Playtime

Zion is all over the place now!! He has a little play table that he loves to pull himself up next to. He tries to hold on and reach for other toys are furniture to hold on to. Every once in a while he'll get really brave and let go for a couple seconds. There's even been a few times when he's stood on his own for about 5 seconds....which is a long time for such wobbly legs! Seems like he wants to walk...he's happiest when he's standing!

Toes

I always saw pictures of babies grabbing their feet and playing with their toes, so ever since Zion was born I kept wondering when he would find his. I thought something was wrong after a couple months when he wouldn't grab his feet yet:-) I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore!!!!

He's grown so much!

I never realize how much Zion has grown until I look at pictures from when he was first born. I can't believe how big he is already!

On the move!

It's official...Zion is actually crawling!! He doesn't get too far yet, but he's definately able to move around!! He can pull himself up to standing now too and trys to step from one thing to another (side stepping). I can't believe how old he is already! He's the best baby and every stage is so much fun, we can't wait for all the fun that is still to come! He's very strong and brave so we have to be careful of where he gets and what he does already..he's keeping mommy in shape already, but that's good for me!!!

Cute Closeups

Smile!!

I just can't get over this smile!! It makes my day!! I don't know who could look at this face and not have their day brightened!:-) Hope these pics brighten your day!

Swimming!!

Zion went to the pool today!! He finally started liking baths recently, so we thought maybe he'd enjoy the pool!! He did like it!! He would even start kicking while he was floating in this little crab....so cute!!

Karate

A new school year has started for Iesha! She's already in 8th grade, we can't believe it!! She's started karate this year and loves it so far, so hopefully that will be fun and good! School is keeping her busy so far and she's also involved in a Girl's Group at our church, -busy girl!!

on the verge

Zion will be moving any day now!! He tries to pull himself up on us and step to the side, he tries to let go and turn around and grab something else to hold on to...he's very brave, and when he falls he just starts trying again....very determined little boy! This is a very fun and exciting stage, but we have to keep on eye on him ALL the time!:-)

Hilarious

One of the funniest things Zion does right now is play with the tags on all his toys. He gets so intent on focusing on the little tags and holds them so carefully between his little fingers...he could care less about the rest of the toy that's created for babies usually...he just wants to read the fine print! (these are a little blurry but hopefully you can get the idea)
