We have been busy!

Zach turns 8 months old today so here is a catch up on him. He recently learned how to crawl! Yikes! I am excited and nervous all at the same time. It only took him once to figure it out and now hes a crawling machine. Sometimes he still has trouble moving the left leg though. He is starting to get in the stranger danger phase but he will smile at everyone as long as someone he recognizes is in the room. He is a HUGE flirt and loves the ladies! Zach will put on a show for just about any woman he sees. We love our little Zach.

Zach and I took a quick trip to California at the beginning of July. He spent a lot of time looking like this.

He ended up really liking a yellow strainer my mom gave him to play with and wouldn't let me take it out of his mouth, even when he was asleep. He'd wake up, shove it back in, and fall back to sleep. And I had one of my favorite Bay Area treats! The ultimate ice cream sandwich. An Its-It! Mint ice cream with oatmeal cookies covered in chocolate.

On the Forth of July we went to a park in Boise that had a sidewalk chalk drawing contest.  Most of it wasn't really my style, but it was pretty amazing what people could do with chalk and cement. Zach hung in there and was a good sport for us.

Other than that, we are waiting for the weather to cool off a little. 100+ degrees is no fun and not ideal for babies. Come on cold front!
