Zach has his own language

Kerry Nelson — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 02:35:28 +0000

I read in one of my baby books that in their first two years babies make every noise needed to speak every human language. It seemed unlikely, but apparently why not? I assure you no one around Zach is speaking Asian languages, yet this is how he is talking now. I guess he’ll narrow down [...]

Tumbling Toddler

Zach loves moving around any way he can. He’s practicing his somersaults now! That’s daddy filming from the recliner chair where he’s spent the past week and a half (recovering from his knee surgery, not just being lazy). Zach has started putting on shows to get attention and keep daddy busy.

Playground fun

We’ve fallen way behind in updating the blog this summer. I am hopeful we’ll be able to catch up now that fall has arrived. Like today we are watching the Pats during nap time and posting some video. Sunday is football day in the fall SO in order to ensure a good long afternoon nap [...]

Zach loves daddy

Kerry Nelson — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:43:58 +0000

He’s mastered walking, and now Zach is working really hard to learn to talk. He learned how to say banana months ago, and around 8 months he was whining(really only whining) ma-ma-ma all the time. Lately, he uses some sign, but he loves to make noise. His favorite word this week is Daddy. He says [...]

Beware Parents! It can happen to you

Matt had to work late the other night and Zach and I had a nice evening together. We played a lot, read books, and had a great dinner. After dinner it was bathtime for Zachary! Zach was having a great time in the tub. He was dumping water on his head, splashing and laughing out [...]

Funny Mommy

Mommy and Daddy are always sharing embarassing stories abut me to make their friends laugh. Well, my mommy is pretty funny too! She makes funny faces and noises like this all the time!

Sharing a room with mommy and daddy

One of the best things about our visit to North Conway was sleeping in Mommy and Daddy’s room with them. As soon as I woke up they were right there for me to play with! This is me at 5 AM playing hide n seek/peek-a-boo! It’s a little dark, but it was fun!

Our trip to North Conway

Kerry Nelson — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:44:15 +0000

We are lucky to have a very good and generous close friend, Dan McCarthy, who owns a cabin in North Conway. This weekend he let us use the cabin for a couple of nights so we could all get away. (He rents it out normally and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a [...]

Pushing… it’s the new walking.

Kerry Nelson — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:40:14 +0000

Zach took to his push toys pretty fast. He loves this lion, and the little play car he can push around. I actually think if he didn’t have them he might be walking on his own already. For now he’s afraid of even standing nevermind walking without a hand on something. Instead he has mastered [...]

Swimming

Kerry Nelson — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 01:08:06 +0000

Zach likes the water. At least he likes it in his tub and in the wading pool where he can sit and splash around. He gets a little nervous in water he can’t sit in…We decided to take Zach to swimming lessons. We do know he’s not physically capable of swimming, but we own a [...]
