So I'm way behind again.
Way back on Memorial day, we test fit Zach for a pair of concrete shoes. As you can see, it took a team effort since he kicks around so much. But the finished product came out nicely.
The photo of the painted finished product placed in our herb garden will get added when I upload the next set of pictures.
While enjoying the nice holiday weather, we decided to see what Zach thought of grass. He loved it. He couldn't get enough of the scratchy texture. He sat or laid in it for easily half an hour.
You'll also see Melissa blowing bubbles for him. Zach's a big fan of watching and trying to pop bubbles.
Zach's grandfather is now a perfect three for three with grandsons liking his tractor. Zach sat down and immediately reached for the steering wheel. Even the engine firing up and running didn't phase the little fella.
A couple nice pictures of mother and son from the holiday weekend. Notice they have the same eyes.
Zach continues to get closer and closer to crawling. His upper body is clearly getting stronger. He just hasn't figured out the whole coordination thing. When he manages to get his legs under him, he moves backwards.
For the moment anyway...
Zach and I took a couple self portraits the other night.
In the second picture. Yes, that is drool all over his shirt. And No, I am not holding him up.
We didn't realize how much Zach grew over the past month, until we sat him down for his monthly photo. I included last months to make the comparison easier.

That's his little baller outfit in the 6 month picture.
An update of sorts on Izzy and Zach.
When Izzy enters the same room Zach immediately starts intently watching him. If the cat comes within 3 feet of him, Zach starts smiling, laughing, and reaching.
For his part, Izzy tries to strategically position himself somewhere he can watch Zach but where the baby won't notice, or even better, can't see him. Izzy still doesn't quite know what to think of Zach.
This won't last. As soon as Zach can move, Zach's going to be after Izzy every time he sees him.
After both sets of grandparents left, we went to the local park to take advantage of the nice weather and enjoy a little peace & quiet on Mother's Day. We found a swing set and, well, the results speak for themselves...
We're already planning to press our luck and try a picnic next weekend, so we should have more park pics next week.
Melissa and I were away at a wedding this past Saturday. Zach stayed home and spent the night with his grandparents. Based on the photos, he looks like he enjoyed himself.
