Sitting Tall

Hi Folks!

Here are a couple of pictures of Zachary sitting up on his own (unsupported)! He's such a big strong boy, who is musically inclined, we might add.

Enjoy!







Love to all!

Our Trip to Cali - Part Two!

Hi Folks!

One of the things we did while in Cali was spend time with Kim's brothers, their wives, Cousin Aveline and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. On the Saturday that we were there, Zachary got to meet his Great, Great Aunt Evelyn, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Arnie, Cousins Nancy and her son Ben. Nancy and Kim had a great time admiring each other's sons. Aunt Sharon and Uncle Arnie were so excited to meet Zachary in person, although they felt like they already knew him from reading this blog (which made Mommy and Daddy feel good).

Here are the pictures from when we all got together!

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!
