Catching up

It has been MONTHS since the last post. Here it is Spring and it was the middle of winter the last time I posted. At one point, the snow in Spokane was deeper than Zach is tall :) Zach has had Croup, which for those of you who don't know, causes a baby to sound much like a dying seal while struggling to get a breath, and is helped by a walk in the cold night air or a steamy stand in the bathroom while the shower runs. Zach has also succeeded in figuring out that if he rolls over from his tummy to his back he ends up stuck like a turtle and mad - which causes mommy and daddy to come in and flip him back over -oh fun! On top of that, mommy and daddy have also figured out what to do to make Zach giggle - playing peek-a-boo on the changing table, tickling his collar bone, wiggling fingers in his face, and letting the kitty run her tail along his feet and face. :) But enough about that. . .now for the good part :) The pictures :)

This is what we like to call the Rapper Z picture :)



This is Zach in his Easter outfit. Uncle Andrew says that all he needs is a cigar and he'd resemble C.S. Lewis :)

What a stinker! Zach learned to suck his bottom lip in and then POP!! it out. Pretty funny :)


It's pictures like these that make you wants kids and not just pets :) It doesn't get much cuter :)

Too bad he hasn't quite figured this out with food yet. . .in the hand, in the mouth. The initial food bite usually ends up making him gag, no matter how small. . .and 95% of the rest of the food ends up on the front of him or on the floor :)
