Carmel & Big Sur

Tom has the week off for one of his remaining "Family Bonding" weeks that we need to use up before Zach's 1 year birthday. Today we took a daytrip to Carmel and Big Sur. When we had been dating 5 weeks we took a trip there for New Years 2003. It was a trip down memory lane to revisit these places and it was fun to be there with Zach. It was his first time seeing the ocean and a stream, but he didn't seem too impressed. :)

Zach is now rolling and is somewhat mobile. He has rolled into the kitchen a few times and pulled some of my cookbooks off the shelf and chewed on them. Today Tom put the doors back on the bookcase where the cookbooks are stored and I have the feeling we will be baby proofing a lot more in the coming weeks!

Zach pulled this drawer open a few inches:


Zach did not understand the snack trap was holding food. He thought it was merely a challenging toy with the objective being to get the contents out as quickly as possible:

Easter

This year for Easter we revived our LA tradition of having friends over for turkey, chocolate and jelly beans! :) The Easter Bunny made it past our five kitties and dropped off a nice basket for Zach. He absolutely LOVES his pop-up toy! One of Zach's friends, Harper, came over with her parents and she and Zach got to play a bit.

Zach & Panda

Zach taking a nap with his panda. The panda starts out by his head and always seems to end up face down on the opposite side of the crib!

Wow, what a fun couple of weeks it has been! Zach now has two teeth coming in. With each he fussed for a few hours and then boom - a tooth appeared. Zach has started having "wild" spells where he is just crazy and energetic. He usually crashes shortly after. Here are some recent pictures:

This was a night Tom and I were eating dinner and Zach was in his high chair. Usually we give him a toy or two and he plays while we eat. However, this night (3/23) Zach took every toy we gave him and threw it on the ground. This is the aftermath:
