Headbands and Bags

The morning is usually Zachary's happiest time of day, ironic because I am not a morning person at all, but this morning Zach was being a little fussy. That is until he saw his school bag, and he wanted it right away! He looked like such a little man walking to the front door with his bag draped over his shoulder like a big boy! And he held Daddy's hand and walked all the way to the car, ready to be let in to go off to school! Thank goodness he loves it there.

Headbands-well Zachary has really taken a liking to my headbands! He likes to try and put them on his head, and has succeeded a few times! One time he left it on for about 10 minutes, it was pretty funny!

Note: I have figured out how to make pictures larger if you click on them. All new pictures going forward will be this way...

Thanksgiving 2007 Post

We had a busy Thanksgiving weekend, Zach met with a lot of family, some for the first time, and some he hadn't seen in months.

On Wednesday night we had dinner at our house with Zach's great grandparents (Steve's maternal grandparents) and his parents. This was their first time meeting Zach, and boy was he a ham! He was very shy at first, but eventually came around, and really like when Grandad Jim held him while he watched mommy cook! He also was perfecting his fake cry, he can really turn it on and off! It was funny to watch him.

Here are some pics with his great-grandma.


















Hugs!


And here is a pic of everyone, except me, LOL!


On Thursday (Turkey Day) we went to my mom's house first. She found my old rocking chair and we got a pic of Z in it. He wasn't that happy of a camper, it was right before nap time!


Then after dinner, both Zach and I took a much needed nap, then headed across town to my dad's house to visit with all my uncles/brothers/cousins etc. All my family was there except for my brother Christoper (in NYC). We finally took another family photos of the three of us too! Even though once again, Z is crying, but I still think it is a cute shot!


And here are some of my other family members. Note Uncle Mike's crazy hair!


By Friday all of us were exhausted and Zach and I slept most of the day! Poor Steve had to go to work, but luckily got off early.

And Sunday we started to decorate for Christmas! Zach had fun "helping" me unpack all my boxes of x-mas stuff. It really is starting to look like Christmas threw up in my house, just the way I like it!


And even though poor Skipper Dog is no longer with us, we still hung his stocking, as well as our dogs Mya, Lucky and Jezebel's paw stockings.


That's all for now!

My First Entry!

I have been so behind in filling out Zachary's baby book that I thought I would start a blog detailing his life. He is doing so many new things every day, and I know we may forget them all, so hopefully with having an online blog I will keep up with things more! Also, with friends and relatives all over the country, this way they can up with how we are doing!

We just had Thanksgiving (yesterday) and Zach was completely worn out today (as was mommy!) We mostly just hung out at the house being lazy. At one point we were on the bed and I had a barricade of pillows under a blanket to keep him from crawling off, well Z went over to the blanket and started saying dada. It was so cute! He was convinced that Daddy was under the blanket. I had to move the pillows and blanket to show him and told him that Daddy was at work.

Other new things, he learned how to say Uh-oh when he drops something, so at lunch he kept dropping his napkin and saying uh-oh, and wanting me to pick it up so he could drop it again!

Also, he has learned how to talk on his little telephone, he holds it up to his ear! It's pretty cute!

I will upload lots of photos soon!
