Explaining the camera

Zach has begun to discover that the camera is not just a large object that mom walks around with on Saturday mornings, but a fascinating thing with buttons and a preview screen that makes him giggle when it displays pictures of him and his buddies.

So, I attempt to explain about the self-portrait shot over the coffee table.


And give him a chance to try the button himself.

Ducks

Baby likes his ducks and his bubble bath. The ducks don't seem to mind either.

Spring fever

Soon. In the meantime, we can buy it in small doses at the grocery store.

Swing

This has kind of been the theme of the last couple of weekends, when the weather warmed up enough to venture outside. Zach cries briefly when swing time is over, but being able to have him run around without destroying the living room has its pluses.

Asleep over toast

He had been eating brunch, then passed out. Didn't even manage to get the toasted onion stick out of his mouth first.

Boys and their phones

Josh and Ryan, playing with their phones.

Family day at the ICA

If you haven't been yet, check out the Shepard Fairey exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. If you have a kid under 12 you can borrow, you can get in free on Family Day, even, which is the last Saturday of the month I think.

Zach did enjoy some of the exhibits, including a cascade of campfire charcoal and a 5 foot cube of straight pins that supposedly were held together with friction alone (he wanted to touch and confirm), but really his favorite part of the trip was the long hallway with glass overlooking the harbor, where he got to eat goldfish crackers and bang on the glass with Lilia.

Out-take:

Saturday morning

Friday we snooze way past our alarm clock and Zach sleeps in till 7, so we scramble to get out of the house in half an hour. Saturday he's up at quarter to 6 and bathed by 7. Guess we just can't win.

Skis

Up at to Loon Mountain in NH last weekend, with Josh and Hilary. (We were joined up there by several of Josh's cohorts from high school, who drove many hours through the snow to the granite state).

This picture below reminds me of why I enjoy skiing, even if I only get around to it about once every 6 years these days.



Zach didn't get to ski, but he did get to hang out with Steve and Brenna's kids, including Agathe, who's almost his age. Here they model hats before heading out to dinner.

Tupperware Party

This is from a few months ago. The drawer of containers continues to entertain.
