. That’s what this little button the left is for. Click it and you’ll go directly to my fundraising page with Team Diabetes. The money goes right to them, they’ll process your tax receipt and the donation automatically counts towards my fundraising goal.
I have already committed to donating all my freelancing funds to the cause, and thanks to some Twitter pals, a corporate video voice over gig could soon be coming my way.
If you’re a professional holding an event, or producing a video, or starting up a marketing campaign, I will waive my fee to do your work, in exchange for an equal donation to Team Diabetes. You get the work done professionally, while at the same time scooping a charitable tax receipt. Sounds win-win to me!
In addition to money, one of the other ways I’ll be asking for help, is technologically. Team Diabetes has got the online donations going smoothly, but there aren’t slick buttons or widgets to throw in to the site. I made that button roughly this morning. If you’re graphics whiz, or php star and can whip up a button or plugin that I can spread around and have people post on their own blogs to raise for the cause, please let me know.
