Zackary's First Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. Zackary was much more into the presents (mostly the paper & bows) than we expected, so it was a lot of fun!!

Here is a sample of the many pictures we took!

Our Family

What a great bow Daddy put on his gift!

Paper, wonderful paper!!

A moment of reflection.

London is checking out Zackary's new toy and Zackary is checking out London's blinking sweater!

This is the best part!

Makes my thumb taste even better!

What's this?

Wow . . . this is fun! Thanks Daddy!

The day after Christmas Zackary tasted sweet potatoes for the first time and loved them!!!

Our Big Boy

Mommy was at the computer and when she turned around, Zackary was on his tummy!

Daddy is glad he can't read his bib that says "I'm the Boss" . . . but I think he already knows it!

New Perspective

Zackary is doing much better at sitting on his own. He seems to enjoy the new perspective on the world and is playing well on his own.

He did it!

Zackary rolled over today!!! I was so excited and started cheering. He looked up and smiled at me, it was so sweet! This afternoon he rolled over again. Our camera broke over the weekend and the new one didn't arrive until this afternoon, so I don't have any pictures . . . but I'm sure he'll do it again and I'll be able to take a picture.

Still Trying . . .

Almost but not quite!

Even though I don't look like it, I'm having fun!

I love my feet! They are so much fun to play with.

Wow, look at all the lights!

Photo Shoot

There is definately something to be said for digital cameras. I've been thinking about how much wasted film I would have if it weren't for digital. I took 16 pictures of Zackary in exactly the same place yesterday, all in an attempt to get a "good one". Of course they are all cute in their own little way, but he is anticipating the flash now, so I get some goofy looks. Here is a sample for your amusement.

My New Bib Is Fun

Grammy & Pop Pop bought Zackary a new bib while they were in Mississippi. It wipes off so it is different than the other bibs he usually wears.

Last Saturday we went to Midland to visit with the Bedell family. This is great-grandma and cousin Sarah.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Love,

Zackary

Weekend Pictures

Safe!!

London is staying with us and let's just say Zackary is more fascinated by her than she is with him.

Zackary's Storybook

This morning we had an appointment with a photographer to start Zackary's Storybook album. The album is something we'll continue to add to as he grows. The album will contain a picture & the appropriate story on each page. Today we did "This Little Piggy" (pose 184) & "Over the River" (190). His expression on the other "Over the River" picture was pretty cute! The pictures will be posted for a week.

Yummy in my Tummy

A week ago Zackary had rice cereal for the first time. As the week has gone on, he has quickly mastered eating off a spoon. Of course he "sucks" it off but that is only natural. Mommy is on vacation until after Thanksgiving, so we're looking forward to many days together!

Fun Visits

Last Thursday Zackary had his 4 month check-up and vaccinations. He weighs 17 lbs. 11 ounces and is 26 1/4 inches long and is doing great.

He is still trying to roll over and enjoys playing with his toys.

We went to visit Great-Grandma Bedell on Saturday morning. Zackary had a lot of fun playing with her. And then in the afternoon Great-Aunt Carol and Great-Uncle Wayne came to visit us, so we had a really fun day!

Happy Halloween

Zackary was an adorable little pumpkin. Daddy carved the pumpkin and did an awesome job. Mommy didn't know he was so talented!!
