Christmas - Part 1

The First Tooth

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Here are some pictures of Zach's first tooth that appeared between December 2nd and 3rd. You will have to look closely. We are expecting another tooth or two anyday! I have lots of Christmas pictures to go through and post. Hope to do that soon.

So Big!

Hello everyone. Here are some more pictures as I get ready to take lots more during this Christmas season. The first picture I took of him by surprise. I woke up one day to hear music coming from his room. It was dark in the room and somehow he made his way over to the other side of the crib and kept hitting the on button for the Oceans Mobile. He has been doing this a lot actually. Soon, I will have to move it up higher so he doesn't pull himself up! As you can see in some of the other pictures, he is really starting to sit up now! Everyday he can sit up longer and longer. The last picture is of Zach and Daddy playing with Auntie's scarf.

More to come! Merry Christmas everyone.

Auntie's Home!

My sister came home on Wednesday. It is the second time she has seen Zach. He took to her right away. She is having a lot of fun with him! The first two pictures were taken at the airport. The third picture is of them at home when Zach was unwrapping one of her Christmas presents. Then, Auntie helped feed Zach his "mush". Carolyn started Christmas baking yesterday and Zach wanted to help. He also enjoyed grabbing Carolyn's lips and twisting them!! HA HA!

We are greatly looking forward to when Mike and Kindra come home on the 27th and will see Zach for the first time.

I'll have lots more pictures to come.

Push Up and Noises!

This is a video I took of Zach last week when he first starting doing push ups. You can also hear him "talking" a bit. I'm sure I will have lots of Christmas photos to show you.

6 Months Old!

Zach turned 6 months old on December 6th!! Time is flying by so fast. Here are some pictures we took last week. The picture second from the left in the 3rd row is of him giving "raspberries". He was doing that a lot last week. He first tooth popped sometime between December 2nd and 3rd. Around that time he also started crawling around in a circle. He tries so hard to crawl forward, but isn't quite mastering the initial technique yet. He moves very quickly!

He is getting lots of hair up top. I have fun spiking it now and then. The last picture is of a beautiful Christmas ornament that Mom and Dad gave us.

I do not have an up-to-date weight for Zach, but will have that nextTuesday when I take him to the doctor to see why he is up every 2 hours at night still!!

Trying to Get a Smile

We tried to get Zach to smile for a Christmas photo, but he was more interested in the present that was helping prop him up. The present belonged to his Auntie Carolyn and he greatly enjoyed unwrapping it! And no, Carolyn is not getting a box of Cheerios for Christmas. Mom likes to use different boxes to house presents in

More Pics from B.C.

B.C. Pictures

Here are a few pictures taken at the airport and at White Rock, B.C. on Friday. The middle picture is Zach trying to eat a crab that Brian picked up! I tell ya, this kid will put anything in his mouth if we let him!

Here is Zach checking out our Christmas tree. He seemed almost more interested in the packages underneath it!


We got back from B.C. yesterday, 2 days later than expected so I'm a bit behind on things. I'm hoping to put trip pictures on the site really soon.


Zach's first tooth popped through either on Sunday or Monday. The very top of the tooth is through, we are anxiously awaiting for the rest of it!
