Friends

Today Zack had a play date with his friend Conner. I called my friend Kim to tell her that I was coming to get Zack, and she told me don't bother because they were both asleep in Conner's crib. I am still amazed that she was able to pull this one off! Such sweet boys!

Here are Zack, Conner and Piper at our house this weekend. Piper has asked to be Zack's girlfriend, but we have decided they need to wait a few years (ok, a lot of years)!

First haircut

After looking at some pictures (check out the rodeo pictures), I noticed that Zack's hair was quite long, and looking quite, well...he just needed a haircut!

As you can somewhat see here - his hair was quite long in the front and hung over his ears.

I definitely did not know what I was doing, but it didn't turn out too bad!


This is JUST from over one of his ears!

Handsome little guy.

Bath and Bed time with my Buddy!

Time for a bath after a long day at the Rodeo!

!

All ready for bed. So cute!

Watson is so cute and sweet. We just loved getting to know him even more!

Watson was so nice to share his toys with Zack. He also taught Zack how to pull up on things. (Zack started pulling up at thier house!)

Thanks Granthams for a wonderful visit and we can't wait to see you soon!

Houston Rodeo

A couple of weekends ago we went to Houston to visit the Granthams and go to the Houston Rodeo. Here is our little cowboy!!

Zack loved watching the rodeo! Look at that crazy hair!

Zack and Watson

So cute! He looks so natural on a tractor. A true East Texas boy!

All Aboard! Giving Watson a ride.

We can't wait for the Rodeo again next year!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Daddy has a little of Irish in him, so that makes Zack, a Wee Bit O' Irish, just like his (dirty) shirt says! Happt St. Patrick's Day!!

Crawling - finally!

Bad hair day!

Fun at the park

All ready to go to the park!

This is a really neat park that we have in town. You can see it in the background.

First time on a swing. Do you think he liked it??

All the swinging wore him out. The perfect ending to a fun day!

Big boy carseat

It was time to get Zack a big boy carseat, so this weekend we finally made the purchase. Here he is one last time in his baby carseat.

Not quite sure what he thinks about his new seat. He does look so tiny in it though!
It didn't take long! He loves sitting up and looking around.

My Giraffe J.J.

This is Zack's new favorite. We have named him J.J. This was a gift given at my baby shower

by my mom - Grandma. Thanks Grandma for this wonderful gift. Zack loves it!

What a little cutie!

This is a great picture to show most of his teeth!

Sorry the video is sideways. I can't figure out how to rotate it. But, it is too cute not to share (except for my commentary - ignore that!!!)

The best medicine!

Since the last time!

Since I have posted on the blog last, a lot has happened in the Thornton world. Here are a few of those things.

• Zack has had his 2nd ear infection, and highest fever so far!
• Mommy survived kidney stones! There is another one that I am waiting to pass - oh what joy!
• Zack is completely on the bottle - we lasted 10 months of nursing!!
• Since he is strictly on formula, he has gained 3 lbs. He is now in the 20's finally!
• He has cut 2 more teeth - 8 and counting.
• Zack turned 10 months old (pictures are coming soon)
• Zack is almost crawling.
• He is clapping and gets very excited when we say "yeah"!!

He is always smiling - even when he is sick.

Here he is in the crawling position. He is scooting ALL OVER the house, but not quite crawling.

Mommy and Zack. We are both feeling much better!

Zack learned how to play the guitar with Daddy. They make such pretty music together.

He has figured out how to get through the gate when it is not closed! He was so proud of himself, and a little mischievous, can you tell???

Zack and Daddy were also in a wedding a few weeks ago. Kris' brother Joey, and his fiance Robin had a beautiful wedding. Didn't my boys look so handsome?
Oops, Mommy forgot to take out the pacifier before he went down the isle!

Zack and MeMe

Pappy and Little Man

The Thornton family

Being silly with Nanny

Also, I made my first baby food!! This neat grinder does all the work for you. I made carrots and peaches. He did not like either - I think it was the different texture - but hopefully he will start liking it soon, because it sure is a lot cheaper to make it yourself!

AND - Zack has become more and more of a little entertainer and comedian! He makes us laugh daily. What a blessing he has been to our lives.

We hope everyone is doing well! We miss you and love you.
