Out on the Pontoon Boat

Last weekend we went with three other couples to the lake. We rented one of those party barge/pontoon things and spent the day in the sun. We stopped and got out in the lake several times to swim. Zane did really great! He was not too sure about the big life vest he had to wear. Other than not really liking that, he was wonderful. He slept well, ate well, played well, and enjoyed the water as much as the big folks did.

LIfe's Little Moments

Here are a few more fun moments of life with Zane. We just love watching him find humor in the little things, try new things, learn to do more, and just live life to the fullest. What an example for the rest of us that have forgotten to just joy in the little things in life.

Here Zane enjoys standing up on his own. He is just so proud of himself when he pulls up without any help. He still loves to have us walk him around, as you will see in the video. He loves exploring new things (like the hanger in the video). He is learning to eat new things. It takes a few tries sometimes. In the video it was avocados that he was trying for the first time. We weren't so sure about them at first, but now they are a favorite. Zane is getting around into everything. He loves finding new things to touch and explore. One day I found him under the clothes hamper. He was just having a ball! Our absolute favorite thing to do is chase Bear, our dog, around. Zane usually is not quick enough to catch Bear unless he sneaks up on him while Bear is sleeping. But with Daddy's help, chasing Bear has all new meaning!

Maybe we can take a lesson from Zane and begin enjoying the little things in life again.
