Personality

Zackary seems to need to multi-task all the time. He's been this way for most of his life. He got to a point when he was about 6 months old that he couldn't just lay there and take a bottle -- he would need something (or many things) to play with and entertain him. This transitioned to his high chair when he started eating table food. I know this is breaking some kind of "good parenting" rules but it was necessary to ensure that the child received the proper nutrition. Tonight for example, he decided he would hold his bottle and I could read a book. Normally I still hold his bottle, even though he knows how, and I'm not looking forward to giving up "ba" even though I know it needs to happen soon. He's such a busy boy and I look forward to our "quiet" time each night before bed.

One of his favorite meal time activities is looking through magazines. He especially enjoys the ones that include toys and he points out all the balls!

Doesn't he look serious?!

This is Zackary not doing what Mommy would like him to. I was trying to get him to sit on the end of the couch and take his picture . . . . since he is now 15 months old . . . he had other ideas!

Cute . . . but not what I was aiming for!

He was done . . . and ready for dinner!!

Greenfield Village

Today we went to Greenfield Village for a couple hours and this was the first visit for Zackary. We had a fun time! He loved the horses pulling the carriages. Another highlight for him was the old cars driving by and he would make the "vroom" car sound.

I purposely didn't crop this picture because Zackary is looking at the chickens, he was fasinated by them walking around and wasn't scared.

Isn't this funny . . . he had to squat down to see between the slats . . . these were the sheep.

Zackary petting the sheep - they feel pretty neat!

Mommy & Zackary went on the 75 year old (I think) carousel. He did great but I think he liked the music the best!

Singin' In The Rain . . .

Last Sunday Grandma Joyce took Zackary outside to walk around in the rain. He convinced her to go to the backyard and get his bottle of bubbles too!

Our Labor Day Weekend

I realize this post is a little late but these four day weeks seems to fly. Not to mention that Zackary is teething (some more) and caught a cold, so he was very clingy for a couple days. Luckily he is feeling better today and we had a good day.

Last weekend we went to our trailer at Somerset Beach Campground and our friends the Tomlin family were also there. It was a beautiful weekend and we had a nice time.

Neither one are smiling -- the "Little Guy" was ready for a nap!

I LOVE this picture (thanks Dawn)!

Sand between his toes was a new experience. He was reaching for a rock.

Zackary & Brady enjoying the swings.

Zackary and Mommy were waiting for Daddy to bring the sailboat in for us to go for ride. Unfortunately Zackary was miserable in his life jacket, so it was a short ride.

Spending time on the beach -- still unsure of the whole experience. Can you tell by his face?

Playing with Daddy's new shoes -- we found a way to keep him in one place, he couldn't walk in these!!
