6 Months Old!!!!!

I can't believe my baby is 6 months old!! Time has gone way to fast!! Zach is growing so big and is so much fun! He now weighs 16 pounds 3 ounces and is 27 inches long. He is tall and skinny for his age! He keeps us busy! He is an active little boy and very curious. He is very attentive and also determined. He loves to be with people. He gets bored easily and loves to be where the action is. He is such a happy little guy! He keeps us smiling everyday! We sure LOVE HIM!

We have had a lot of fun over the summer! Zach loves to play with his daddy.

Zach can sit up all by himself now! He has gotten so strong.

We Love to go to the park and play on the grass. Zach could spend hours at the park. He LOVES to be outside!

Zach thought the swing was hilarious! He was laughing so hard. He has a lot of fun on the playground.

One day we went and ran through these fountains by our place. Zach was a little nervous to run through them until he saw the other kids doing it. He ended up loving it. We spent a whole afternoon playing in the water.

Zach is trying so hard to learn how to crawl. He can rock back and forth but still hasn't taken off yet. He can scoot around in a circle and scoot backwards. He is very determined and works hard at learning new things!

Our future cowboy!

This is my favorite picture. We dressed up as cowboys for a youth dance and Zach fell in love with my cowgirl hat! He wanted to play with it all afternoon.

We are so grateful to have Zach in our lives! He has been such a blessing and joy! We LOVE YOU ZACH!

Thanks to Michael and Sara for letting us come and stay with them over the Fourth! We had a blast and were grateful for your hospitality!! We Love you guys!!!

Chicago - Fourth of July

My family celebrated the Fourth of July in Chicago this year. We had tons of fun. It was great to see family and spend the holiday with them. This is Nana with the kids.

Our little familiy! We had a blast on the fourth. In the morning we walked around the Navy Pier and went miniture golfing. During the afternoon my parents watched the kids and me and Tyler were able to go on a little date!!

Zach was able to watch his first firework show and LOVED it!! It was so fun to see how much he liked the show.

My basketball boys! We stopped by and saw Michael Jordan's statue at the United Center.

Visit from Family

It was so fun to have my family come and visit for a couple of days! We did some really fun things and it was so good to see them! This is Zach with Grandma and Grandpa Newton on a bridge.

Our little family at the zoo.

Grace and Sara! Grace was so excited because a balloon lady came around at dinner and made her a penguin balloon! She named him waddle. It was really cute.

In the Jungle at the zoo. Michael, Sara and Grace.

Grace didn't like the vines because they reminded her of snakes. I don't blame her!

All the girls and Zach Our little rock hopper!! Zach's favorite animal at the zoo is the penguins. He could sit and watch them all day long!! He gets really excited when they swim in the water. Grace also really liked the penguins!!

The kids watching the penguins.

It was a cold day but we stayed warm!

On the train.

Laughs!

Zach started laughing when he was about four months old and it is the cutest thing! He usually laughs at new things or when we are playing with him. He thinks his daddy is especially funny. I finally got a video of it:

Balloons

Zach is all boy! He LOVES to be on his feet. We had balloons in our apartment one day and they instantly became his favorite toy. Here is a movie:

He is an active little guy! He keeps us busy!

Rice Cereal

About a month ago we started feeding Zach rice cereal. He LOVED it the first time! It was so fun to feed him something other than milk. It is so fun to watch him grow.

After a couple of weeks we let him try oatmeal cereal and that became his new favorite.

A few days ago we tried to give Zach bananas!! He hated them!!! I guess we will try a new fruit in a week or so. Here is a movie of his first time eating cereal:
