Halloween with our walking boy!

SO much fun feeding himself!
Gotta love the soggy bread on his shoulder

Just cute

So we're a little late getting up Halloween pictures, but better late than never! For Halloween Zak was a lion. He went trick-or-treating to just a few family and friends and was dead asleep after the 4 house visits. We had fun getting him dressed and especially doing the little photo shoot.
Zak has also started walking like crazy! It's so fun to see him pop up and start walking kinda slowly and then goes faster and faster until he can't really keep up with himself and falls or gets to his destination. He usually walks with his hands high in the air which just adds to the cuteness.

He had his 9month wellness check up last week (which he was actually 10 months old...but just got him in) and he wighed 19.2 lbs. and is 29 1/2 in. tall. He was in the twenties for his percentile in weight and the 80's for his height. He eats just about everything, but aparently doesn't feel like gaining much weight. His favorite game is to be chased. It cracks him up to have someone coming after him! He's also loving to feed himself. He thinks this is one of the funnest things ever and he always offers mom and dad a bite of whatever is in his slimy hand. So generous!

Nate and I are doing well. We're loving our calling as Sunbeam teachers. Our class is doing sharing time in 2 weeks...so if anyone has good ideas for that let me know! Nate is still just doing research and is liking it as long as there is stuff for him to be doing. I just fill in at odd jobs here and there and stay home with Zak. That's basically our exciting life for now!

We're so excited for the Holiday season and definitely ready for them!


Zak walking. He's kinda grumpy about it when he's gotta do it on demand, but doing it on his own, he loves!
