What's with the strainers?

I don't remember what the story was on this one. (WAS there a story? Did I ever hear it?) I'm sure it had something to do with Zachary getting into the cupboard by himself (one of the child safety latches isn't installed quite right) and choosing those particular items to play with, for reasons known only to himself.

Jelly

Is...is that jelly he's eating right out of the container?? Why, yes, yes it is. And who's hand is that holding it...?

And that, dear friends and family, catches us up to Easter. Whew!

Eating out with Neenie and Grandpa

The "tablecloths" at this restaurant are just big sheets of butcher paper. So we made good use of the crayons that were provided :)



Then our food arrived...

Going Down

When my parents came to visit in April, we hiked Clingman's Dome (again, but this time it wasn't freezing!) On the way, we had to take a detour to go up and down these stairs.

Playing Mailbox

Zachary pushed this card through the door and retrieved it over and over and over...For several days!

Clipping Clips

I was trying to get a video of Zachary learning how to clip the straps on his highchair. But he got distracted by the camera...


I tried a second time to capture the feat. He didn't get it clipped quite right, but that doesn't stop him from applauding for himself!

TN Ren Fest 2009

We thoroughly enjoyed the Renaissance Festival again this year. Zachary was much more interested than he was last year! But this also meant he wanted to get down and run around in the mud! I've posted the pictures to Shutterfly (click here), so you can enjoy those. And I don't think I've ever posted this video of the full-armored jousting. The video is from the first year we went to the festival: 2006.
