8 months!

At the end of January Zachary turned 8 months! I can't believe how big he is getting. He has 4 teeth and is just beginning to crawl. He doesn't want anything to do with finger foods and still isn't overjoyed with baby food. He's our perfect little man!

and the end of January

Picture overload, I know it! Since we (and by we I mean Dustin) are finishing our basement our computer has been sitting outside. After over a month I couldn't take it anymore and carried it in and set it up. So thanks to a great Christmas gift from dad, my new memory card, my camera was able to take way too many pictures over time. Enjoy the next couple posts from this past month!
Deacon~ continues to amaze us every day with his knowledge! He knows (and has for awhile) all the letters both uppercase and lowercase, can count up to 20 and almost 30, knows his colors (with the exception of blue and yellow that he commonly gets mixed up) and can sign a million songs! Deacon and Dustin have also started to do exercises every night before bed. They do sit-ups, push-ups and sometimes leg lifts. Deacon works so hard to do it just like dad! Deacon has also taken a liking to crafts! Each weekend we seems to get creative!
Zachary seems to be getting bigger every day! He now has his top two teeth and is starting to crawl. He's slow at it, but can get across the room if he has enough motivation... usually a remote :) He also loves to stand at his activity table! He is starting to become much more vocal and loves saying "dada". We are starting to introduce finger foods, but he doesn't like anything with chunks, so his spits it right out! The only thing I can get him to eat is saltine crackers.

I think that's it... here are some (a lot) of pictures!

January!

Can you believe that these are January pictures?!?! Yes, it has been in the 40's and we are not complaining! These pictures are from the beginning of January and we were lovin' our time outside! We were also able to get a couple pictures of Zachary's bottom teeth... they came in over a month ago, but we finally got them in a photo.
