Tank Q

This is how Zach learned to say Thank You.

He discovered dandelions and was picking them and handing them to Andrea, who said "thank you!" each time he did it.

Eventually, he would pick them, hand them to Andrea, and say "Dan Q" or "Tank u" each time. It's a good sign when first words & phrases are polite things.

Big as the Wind

Here's Zach, growing to seven times his normal size to confront his arch nemesis, the wind mill.

I'm a Cowboy!

Here we are at the Grand Opening of the Northland Emergency Vet Clinic.

They had horses, so we had to get our little cowboy up and riding.

It's quite a bit different than the play horse in the family room.

Tree House Mania

It may look like he's too short to climb these stairs, but no, with a little perseverence and baby can-do attitude, he makes it.

Once on top, he climbs up on a little step stool to further his dominance over the ground based world!

First Time in a Rain Coat

Andrea found a very nice raincoat for Zach, and then we waited for the right day to try it out.

Here he is standing in the rain. He was anxious to get out as quickly as possible, took about 5 steps and stopped cold. He was frozen in place, transfixed by the sound of the rain on his hood. It was like he was locked up. We already knew he likes puddles, so now we'll have to get to work on playing in the rain.
