Zane's One Year Pictures

Well, we had these taken a little late. I guess if you want to get technical, they are his 13 month pictures- better late than never, right? I am so thankful for our friend Jen - she has taken pictures for us several times now and she is so talented. I love them all. The ones at the end of the slide show are after Zane crammed 2 handfuls of crackers in his mouth- I love those full cheeks!

Zane celebrated turning 13 months by taking his first unassisted steps. He had been cruising around the furniture for months, and would take a step here or there, but this was the first letting go and taking several on his own. Thankfully, I had the camera near by and was able to get a few videos to document the monumental event. Luke was out of town, but you can hear me talking on the phone with him.

What a difference a year can make...

I just wanted to post a few more pictures of Zane with my parents. I can't believe how much Zane has changed in a year. My parents had visited last year when Zane was 2 weeks old. Here are a few pics from then and now(now being almost 2 months ago when my parents were here!)

My Parents' Visit

Well, I went to bed early and slept for a few hours and now I'm awake so I thought I'd work a little on the blog. I'll never stay caught up if I never actually blog! So, here are a few more pictures from my parents' visit back in September. We had a great time with them. It was there first road trip up here and it was nice to have them here for longer than a long weekend. We were glad that they could be here to help us celebrate Zane's birthday. We did a little sight seeing, but mainly enjoyed just hanging out. It was perfect weather while they were here, so we were able to enjoy several beautiful walks. Zane had so much fun with them too, and learned to play catch with my dad, which quickly became a favorite activity. He also developed a love for the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear while they were here, and they had the chance to read it to him several times.

Thanks so much for coming Mama and Daddy. We had so much fun and enjoyed having you here. We look forward to getting to see you in December. We love you both!
