Zach, 15 months

Zach is 15 months old and he is a boy on a mission. He is go, go, go from morning 'til night. He likes anything musical and dances to any sound...even the air conditioner! He enjoys taking walks around the neighborhood. He wants to be outside all the time now. Thankfully it's getting a bit cooler in Texas and we're able to spend more time outside.

He smiles most of the time and he laughs a lot. He does have his moments of fit throwing too! He is picking up new words and is mimicking our actions. He understands several commands which makes life that much easier.

14 months

Zach is now 14 months. He is talking gibberish and even slides in a few words every now and again. He says juice, no, mom, dada, and tree. I started throwing pureed veggies in everything so he will actually eat them. So far, so good! He likes to pretend to drink out of cans as you can see!

Zach 13 months

So, don't mind the date on the pictures. Apparently, we failed to input the correct date on the camera!

Anyhow, Zach is now 13 months old. He is walking around the house like he's been walking for years! He has 4 teeth with a 5th one just breaking through. He has defiitely started babbling a lot more since he turned 1. He sort of says "night-night" and he said "bye-bye" for the 1st time today, two different times! Once for me as we were leaving daycare and then for Matt this evening. Very exciting day for us!


Zach slept through his first 4th of July fireworks. Well, he did see a few when we woke him up to leave the party! Matt and Zach came out to mom's ski show along with Uncle Jason and Stephanie. It was nearly 100 degrees, but they all stuck it out.

Zach and mom are headed to Michigan on Saturday to spend time with the family. We're packed and ready to go. We are looking forward to hanging out on the lake and getting as much R & R as a mom and a 1-year old can!

Zach turns 1

We made it! Zach turned one on May 22nd. That night he took several steps several times between mom and dad! He laughs ALL the time. He finds himself very funny! He went from formula to cow's milk in one day. We were out of formula so I decided to go for it and he made no qualms about it.

At his 1-year check-up, he weighed 22 lbs. and was 29.5 inches tall (50% for both). Get this....his head is in the 5th percentile! His blood work came back as slightly anemic. More iron it is!


Grandma Gwyn came down for Zach's birthday and she helped Beth make a monkey (or bear) cake! We had his birthday party on Saturday with just a few friends and family. We set-up a pool and ball pit for Zach to play in. We set his high chair out on the back patio and let him dig into his own cake. He wasted no time getting very messy! We tossed him in the pool right after to clean him up!

11 months

Well, 11 months have come and gone. Zach is continuing to grow and learn new things. He is walking around the house holding on to everything. He won't quite let go and walk on his own yet, but he is getting closer! He sleeps from 7 to 7 which is great for Mom and Dad!

Zach is eating baby food along with some finger foods. He is a bit picky when it comes to new textures though.

He giggles and smiles all the time and is quite enjoyable! He makes us laugh everyday.

10 months

Zach is 10 months old and getting into everything! He enjoyed his first Easter with an Easter basket with his name on it from Grandma Gwyn.

He walked for the 1st time on April 2nd and we even got it on camera! He took four steps into Mom's arms three different times!

Zach is eating some table food. It takes him awhile to get used the different textures, but once he does.....it's on!

9 months

We can't believe it's already been 9 months. Zach is healthy and happy! He weighs 20 lbs. 3 oz and is 28 inches long. He sleeps through the night and eats like a horse! We're up to 4 jars of baby food a day and plenty of Cheerio's. Zach is slowly getting the hang of the whole sippy cup concept! He's pulling himself up on everything and walking around the coffee table. One of his favorite things to do is pull all the pillows off the couch. In no time at all, he'll be running around this house.




We're still taking Zach to Gymboree classes on Saturday's. Mom and Zach have been going to the park after work too. Zach likes to swing and has even been down the slide!
