CAN YOU SAY "TOOLS" . . . . .

Talk about "like father, like son!" Zack loves to play with his tools. I think he thinks the stairs are his "work bench." Here's a picture of Zack hard at work! He asked me to put on his goggles and a few moments later I looked to see what he was doing, only to find him with them pulled up and he was serious about his JOB! Oh boy, do we have another builder in our house?

Here we are at the South 47 Farm. We met some friends out here after a morning of rain.

OUT OF SEPTEMBER AND INTO OCTOBER

It's already October, where has the time gone? Let's see. The last week of September was a pretty rough one for us. Zack's 2nd year molars decided to make their way in and someone was a little unhappy about this. (Well, I guess we all were in some way or the other.) Our poor Zack was just miserable, he wouldn't eat or sleep. Here's a photo showing how tired (and wet from droll) our little guy was after a few hard days. Luckily, by last Thursday (27th) things started to improve. Steve and I went to Arizona for a long weekend with some friends and Uncle Mike, Aunt Ne Ne and Cousin Joy watched him for us on Thursday night. Grandma and Grandpa Peeler took over Friday to Sunday. Both reports came back good, other than a few sleepless nights.

Since we've been back, I've noticed that Zack's vocabulary is increasing more and more each day. We teach him one word, before we know it he is saying it all by himself as we are driving down the road. One of his latest words is "hoot hoot." (from the Owl on his pjs.) He also says uncle and me ne (for ne ne). Zack has enjoyed playing with our couch pillows since we've been home as well. He takes them all off of the couch and places them in a pile to lay or sit on. Today he put them between the chair and ottoman, almost like a fort. (I wonder if he learned this from his cousin.) Zack is also obsessed with my blush and eyebrow brushes. He's been carrying them around for days. He's all about discovering new things.
