Dancing baby!

More buggy babies

Here you go Dad! :-) Check out the new improved buggy with new straps and a nice canopy for the summer. That's Emily in front with Zachary, Lathan is grinning in back with Jack.

How Zachary feels about being in his crib...

Walking, for real!

I think we can officially say today that Zachary has taken his first steps - he can walk back and forth between us. He can do about 4 steps and then he stops but he doesn't fall down! He is very excited. :-)

Checking out the new house

Walking!

Another exciting event of the weekend was when Zachary figured out all by himself how to walk with his toy ferryboat. It won't be long now...

First trip to the beach

This weekend we went to visit Grandmother and Granddad and we all went to the beach. Zachary didn't quite know what to think about the asand at first, but he loved the water - he kept trying to crawl off into the ocean! We all had fun, at the beach and the rest of the weekend.

Watching Daddy mow

More puppy love...

Time capsule

We downloaded all the pictures off Charles's phone today and he had some really cute pictures of Zach - it was fun to see how much he has changed.

Communication

Zachary started waving bye-bye yesterday! Also, this morning I heard a distinct 'Uh oh!' when he dropped his cracker on the floor for Tootie to eat. And when we looked out the window at Daddy mowing the grass, he said 'Da!'

In other developments, tooth #8 is here, and he took his first tiny step today!

New house

Exciting news! Our new house is starting to take shape. We're going to start a new blog to keep up with the progress - keep an eye out for a link.

Eleven months old!

I can't believe that in one more month my baby will be one year old. We spent the past weekend at my Uncle Warren and Aunt Linda's farm. While we were there, Zachary started standing up in the middle of the floor. The first time he did it, he used Andrew's shoes as ballast. Then he started doing it all over the place. He gets really tickled when he does it! Kathleen thinks he'll be walking by the end of the week. He may have gotten delayed a little bit though - he turned up with a fever today so we had to pick him up early from school. It could have to do with his teething - #7 turned up today, the top right. #6 came through around Saturday - I can't keep up with them!

Curls

Happy Independence Day!
