new stuff!

lately, zack has inundated us with all the new things he's doing!

trying to feed himself...

trying to stand up on his own...

and giving mom and dad kisses on the cheeks! he even makes the "mwah" sound (he's quick though...we got him here getting ready to plant one on dad!)

mr. teeth

zack's teeth are quite visible now, and he looves showing them off...more on thier way!

favorite toy

these days, zack can't get enough of playing with cardboard boxes -- whether it's going on a "hay ride" with daddy or just snuggling in with some pillows...

for tiny baby toes!

check out these adoreable tiny booties purchased in block island for the baby girl keenan...we can't wait to see her tiny little toes!

little dukie

Daddy needed a picture of the three of us to update the Duke alumni magazine....not bad for taking it himself!

lunch with the ladies

Zack had lunch with his favorite music teacher, Rachel, today! Mom and Rachel met while in grad school and now she is a Doctoral student at Tufts in music and infant development. He can't wait to take another one of her classes...

guys weekend

This past weekend, Mom took off for Block Island and Grandpa Keenan flew in from Chicago for a weekend with the boys. The went swimming, grocery shopping, and even made baby food! Maybe Mom should go away more often...

beach week recap

Last week, we spent an entire week at the beach in Plymouth, MA with Grammy and Papa Lou. Zack Thomas spent lots of time playing in the sand, being papmered by Grammy, and taking power naps after being drained by the sun and fun. We also headed to Chatham, Cape Cod to visit with Mom's friend Betsy from Grad School and had a wonderful when Grampy, Nonnie and Uncle John spent the day with us. Zack even has tiny tan lines in the creases of his chubby wrists!!

splish splash

zack has been spending mucho time pool-hopping these days. this morning, he splish splashed with his pals tyler and sophia.

he doesn't seem satisfied until his entire face and hat are wet. i think he's going to be a swimmer like his pop.

it's about time, mom and dad!

zack and baby-to-be have been wondering why they don't have thier own blog to post interesting stories, photos, etc.....well, here you go, kids! zack is thrilled!
