Cutie-Bootie!

I LOVE to stand and beat on the tub while I wait for my bath.... it's great practice for when I become a drummer in a band later (oh wait, Mommy says that is ABSOLUTELY not happening in her lifetime!)... I will have to think of some way to get even with her later for posting my nudie pix on the internet!!!

Look, Mommy!!!

No hands! Here's me getting daring and trying to standerize all on my own!!! My balance is pretty good for about 5 seconds, then I topple over or plop down into my cushiony diaper...

Spikey Z

I DEFINITELY don't take after Daddy in the hair department! I've grown a ton of gorgeous hair (it is the envy of some of my bald girlfriends who still don't have enough to wear their hair bows!) I wanted to venture away from the little-boy-part-on-the-side look and tried some daring spikes...

Standerizing!!!

Here's one of my newest tricks... standing ... or as we call it - STANDERIZING! I am soooo close to being able to pull myself up ... but once I'm up and hanging on, I'm a great stander. And, this past weekend, I've been "cruising" (walking sideways while hanging onto the couch, coffee table, tub, crib rail...) My parents shudder to think that I'm gonna be mobile soon!! Here are a couple of shots of me standing like a big boy!!

My Furry Fam

Here's me hanging with part of my feline family... my brother Mojo and my sister Juju. (Wiji was off getting into mischief so I stole his bed!) I have no idea why my parents insist on me sleeping in a crib! This bed is sooooo comfy and just the right size!!

Cleanin' Up...

I HATE having my face washed (as any self-respecting BOY should!)... unless I can sink all SEVEN of my teeth into the wash cloth! YUM! This is one way to get the fiber into my diet!!!

Waterfalls are Cool!!

Here's a pic of my daddy and I enjoying some relaxation time in the hot tub. I LOVE the waterfall... although I can't quite figure out why I can't grab it and put it into my mouth like everything else I touch....

Ballin'

Since I'm topping out on all of the doc's height charts, my parents figured that I might be money on the b-ball courts... it's never too early to work on the skeeeels. Well, maybe... dribbling to me still involves slobber...

Tools Rule!

Today, I helped Daddy put together my Learn N Groove table. (For those of you who don't know, it's a super-cool toy that sings LOTS of songs - with instrumental versions, and then in English and Espanol as well...) I mainly like it because I can hang on to it while I stand and beat on it... My parents can't wait until the batteries die! ;) Anyways, I LOVED helping with the construction part - I assisted by chewing on the legs of the table while Daddy manned the screwdriver.

Lovin' the Ladies

That's a nice blouse, Emma!

Hamming it up with Sophia!


I'm working on my game... REALLY, I am. I've managed to stay awake for the last couple of "dates" that I've had with some adorable younger women. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a playa ... just spreading myself around!! Here are some pics of my lady loves, Emma Faith and Sophia Angelina. Hope that I'll continue to be as lucky in love!!!

Toy Goddess

Meet Mama Vee, also known as "The Toy Goddess!" Whenever I see her, new toys magically appear!! I LOVE going over to her house to play -- she has spoiled me rotten.... but, that's what grandmas are for, right?! :) Here's a picture of us enjoying my first tricycle -- My legs don't quite touch the ground, but that doesn't mean I can't get SUPER excited about it!!

Cutie Cuzzins!

I spent New Year's Eve partying with my cousins Deep (2 years) and Aakash (10 months). We had great fun crawling around on the floor together at grandma and grandpa's house in Long Beach.

Christmas Love

Our happy little family on Christmas morning


Helping Daddy sample the Christmas presents...


Mommy taught me some new cuss words while making my stocking!!

Zack-tor

I LOVE Christmas! Here's one of my favorite gifts from my grandpa Larry... My very own John Deere tractor! (With matching boots and hat!) My parents just LOVE it because it sings "Old McDonald" and makes tractor noises when I hit the horn. I can't wait until my legs grow long enough to touch the ground while I'm "driving!"

Party animals...

Here's Mommy and me before her staff Christmas party....

All I want for Christmas....

Looks like I got my wish! My two front teefs have been creeping in for the last few days... My parents are relieved that this round of teething hasn't been nearly as brutal as Round I with the bottom teefs. Chicks dig me even more now, by new pearly whites make me look older... (And, no, haven't tried them out on Mom yet!)

Mommy's Laundry Helper

I LOVE LAUNDRY!! My mommy says I will make my wife very happy someday because I am absolutely thrilled with our adventures in the laundry room. Maybe it's just the excellent acoustics, but once I get in there amongst the clean clothes, I can't help but screech!! Yay for laundry!!!

Daddy's Remote Eater

My daddy is so proud. I'm only 6 months old and already have developed a fondness for electronic devices. The remote is one of my favorite toys. And, my parents don't realize that babies come equipped with a keen sense of smell... although they try to assuage me by handing me a "decoy" remote from an old TV, I prefer the REAL remote... you know, the one that baby slobber will likely short out and ruin. SCORE!

Zack-in-the-Box

I have a gazillion toys... but none of them are as much fun as this cardboard box that my parents picked up today at Costco!! This brought me hours of smiles and giggles... plus, it keeps me from face-planting as I'm learning to sit up!!! Guess I know what I'm getting for Christmas this year!!!

A Tree for Z!

We went and picked out my very first Christmas tree today!! I had fun checking out the trees but got a little frustrated when my parents wouldn't let me eat them!

Santa's Cutie

Here's my first Santa encounter... I hardly batted an eye!! But then again, it was probably because I was a little bit upset about the fact that my mom dressed me in an outfit that matched Santa's COUCH.... Ugggg...

Winter Shots

Mommy and I hit Kiddie Kandids on Friday - here are the results! :)

Shots BITE!!

I had my six-month well baby check-up today... I'm up to 19 lbs. 12 oz. (no wonder my parents are rocking some serious biceps!) And, I've sprouted up to 27 inches!!! The bad part was that I got FIVE shots... it was supposed to only be 4, but my daddy had to make a special request for a flu shot... I will be certain to pay him back -- dirty diapers on his watch ONLY from now on!! Here's me after my doctor's office encounter... think the nurse got a little band-aid happy???

Noshing on the Solids!

YUM! Eating solids is FUN! My parents started me on rice cereal about a month ago and have been gradually introducing new flavors to my palate... So far I've sampled butternut squash, sweet potatoes, pears, green beans, and bananas. ALL of them homemade!! (My mom is getting in touch with her inner hippie!) Here's a couple of pics of me enjoying my solids -- the prerequisite messy baby shot (seriously, though, don't I look fantastic in green beans??)... and a shot of me operating my own spoon...
