terraZACtyl

One of the many nicknames that we have for Zachary is TerraZactyl.
He can make noises just like a Terradactyl when he gets excited.
We think that is so funny and cute.
AND it makes us laugh everytime.
Especially when he thinks it's funny to do it during church.

The other day we were excited that it was not raining so we could enjoy some sunny weather.
We headed on a walk to the park to enjoy the swings, slides, and music chimes.

I love all of these pictures because I could not get Zac to look at me.
He is just so interested these days with everything around him.
He especially loved the cars, other kids, and our shadows.
We are loving the days that we can get out of the house for some fun!

Elmo Book

For Valentines day Zac got an Elmo Valentines day book from Grandma and Grandpa Cooper. Zachary loves it so much. We read it over and over (mainly so he can feel the pages). I have a feeling that it is not going to last until next Valentines day!! But we will enjoy it while it still is in one piece!

Relaxing reading his book.

Rolling to get his book.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the book!
We love you too!
