May 2011: 9 months old

9 Months Old: May 2011

Zachary has outgrown his allergy to soy! This opened up the door to so many new foods, two of which are now his favorites (green beans & peas). Zachary started giving kisses, but only to Mommy, and also started clapping. He's getting more steady on his feet, standing and walking while pushing something (the laundry basket). He went to the beach for the first time but did not like the sand, so we'll have to work on that this summer. Zachary went on his first long car ride, to Christmas Cove Maine... he was ok as long as he was sleeping. Last but not least, Daddy graduated with his Masters Degree!

Zachary loves to eat and relax in his highchair!

Zachary loves taking a bath with all of his toys! It's hard to get him out of the tub...

The weekend of Daddy's graduation, uncle Matt, Grandma, and Great Granny came to visit.

Zachary was not happy, so taking a picture with Uncle Matt did not work out so well...

Our little graduate!

Zachary started taking his first steps. He obviously wasn't happy about getting his picture taken!

A swim date with Amara, and playtime afterwards. They were very cute together.

Mad at Mommy for putting him in the sand.

Eeew; what's on my feet?!

Checking out the grass

Not sure about the feeling of grass on his skin.
