St. Valentine's Day

Here's the perfect picture. I am Mommy's Little Valentine and she is letting everyone know it today. I decided to bless her with my smile while I am enjoying myself in my jumper.

Mom is always snapping the pictures too soon. I am trying to tell her to get my good side so I can attact all the girls at school. I think she was upset from the idea of other girls liking me.

Yeah!!! It's finally here. My first Valentine's Day. Mommy made brownies for me to bring to school with Hershey minatures. If I am not the favorite by being so cute, I will be through bribery.

Impersonation

Here is my impersonation of Hannibal Lector, aka the face I use with Mommy.

Trip to Pop-pop's and Gigi's

I am popular boy at Gigi's house. Everyone wants to sit by me which is how it should be.

Unfortunately, I was not available for this picture (prior commitments) but it is still cute enough to post. Aunt Kathy, Dallas and Chaz are visiting Grandmom Conn's house.

I finally have a picture with Mommy's goddaughter and my cousin Dallas. We make a great pair, don't we?

Here is Aunt Kimmy taking care of me and putting in a good word for her to be my favorite.

My Firsts

Now this is what I call progress. All I need now is some real food and I am good to go. Mom is always telling me that my horse does not like it when I pull his tail or leg but I do not think he minds so much.

Here I am chillin', watching TV and Mom has to whip out the camera again. Well how would I know that playing with my hands could be a monumental event. So I can link my fingers (what Mom likes to call sausages) together.

Yup, I am a big boy and holding by bot. Do not let it get out though because why should I hold it when someone else will do it for me.

I am finally eating my first bowl of cereal. Even though I am smiling, I do not like it too much. I have a feeling that I may be fighting Splinter for my food. :)

Christmas Dinner

Chaz is helping Mommy by feeding and entertaining me. Chaz sat next to me during dinner and had me smiling the whole time. I did my first giggle because he was so funny.

I got to sit on Pop-pop's lap the entire time and had my first mashed potatoes. They were so good!


Aunt Kathy and my cousin, Kiera took time to pose with me. Kiera is playing the new Wii station that Dallas, Chaz and her got from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Tony with GiGi watching. Just wait until I can play, I will be kicking all their butts. :)

Christmas Morning!

This is more like it! Aunt Sarah is feeding me my second breakfast. I thought I was going to wither away. I even did not mind the Santa hat once I was able to get something in my belly.

By this time, I am a little hungry. I did not want to take anymore pictures but I suffered through it. The Santa hat was getting a little hot and itchy too. All in all, I am glad to have taken a picture with Aunt Sarah, Grandmom Gerry and Aunt Jess.

Christmas morning is finally here and Santa came! (I know him.) Mommy and Daddy cooked breakfast for everyone (Daddy did most of the cooking thankfully) and we took a family picture in front of the picture Mommy painted for Grandmom Gerry a couple of years ago.

Zahner's Christmas Eve

I think this sums up Christmas Eve pretty well. After a long night of partying, I fell asleep sitting up. I have a feeling this will happen often through out my life especially around my 21st and 22nd birthdays. :)

Here is a great picture of me sleeping in Aunt Missy's (Uncle Dan's fiance) arms. Jenny is sitting on Mommy's other side. She is Uncle Mike's girlfriend.

Daddy is standing with Uncle Mike during Christmas Eve. This picture would be better if I was in it.

Here is my Uncle Rob and Uncle Dan at Grandmom Gerry's house.

Every Christmas Eve, Mommy and Daddy hang out with their friends at Grandmom Gerry's house. Uncle Rob gave me an awesome teddy bear. It is really soft! I will be counting on Uncle Rob to make sure that I always look good when I grow up.

After the Stocks', I went to Aunt Irene and Uncle Tom's Christmas Eve party. Grandmom Gerry and Aunt Sarah were there waiting to play with me.

Stocks' Christmas Eve

Dot is definitely one of my favorites. She played with me a lot when I went over her house and gave me great gifts. I had such a great time and can't wait until I can eat all that great food I saw Mommy eating.

Uncle Danny took time to spend with me on Christmas Eve before going out. He is already teaching me the bad things every little boy needs to know. Mommy would not let me post the picture of Uncle Danny showing me my very first hand gesture.

I had a lot of fun at the Stock's Christmas Eve party. I was the center of attention which is where I like to be. (I think I take after my mommy in that regard.) Here I am just relaxing with Dan and Mommy.

First Christmas

Splinter is my best friend. He is a rat terrier and I have a fun time watching him run around the house. Won't he be surprised when I can chase him and play with him. He will not know what to do.

I am opening my very first Christmas present with Daddy and Splinter. It is from Aunt Shelley, Uncle Matt, and Spencer. It is actually the day before Christmas Eve but Mommy and Daddy let me open it because we were traveling a lot the next day.

Mommy made me my very own stocking for my first Christmas. I can't wait to see what Santa puts in it.


Here is one of my first Christmas Ornaments. I am looking forward to putting it on the tree every year.

Thanksgiving 2007

I like to snuggle with Grandmom Gerry too.


I am sitting with Aunt Jen after dinner. It was so nice to snuggle with her that I fell asleep.

Here is my mom, dad and me during Thanksgiving at Grandmom Z's house. We just got done singing Happy Birthday to daddy, who turned 30 on November 12th.

Christening

Here is my mom, dad and me right after I was baptized.

My mom and dad are posing with my brand new godparents, Uncle Paul and Aunt Kimmy.


Monsignor Hobbs is anointing me with oil during my baptism.


On November 18, 2007, I was christened in the Basillica. There were lots of pictures taken during my special day and everyone had a great time.

Here I am with Uncle John and Aunt Chrissy. They are sitting with me while Mommy and Daddy get ready for my Christening. I am looking forward to playing with Liam and Lexi.

Favorite Aunt?

Aunt Kimmy and Drew

Aunt Kathy and Drew

Both Aunt Kimmy and Aunt Kathy came to visit me at my home. I am about a month and a half old and love my aunts very much. They both say they are my favorite but I will never tell. :)
