Quite a few guests got to witness some of Zach’s first steps at the boys’ first birthday party last weekend. Sadly, Mama and Daddy didn’t get to see it. (Figures… 
). However, he did take a couple steps towards me yesterday when checking out the master bathroom (ah, the joys of exploration), and both of us watched him take a couple steps to Daddy when getting ready for bed this evening.
While Alex learned to crawl much later than Zach did, he’s made huge gains to catch up to his “older” brother at a faster rate. He can pull himself to a stand, cruise along the couch, and crawl right up the stairs. Z & A just love to chase each other around the house, so I would imagine that as Zach toddles around more, Alex will be close behind him.
Wow, they grow up fast. Pics from the party will be posted soon.

Happy birthday to our little gifts from heaven! It’s so hard to believe how much they’ve grown and changed – and changed us – in just one year’s time.

As predicted, the Vandermarks and Belouseks went a little crazy with the cameras at Christmas. It didn’t help that we had three cameras going at various points. We actually had about 600 photos between the three! I did manage to whittle it down to a much more reasonable number – still a lot, but when you consider what I started with, I think I did pretty good. Check them out in the Christmas 2006 album.
Zach and Alex had a lot of fun with all the new things to see and play with. And we all had fun celebrating that first Christmas with them. However, I have to say that for the first time ever, I was happy to take the tree down this year. The boys were just fascinated with it, always wanting to put the branches, ornaments, and lights right into their mouths.
Other new photos have been posted in the newly-created Jan-Feb 2007 album and a couple cute ones from the last days of 2006 (my favorite is the one of Alex sleeping on Eeyore).
