Mmmmmm.....YUMMY!

Last night for supper we had corn from my grandma's garden. We decided to see what Zane would do with it. Let's just let the pictures tell you about it..."Let's try this..."

"Hmmm....There has to be a better way to eat this."

"These handles really help!"

"I have to make sure to get every last bite!"

Goin' For A Swim

We wanted to take Zane for a swim before summer was over. His first time in a pool was at his Uncle Keith's and Aunt Mary's house. He really enjoyed the water....even though he was done in about 20 minutes. He also had fun the next day swimming with my Uncle Jeff at my Uncle Joe's house.

Testing the water.

Having a blast kicking and splashing, though Daddy took the brunt of it. :)

Zane and Mommy before getting out of the pool.
Hmmm....can you tell we are in the Midwest??

Zane has 8 Teeth....

See??

(We think there could be more on the way...)

Zane's Blankies

Recently, Zane is becoming more and more attached to his blankies. If he sees one, he wants it. If he sees three, he wants all three (as in the picture). We are working very hard to keep the blankies in his crib and the car and using them only for naps. This was too cute though, so I couldn't pass up the photo op.

How big is Zane?

SOOOO Big!
Can you tell how intent he is? :)

Treasures!

Zane loves the out of doors. Any time we head to the door, his hands start to go in typical Zane fashion. Once outside, he loves to crawl around the yard to find treasures. He loves his treasures so much in fact, that if we have to take them away, we must be prepared for tears. All around our house there are remnants of these treasures. I think he even remembers where he leaves them. If we don't remember to throw them away, he can find them the next day. I imagine that someday we will have to have a treasure chest where he is allowed to keep his treasures. He will only be allowed to keep a certain amount and make the decision as to what he is willing to trade out. :)"See the treasures I have found today?"

"Treasures are just as much fun inside as outside!"

"It's fun to use my treasures to play with my other toys!"

"Oh boy! More treasures! I can even hold more than one in each hand!"

"Do you want some treasures?"

"Hey! Don't knock my treasures!"

Yummy in the Tummy!

It's fun now that Zane is on finger foods. It is also difficult to come up with new things for him to eat. As of now, he really likes cheese toasties, otherwise known as grilled cheese. Zane is going to grow up believing that it is normal for these sandwiches to have smashed peas or green beans on them. He has to eat his veggies somehow. :)

"Look at me! I am a big boy eating my sandwich!"

"I'm willing to share. Do you want a bite?"

"No? Well then that is more for me!!"
