Real Food!

Mom and Dad think I'm ready to try some REAL Food. So they started me off with Beans and Rice from the Taco Shop!

And boy did I Love it!
So Messy

Next was Spaggetti. They chopped it up so I could chow it down.

Loved that too.

Trying to make sure I didn't miss any noodle!

I hope they keep it up cuz I'm getting tired of this baby food!

Fun Times with Cousins

Zach LOVES playing with his cousins Jake and Sam!

Halloween

On Actually Halloween Day we went to spend it with Nani and Papa in Julian. We had a fun time eating dinner, visiting, going on a hayride and riding a train.

Mom decided not to cover my whole nose this time in black!

On the hayride

We switched out Zach's Lion costume for something a little warmer.

On the Train ride

The most interesting thing of the day was the Hayride. The wagon looked like it was from the 1800's. While we were on it the wheel got stuck in a hole and broke. Luckily we were in the right place on the hayride and only jerked to the side, but the other side fell to the ground. Luckily no one was really hurt.

Ward Halloween Party

All dressed up for the Halloween Party!

You better watch out because I'm a LION!
Our little Lion smeared his makeup and now has a "black" eye! Poor Lion.

Trunk or Treating after the Party.

Get that candy Zach!

Pumpkin Cake

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Peltzer's Farm a couple of weeks ago with my MOMS group. It was such a hot day that everyone of the kids faces had bright red cheeks. Poor little Zach didn't even want to smile for any pictures, but I still manged to get a few good shots.

He didn't know what to think of the pumpkins.
This pumpkin was more than half the size of Zach
This pumpkin was more just the right size!
Now that's a big tractor wheel.

They had pig races. It was so funny to watch them race.

Go Piggy, GO!

We did the corn maze too. (Laurie and Jake)

Zach in the middle of a whole lot of gourds

Train Ride....OK so he didn't really ride it, but I wanted some pictures.

I can't wait till next year when Zach will actually enjoy going to one of these!

Dance Baby

This is Zach's new toy. He loves the music setting. He dances away to it.

My Dog Koda

My Mommy let my dog Koda inside the house for once and we had a blast!

First I pulled her tail!
Then she licked my ear!

I tried to grab her tongue......but it was too slippery.

Mom had us pose for a picture, but I closed my eyes....and so did Koda.

I Love hanging out with my dogs. It's feels so funny when they lick me and I love how soft their fur is. Dogs are the Best!

Finally Asleep

This was a long day. It started with the night before. Zach just didn't want to sleep and then was just cranky all day. He was driving me bonkers because he just refused to sleep. He didn't want to be held, he didn't want to be put down, he didn't want anything. So finally I'm feeding him again and I walk away to blow my nose, come back and find him like this. I was so tempted to just leave him there, but knew if I did he would wake up in 5 minutes and think that was his nap. So I very carefully took him out of there, but of course he wakes up. Luckily he falls right back to sleep in my arms and I lay him down in his crib. He only took a half hour nap (NOT long enough), but it was long enough to get some of my sanity back. I do not wish for that day re-visited ever!

Wrestle Mania

Daddy wanted to Wrestle . . . So I said Bring it On!!

I won the first round.

But then out of nowhere Daddy got me flat on my back
And Pinned me there!
Just wait till I get bigger Daddy!

Young Beeethoven

Upside Down

Zach Loves to be Upside Down.

Laundry

He wanted to help!

Domino's

I turn around for 1 minute and this is what I find.

Zach got into the Domino's
And he ate them!
