WALKING!

Guess what trick I learned this weekend?! That's right! I can WALK! I took my first few steps on Sunday afternoon (right before my first hair cut!) I was chasing after my tractor. Later, I walked to my legos, and then to my mommy and daddy. Pretty soon, no one will be able to catch me!!!

Driving While Flashing the Cutie-Booty

Just as my daddy snapped this pic, I peed on the floor!! :P

Mommy dressed me...

... I'm humoring my mother by allowing her to post this pic of me in a pastel yellow shirt with baby turtles on it -- the guys are NEVER gonna let me live this one down!! To save a tiny bit of face, I would like to note that I dirtied this outfit (and had to be changed!) within an hour.... By the way, the bathroom is my new favorite room in the house!! (Seeeeee, I am a MAN! hee hee!)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

My daddy was so excited to celebrate his first birthday as a father (and what a fabulous one he's been!!) Yay!!! Mommy and I got him lots of presents... among them was this new back pack... to replace his well-worn diaper bag. Maybe it could double as a Bjorn too!!

Easter Goodies

Mmmm.... biter biscuits RULE!!

Double fisting the goodies!

Why ice cream cones are an "in the high chair only" food!

I had fun unloading my Easter basket today! The Easter Bunny brought me socks, bibs, spoons, toys, and all kinds of junk food. I guess he forgave me for crying in his lap yesterday!! :)

Refrigerator Raider

Now that I'm pretty mobile, I LOVE to unload anything I can get my hands on... including the shelves of the refrigerator! :) Here I am, hard at work!!

Happy Easter!

I had a great first Easter! Mommy and Daddy took me to an Easter Egg Hunt and I got to meet the Easter Bunny himself! Just to clear up what you see in the pictures, I wasn't crying because I was scared of the Easter Bunny... I was mad because I wanted to play in the grass, NOT sit still...

Not that there's anything wrong with this....

.... I experienced my first boy/boy kiss at Gracie's party! I met a friend, Tristan, who is a loving machine. He loves to hug and kiss anyone and everyone... including me! Awww.... nothing like sweet baby love!!!

Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Sharing a smile with the birthday girl!

Partying with Mommy

My honey from the 951, Gracie, turned one this past weekend! What a fun party she had!!! I met lots of new friends (and even got a cold from one of them!) ... It was exciting to see Gracie dive into her cake and presents... MY turn is coming up soon enough!!!

Fusser JAIL!

BOOOO for baby-proofing!!! My parents have spent the last couple of days taking all of the fun out of our house! ;) Just kidding... I know that they want me to be safe! I REALLY love the baby gates... they are fun to hang onto and to bang on. I spent an entire afternoon screeching about them. This is the closest I'll ever get to being behind bars! :) (Oh yeah... my parents dressed me in my 951-white-trash best for this pic!!)

Hittin' the Bottle...

... of shampoo that is!! I love to play in the bathroom while my mommy is getting ready for work. When I get tired of messing around in my basket of bath stuff, then I amuse myself by climbing Mommy's pants...

Z n Sahib

Checking the spare....

Standerizing in the back seat...

Grandpa Larry promises to take me Jeeping when I get older!

Mommy, Daddy, and Me....

I wish that I had been born in time to take a Jeep trip with my late great grandpa Papa Don! Sahib is his Jeep, and I hear that Papa Don took her on many adventures! I got a chance to check Sahib out this weekend... not too shabby... I'll bet she'll still be running when I'M old enough to drive!

My First Clam Bake

Keys are even more delicious by the campfire!
(this is my "monkey face")

I brought along my tool box just in case!

Hanging out with Grandpa Larry.

Pounding on camp chairs...

Daddy's sunglasses are yummy!

Uncle Paul shared his water bottle with me...

Every year, the Holmer family gets together in Ventura for an annual Clam Bake... It's a pretty big event - about 50 of our family friends come together to camp, visit, and to eat good food (although oysters are not on my list of approved solids just yet!). I got to meet several knew people who talked to me last year while I was inside Mommy's big belly! I also got to go on my first jeep ride and I enjoyed my first camp fire as well. What a great weekend! I can't wait until next year!!!

Z On the Go!

Here's a quick video of my first attempts at WALKING! (And no, Mommy is not gonna win any cinematography awards anytime soon!!!) tee hee!!

The Kitchen is my Playground!

I love exploring in the kitchen! This morning I unloaded all of my mommy's baking pans onto the floor. I've figured out that there is one thing I love more than unloading cupboards.... the NOISE I can make doing it!

Sleepytime Z!

Crawling, cruising, exploring, and playing wear me out... I always crash hard and catch some Zzzz's to recharge my batteries for the next round of fun. Here's a picture of me sneaking a nap in my new big boy car seat. Don't I look angelic?? :)

Playtime!

As I'm getting older, I am getting more and more into my toys... I'm also into my parents' toys (like phones and remotes!) Anytime that I am awake is playtime! Here are some pictures of me at play! Yay!!!

Uncle P and Me

I got to hang out with Uncle Paul this weekend! He's super cool ... he crawls around on the floor with me and makes me laugh with his silly faces... My mom thinks I look like Uncle Paul did when he was a baby! Guess the good looks must run in the family!
