Milestones

Zachary is officially halfway to age 1!  Aaron and I comment on a daily basis about how much her has changed recently.  He is able to sit on his own for short periods of time, which is a relief for all of us since he has wanted to do nothing but sit up for the last couple of months.  He loves food, especially fruit, though carrots are at the top of the list, too.  He continues to sleep well and talk non-stop.  He thinks all dogs are funny, but Brinkley is especially hilarious.  He is starting to laugh more (finally!  I was beginning to wonder if he had any Grecian genes in him!) and his personality is really coming out.  Just when I think "this is the most fun stage" then the next stage arrives, and it is even better.

The six month photo shoot was a little more difficult than months 1-5.  He is sitting up better now...

But within minutes, he started chewing on his sticker.

And then he discovered my camera strap as I was taking close ups.

Zachary wasn't the only one celebrating a milestone birthday.  My grandma Jo turned 100 years old on October 29!  It is incredible to think of all the things that have happened in the world in her lifetime!  We had a wonderful celebration with her.

And lastly, I had a milestone birthday, too.  The big 3-0!  I know 30 is a hard one for a lot of women to cope with.  I am not having that problem, though it does seem weird to think that my 20's are behind me. If Grandma Jo is any indication, though, I am just getting started!  To celebrate, Grandma Linda came to watch Zachary, and we had a rare night out with friends!
