Motoring


This little guy has started walking!! He took a couple of single steps about 3-4 weeks ago but hasn't really made any other attempts since then. Instead he has been able to stand independently waving his arms and lower down into a crouch and then stand again. I've been amazed that he has shown this much strength and stability without actually walking as well.


Yesterday, he walked 5 steps across the room to get a balloon, bent down to pick up and then stood again. No fuss. No fanfare. No attention. Just walked across the room to get what he wanted. I suppose this means he's a toddler now and no longer my baby...even when I'm watching they still grow up too fast!







We start them young at our house! 
(Actually I think the bat is wedge into his belly and is
helping him to stay standing!)

Vacation pictures

Zach and Great-Grammy enjoying the deck


Eli discovered this spot and loved to climb into the space every chance he got!!


Not sure what was said but it looks serious.


Eli and Grrrrrreat Aunt M


Wii Mario Kart.  I'm so ashamed.

A very merry un-birthday

The Birthday Boy

Way back on June 26th we celebrated Zach's birthday! My mother and sister made an awesome tractor trailer truck cake!!! Steve and I aren't sure how 3 1/2 years have passed so quickly but somehow our tiny baby boy has become a preschooler with his own personality and sense of humor. It is a joy to watch him change and grow every day!
