Cape Cod - July 4

Happy 4th of July!!  Zach attended his first parade.  He even started waving his flag like a pro.  He was such a trooper the whole trip, just would go with the flow (even skipping naps)!!!  That night he even made it up for the firework show on the beach.  What a superstar!

Cape Cod - July 3

We took a family vacation to Cape Cod.  This was Zach's first experience on a plane.  I am writing this blog to remind myself to never fly with a child under 3 years old.  He was not well behaved on the plane, but more than made up for it on the trip.  He grew up so much the week we were there.  He stopped eating baby food and only wanted table food.  He no longer wanted to get from point A to point B by crawling, he insisted on help walking.  And he thought he was one of the big boys and wanted to be right in the action with Jake & Griffin.   

We went to a really cool crabbing beach the first day.  While Jake was busy picking out crabs in the sea grass, Zach was being walked around the beach with Papa.  And you can see later that night how much he enjoyed corn on the cob :)

Hilton Head - Family

What Zach loved most was getting so much loving attention from all the family.  Nana & Papa would take the early shift.  Zach enjoyed his one on one attention before the rest of the house woke up.  Auntie Kris & Uncle Randy would find special time to spend with Zach.  And of course, he LOVED hanging with the boys, Griffin & Jake.

Hilton Head - Exersaucer

Whether he was inside or outside, Zach had so much fun entertaining himself in the exersaucer.

Hilton Head - Pool

Zach did so good in the pool, maybe because Papa had the heat cranked up to 100 degrees.  He loved to splish splash around.  And was not afraid to put his face in at all. 

Hilton Head - Beach

We took a family vacation to Hilton Head (in the middle of May, I am a little late).  Zach had so many amazing first experiences, I have to break them up.  But overall, he loved the beach & pool, staying up later than usual, walks on the beach, hanging with the family, and best of all watching Jake & Griffin :)
This first series is of him enjoying his time at the beach.

Baby Blue Eyes

Zach has the most amazing huge blue eyes.  (FYI - these were taken back in May)
