Guess Who's Dancing?!?!
From walking to dancing in three wobbly steps. The first video was shot the day after the "Guess Who's Walking?!?!" video. We took the second one just a few hours ago.

Miami Trip Videos
I wanted to post these separately. We had some firsts on this trip: first steps and first feeding himself with a utensil!
Also, more confirmation that Zach LOVES music and dancing. and being tickled :)
No captions, I think they're all self-explanatory.
ok... one comment: for those of you unfamiliar
with sign language, Zach is signing "more" when
he puts his fingers and thumb together and touches
them to each other
Miami Trip - Happy 90th Big G!!!
The first weekend of June we flew cross country to Miami, to visit the Day's and celebrate Magi's (aka Big G, Zach's great-grandmother) 90th birthday. Kevin, Jo, Ian and Connor made the trip, too, so the whole clan was there.
Magi is an amazing painter. Pat had a photo of one of her
paintings scanned and "printed" on her birthday cake. What a treat!
(pun intended)
It was HOT and HUMID in Miami. It took us all a day or so to
adjust. Wearing the least amount of clothes possible helped.
The boys are playing with Zach's "story reader" toy. A hand-me-down
that has proven to be a hit wherever we take it.
Even Conner had to stop his climbing to give it a whirl.
Great-grandpa John giving Zach a ZRRRBRRRT!!!
Whew!

Happy Family!
Zach's first baseball game - Red Sox vs. Oakland, May 25, 2008
On the Sunday before Memorial Day, we went to Oakland to watch the Sox take on the A's. It was Zach's first baseball game - woohoo! We prepped him by teaching him to raise his arms up over his head and cheer whenever we say "Boston Red Sox - World Champs!!!"
He did pretty good, and though the Oakland Coliseum isn't a child friendly ballpark by any stretch of the imagination (it's not even a baseball friendly park), we walked, crawled and climbed around the concourse when he got fussy.
And yes, sadly, the Sox lost. So it goes ...
