Finally....

a sippy cup that works!

I can't believe he can suck from a straw! Amazing!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Zachary survived his first Thanksgiving! It was such a wonderful day! We started out at Granna and Grandads house. Zach ate his first bite of turkey and yams! He LOVED it! It was so cute to see him sitting at the table getting excited for all the food!

Family Photo!

Sorry...I have to post all of them because I can't decide which one I like best :)

Playing with GAB and Josh!

Giving loves!

After Granna and Grandads house....we headed over to see Nona and Pop Pop! Zach loves to play with his Aunt Rachie!

How sweet!

Zach had a great first Thanksgiving!

A Visit with Max

Today we went over to Nona and Pop Pop's house to visit with Zach's cousin Max. Zach and Max have never really had the chance to play together because Zach has always been so little. Well now that Zach is into playing and seeing other kids, we thought it would be great to get the boys together!

Here they are sitting on the floor together!

Max was much more interested in his toys than playing with Zach :)

Zach and Aunt Teri

Max

Look at that face!

Aunt Mary got Max a new trike for his birthday. At first Max wanted nothing to do with it, but that didn't stop Zach! He loved it!

Then Max decided to sit on it.

Zach and his favorite ball!

Whew!!!!!!

Zach is finally feeling better! It was a long week! His little nose has finally stopped running and he seems to be fully back to his bubbly little self. Hooray! Here he is practicing his tummy time. He is getting stronger...only a matter of time before he crawls :)



Could you not eat that face!?

Love the tongue!

Poor Baby!

Zach officially has his first bad cold. My poor little guy has a runny nose which makes it so hard to sleep :)
Luckily, for the most part, he is still his chipper little self!

New Wheels!

We finally decided to get Zach a new stroller. He was just so uncomfortable in the old one. I think this one will be a keeper. He fussed when we took him out :)

Rolling Over!

There was a time when Chris and I wondered if Zach would ever roll over. Then on his 6 month birthday he did it. He went from tummy to back. Then nothing for a month or so. Then again he did it, this time from back to tummy. And once again we found ourselves waiting! Oh my...those days are over! At 8 months old, Zach is rolling all over the place...non stop! His favorite spot is our bed. He goes crazy rolling all over the place. Back to belly....belly to back...back to belly...and so on...
Take a look!

He is thinking about it...

And he's off!

What a workout!

Sure mommy...I'll pose for the picture!

And...he's off again!

I'm pooped!

All the while....Jaxie is just snoozing next to him!

Happy Birthday Puppies!

Tonight, at the last minute, we decided to celebrate Jax and Ellie's 3rd birthday! I can't believe they are 3 years old already. Zach was totally into this whole cake and candle thing. He was very interested! The dogs enjoyed their new presents and of course the cake!

Here I am trying to get them near the candles. Ellie was scared. Jax just wanted to eat it!

Ellie stayed as far away as possible!

Here we are...check out Jax! He looks like he is blowing out the candle. Look at his ear!

Zach and Granna!

The puppies getting presents from Granna!

Look at my sons feet...how sweet!

The puppies eating their ice cream cake!

Look at Ellie's tongue!

Jax finished off Ellie's plate too!

We decided to bring out the Santa hat for Zach!

Bah Hum Bug!

Now he's getting in the spirit!

Clearly...too much egg nog!
