How to Jump Down from the Bed

Baby Zion learns how to jump down from the bed like the adventurous explorer that he is — by clinging to the bedsheets and extending his feet first over the abyss. He learns things so quickly!

Gallivanting at the Golden Gate Bridge

Gallivanting at the Golden Gate Bridge. Photo taken late May 2010. 11 months old.

This was taken on the day my relatives “kidnapped” Zion and brought him on an excursion with some visiting friends out to SFO and the Golden Gate Bridge. We didn’t know he was out of the house until my mother-in-law called us from the Golden Gate Bridge to say “Oh, by the way, we went out, okay?” LOL.

Patting the Fake Dog

Zion Playing with the Fake Dog at the Old Navy store on 08/04/2010

There’s something about mannequins that attracts babies and toddlers. Especially if they’re both at the same height or smaller. Zion was amused by this fake dog at the Old Navy outlet store and kept patting it for a full 3 minutes.

Stinky Face

Sometimes we wonder: how does he learn to make these funny faces? And then we look in the mirror.
