Before we get into the Chanukkah pictures, let's start with an adventure in artistic expression in which Zachary got into mommy's desk drawer and decorated his cheeks with the markers therein:
For the beginning of Chanukkah, we flew down to L.A. to spend some time with Aunt Lois (Marcia's sister) and their parents - Zachary's Great-grandparents - Bubbie and Zaide:
Here, we were sitting around the table and Zach was naming each and every member of his family present: We visited the Noah's Ark exhibit at the Skirball Center:
Zachary got to tromp about in his new raincoat and rain boots from Bubbie and Zaide:
And Zachary opened up lots of presents for Chanukkah! A xylophone and a truck book - and trucks themselves! - from Lois and Judi:
A book from Sid and Muriel:
And a toy guitar from Nana and Gramps:
Back at home, some dinosaurs from Baba Raja and Annie...
And some shirts that Zach loved so much, he immediately started stripping down to put one on!
He also loved the hat from Barbara and Lewis - and even insisted on wearing it as soon as he woke up this morning, and the drawing pad and puzzle. Zach lines the puzzle pieces to make "trains," and keeps insisting on playing with his camels:
He enjoyed the Mr. Potato Head:
Mom and Lou also sent some little vehicles - a schoolbus, fire engine, and police car. But to go with them - and all of the other vehicles - Mommy has been working on a play-mat for weeks and weeks - maybe even months! - sewing a little town with roads all by hand and even designing and constructing a bridge too!
Here's what it looks like all together without a toddler on it:
More pictures next year... Happy New Year, everyone! Week ending January 17th, 2008. Zachary is two weeks short of 2 years old! Gramps plays his viola for Zachary:
Look out! Zachary is being charged by a row of wild (but very small) dinosaurs!
A trip to the Childrens' Playground in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Riding with Nana on the merry-go-round:
Climbing in one of the play-structures:
...and hanging out on the group W bench:
Back at home, playing an improvised guitar (and singing):
The following weekend (i.e. today) we went to our local park and played around some. Zachary enjoys the swings...
...and exploring one corner of the park with a lot of trees:
Here's a video taken at the same time: And this weeks bonus video, bath-time with Zachary (warning - nudity! :) ) Week ending January 31st, 2009. Zachary is now 2 years old! Here he is at his family birthday party, opening up a present from Karen and Jim:
He's been into robots lately, so this was a present from us:
The big excitement was getting a train set:
He got a towel with a hood, too:
He even got a cake, but you'll see he had something more important on his mind: He received a lot of other presents too, but we didn't get great pictures of all of them. We apologize if you don't get to see your own present being opened and/or used. Here's Zach in his new Thomas the Tank Engine pajama tops from Amy and Arnie:
And some more new pajamas, too! (These ones are from Nana and Gramps)
I've got cream cheese on my nose!
Rock star!
And cuddling with mommy on a lazy Saturday morning:
Week ending February 8th, 2009. Zachary is 2 years old... again! Last week was the family-only birthday party, and this week was the one for the friends. Elinor, Zimena, and Zachary - all two! - had a big fun joint birthday party. Here are the best photos from it. (Parents, feel free to contact me if you want copies of the hi-res images here.)
Birthday girl Zimena:
Birthday girl Elinor:
Zachary's best friend Atticus, who is known around our house (by Zach) as "Atticus friend," "Atticus Trains" or "Atticus House."
Satya and Maya:
Back at home:
Zachary reading a new book he got at the party:
Zachary is still in love with his train set
And sharing graham crackers with his robot!
Week ending March 1st, 2009. Zach is still two. We've been taking pictures, but haven't got a ton of stellar ones. Figured you'd like an update anyhow. We ordered sushi last week. Zach had a lot of fun with the chopsticks. Whenever he sees this photo, he says "Tomago!" (That's Japanese for baked egg sushi, which he loves.)
Still loves his train set:
Daddy holding out his arm and trying to take photos of both the guys together:
And the whole Dashow family in our hoodie sweatshirts:
