Pictures from Cali - Part One

Hello folks!

We apologize for the delay in posting pictures, we've had a whirlwind of a week. We had a fabulous time in Cali...Zachary loved meeting more of his mommy's side of the family and did very well on the plane.

Zachary started eating fruit today. So far he has had only had cereal, (he loves oatmeal!) and veggies, (carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans and peas). Today we added applesauce. He loved it!

As many of you know, last month Zachary started saying "mama." It seems like he has recently learned to say "da" too! He really loves to make all sorts of noises and we really love to hear it. He continues to love rolling and is starting to get up on his knees and creep backwards. He also is enjoying sitting. He can sit independently for a few moments, but loves to sit, leaning against us.

We took so many pictures we are just going to post them in groups over the next few days. Here's some fun ones!

Love to all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for in our lives, but this year we are so blessed to have Zachary and the fact that he is doing so well, despite his early arrival. We are thankful that we both have such wonderful families and friends and all that God has blessed us with. We hope that all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Here's a picture of Zachary (and Magellan) that just makes us smile at the sweetness of Zachary.

Be safe and love to all!

When the weather outside is frightful (by Houston standards...)

Bundle Zachary up!

By the way...look how big he is in his car seat now...the picture below is from when we took him home from the NICU, (back on May 21st). He's such a big boy now!



Love to all!

A typical evening

Hi folks!

We thought that you might want to experience what we get to enjoy most evenings. Zachary is rolling around all over the place and giggles often. The first video is the rolling, then comes the giggling! Life with Zachary is so much fun!

Love to all!

P.S. We still have pictures to post too...keep checking back (and please leave our sweet boy some comments!) MUAH!
