Fly Boy Photos

My friend Connie did Zachary's 18-month photos. They turned out great! Click here to view the pictures (then click "View Slideshow" - top right). He is super cute!

Preschool Party

Zachary had his first preschool party this weekend. It was a costume party at a Jump Zone. The jumping in the inflatable things was a bit of a challenge for most of the children, but the costumes (and balloons!) were a big hit!

What a STUD!

Notice this "Princess-themed" inflatable. Grandad and Grandpa will be glad to know that once Zachary got up to the entrance, he turned around and wanted Daddy to take him down! Ha!

Zachary, the astronaut, doing some moon-walking! This was the most activity he enjoyed inside the inflatables. Once the older kids got in and started jumping around, he was ready to get out.

Todd took him down this slide twice and both times, it was hilarious (and mildly scary!).

Anxiously awaiting the balloon!

The best part of the day!

Daddy, the artist

Todd was showing Zachary how to use this new toy, and drew this picture for him. It's titled, "Our Family" - and pictured (left to right) Zachary, Mommy and Daddy. I love it!

Alone time

I love spying on Zach when he's playing by himself. He's so creative and just plain cute. The other day, he took all his stuffed animals out of their basket and climbed inside the basket with a few books. I guess that's a comfy place for some pleasure reading!

Mr. Giraffe

Zachary's newest thing is Mr. Giraffe. ("daffe" in Zacharese). It's bigger than him, but super soft. Zach will just roll all over the playroom with him. My favorite thing about "daffe" is that Zach has started pretending to share his drink with him. This is so cute and it's a little glimpse into the next stage of childhood imaginative play!
