Happy New Year!!!

There's no doubt that becoming a mom was the greatest thing I'll ever do.

Having him in my life is truly rewarding.

I would like a sweet potato roll wrapped in cereal instead of the seaweed please...

Daddy you're tickling me!!!

Wait! Mom and Dad get to eat sushi and I don't?

Christmas....

Our first Christmas as a family was amazing. We spent time with family and had delicious food along with TONS of gifts for Zachary. He received a whole new wardrobe and a whole new set of toys. Thanks everyone!! Couple of updates: Zach is now eating meats (chicken, turkey, beef), he LOVES Mickey Mouse (can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song), he likes to "jump" on the bed, loves to scoot around in his Jeep walker and most of all likes to throw his toys especially his ball. Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Daddy had a wonderful 34th birffday. Zach got into the spirit of dad's birffday by spiking his hair at GP's request. We had yummy prime rib, stuffed mushrooms, potatoes and sprinkled sugar filled cake picked out by Caden. Thanks cousin it was "yummy"! For dad's birffday Zach gave daddy a new kit aka soccer jersey, go Man U and a full 10 hour sleep. Both mommy and daddy were in heaven...

Thanksgiving

ok, ok, ok....now that school is over and we have some time to breathe, here are some pics of Zach since he was monkeying around on Halloween.

Daddy, you're scary and funny too.

Rawrghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Boooo!!!

Halloween was exciting for Zach. We spent the evening with Mommy’s side of the family. Aunts,

Uncles and cousins they were all there having yummy Fiambre (traditional Guatemalan dish) and tasty carne asada. We didn’t get a chance to walk the neighborhood and do the trick or treating thing because Zach was done for the day and was ready for bed (no afternoon nap). He was very good at staying up for most of the afternoon, he enjoyed watching the kids carving (we don’t have any pictures), but they all looked great….Daddy did a great job carving Blue from Blue’s Clues and both Daddy and Zach had a great time scaring each other too.

Cottone and Sons Pumpkin Patch

Loving the Pumpkins
Get in my belly!!!

Mommy I don't like the hay

Daddy are you sure about this??!!!

Where's Zach?

We decided to go pumpkin hunting at Cottone and Sons Pumpkin Patch in Torrance. Zach did well while sitting between the pumpkins, but he wasn’t sure about the hay. He did like the pumpkins and wanted to touch them and eat them. Silly boy! We also checked out the goats and ponies, but Zach was not so much into them. By the time we went hunting for a pumpkin Zach was tired and in need of a good nap, so Daddy did most of the search by himself.

6 month appt!

shhh...watching tv on Daddy & Mommy's BIG bed!
I'm getting to be a big boy sitting by myself watching the game

I can play better defense than SC right now...

one of my last toothless grins

I'm ready for it to start getting cool

Zachary had his six month check up and here are his stats:

Weight- 19lb 1.5oz ( 75th percentile)

Height- 27 inches (75th percentile)

Head- 44 ½ inches (75th percentile)

We have had several people comment lately on how big Zach is, but his weight is actually not that big!! Just a little bit big!
He also received three shots. He didn't cry for the first one, but he did for the second one. We were also afraid he would be really fussy afterward, but he was still our happy, smiley baby!
