LA xmas - "Me too" is z's favorite saying now--determined that he won't be left out

He makes this expression when he gets a gift

Z really gets christmas this year


He entertains us by singing "Banta Caws Coming Down" (Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and talking about the "noman" (Snowman) and "crackers" (nutcrackers)

Snow day! Z loves tubing, especially when all the tubes are tied together to make a "choo choo brain" (train)



Aunt Carmen

Fairytale Town in Sacto is fun for everyone

Zane can almost do everything at the playground now


Z won't let anyone help until he says "elp me"
First time rollerskating--skates all tightened so they hardly roll--
he finally lets go of hands on the rink and moves a little to the disco

Up at "ganpa and gamma's" house in Auburn
Z is really starting to put words together in sentences now,
most memorably on the trip, "Eddie (ezra) broke it"

It's "code outide" and "waining"

Unexpected beach day

Bathtime is so fun Z frequently tries climbing in with no water and all his clothes on

When Z wakes up in the morning, he says "kitchen" and runs in to see whats for breakfast but he's a fan of "lawnchtime" and "dinna" as well although "nacktime" (snacktime) is perhaps his favorite

The chick/duck comes out to play one last time

This "baby" is a little too big

Z helps cook and really enjoys the "tuhkey" at grammies for Thanksgiving

Z says "ditty" for "kitty" and wants to eat "breets" (treats) at the hello kitty show

Driving is one of Z favorite things to do

Z helps with the plumbing


21 months now! New stats: 34 1/2 inches and 29 1/2 lbs

Z turns into a teletubby

"dyepah off" turns into nude party at the beach


Lounging with T.C. Boyle on the boat ride home

On the boat out to Santa Cruz Island
Z is very proud of his sunglasses

Z has a great time on our trip to the island too, riding in the truck, running on the trails and in daddy's back pack




Pouting Z--when he has an "owie" or hurt feelings he looks for a
kiss to make it better "toe-kiss" or "knee-kiss" are asked for often
