New Little Quirk

This week, Zachary has started asking for applesauce with all his meals. He'll say "applesss" and protest until he gets a bowl on his tray. After a few days, I realized why. He is dipping all his food in applesauce! Here's how it works:
1) Dip cracker in applesauce.

2) Inspect and eat cracker.

Here's an alternate way:
1)Drop turkey in applesauce.

2)Make sure turkey is smothered with applesauce.

3)Retrieve applesauce-covered turkey with spoon and eat. (sometimes the retrieval takes a few tries - he's still learning to properly use the utensils)

Poor little guy

Zachary has strep throat. He's usually a trooper, but this time, we can tell he's feeling pretty miserable. Say some prayers for him.

Long Weekend

Aunt Jen & Uncle Dan only live 3 hours away now, and they came over this weekend for a special visit. We had a busy weekend!Zachary being cuddly with Aunt Jen!

Daddy & Uncle Dan enjoyed scintillating conversation.

Zachary also got to see sting rays and sharks up close.

Getting a little loopy at Ikea (yes, those are .99 cent toilet brushes)!

Heat Index for today

Zachary is saying "Hot"

He's mad at me because I won't take him outside. Along with the stifling heat, the air quality this week has been in the "dangerous" category and they're telling us to stay inside. I'm running out of fun things to do inside...and Zach's face says it all!

World Traveler

We headed to Florida this past weekend to celebrate Aunt Shell's 27th birthday. For a 16-month old, Zachary sure has taken some trips!Loving the breeze off the ocean
