Toy from the Past!

This is the spider bouncer that Auntie Carolyn had bought him. We had to retire it last Christmas. I had brought it up from the basement when a friend was coming over with her 2 month old. Well, let's just say that Zach spent most of his time playing with the bouncer! I may have to bring up the ol' saucers too so he can play with the toys around it! It might keep him still for 5 or 10 minutes!! :)

Hi everyone! I'm behind on putting pictures up. Zach still has 9 teeth but I'm expecting more to pop soon due to the symptoms he is having. He is eating better and sleeping very well! I'm very thankful for that. He is climbing on and up everything! He is trying to talk, but is slow to get words out. He is such a fun little guy!

Christmas Moose!

Hello! We had our first snow fall last night. I took Zach over to Nana and Gramp's for a bit to help shovel. Well, he more pushed the snow back and forth like was washing a floor! He enjoyed being outside a lot! I made the mistake of taking him inside to adjust his mitts...well the biggest temper tantrum he ever had happened at that moment! Not pretty. I brought out the Christmas moose today too. He is enjoying playing with that!

Silly Laughing Monkey

This was taken Sunday night if I'm not mistaken. He thought his Elmo book the was funniest thing!

The Moon

Here are pictures from tonight. Zach loves to look at the moon!!

17 Months Old!

Zach turned 17 months old today! And, for the first time he said bye bye as he was waving to Nana and Gramp. It just about brought a tear to my eye!

Gramp's Pics

I've been getting some pics from my dad's camera. The one in the hat was taken on Oct 8th. The one with the Monkey's was taken on June 9th.

Halloween Part 2

Halloween 08

Zach had a blast on Halloween! We went to a playdate with all of his little friends. It is crazy to see so many of them running around. Normally it was just 2 or 3 of them! He was a little shy trick-or-treating at first, but got the hang of it really fast! He got lots of candy for mommy and daddy! (he may get a tiny bit of it, we don't normally give him sweets, he is too energetic as it is!) If you are wondering what Zach was dressed up as...he was a Heffalump..from Winnie the Pooh!

Update

Here are some recent photos of our silly Monkey! He has tooth #9 now. It is his first molar. I can't really pin point the exact date of arrival for it poked through the gum, went back down, and then back up again. It was in the last two weeks for sure. He has been biting a lot and has been grumpy so I'm sure there is more coming. My goal this month is to try to get him off of the bottle. I think it is a comfort to him. He will drink out of a sippy cup or through a straw, but he likes his bottle. He said the word "two/too" earlier on this week, but hasn't said it since. He continues to climb up on the all the furniture and gets frustrated if he can't do it. He is very excited that Da Da is home this weekend.
