Happy 4th of July!

Once we discovered that Zane was ready to sleep with his arms free (with the exception of a few rough starts to the night when a certain someone, who shall remain nameless to protect his innocence, kept poking him in the eye, grabbing his ear and wacking him upside the head) it became a a pretty uneventful week, and then along came the weekend... Zane's been checking out his feet a lot the last couple of weeks, and Friday night he finally just reached out and grabbed one!  I have a feeling we'll see if his toes are as tasty as his fingers pretty soon.

Then on Saturday he had a really busy day when we went to Northwest Trek with some friends.  He got to see all sorts of fun PacNW animals like cariboo, bison, black tailed deer, mountain goats, eagles, beavers, wolverines, cougars, brown bears, and fishers... but the most interesting thing to our little naturalist was all of the trees.  Lots and lots of fun trees to stare at!

Then this morning Zane got to participate in his first ever July 4th parade!  We decided to check it out with our neighbor and her grandsons to see what it was all about, and she even made sure Zane was festive like everyone else.  There were lots of kids out in their red, white and blue.  It was very cute!

And then, as if that wasn't enough for one weekend, Zane did something really spectacular when we got home and he woke up from his nap (the parade wiped him out!)....

drum roll please.....

He rolled over!!!  3 times from his tummy to his back!  Dad missed it by about 5 minutes, but hopefully he'll get to see him do it again tomorrow when we're all home for the last day of our holiday weekend.

So, it still turned out to be a pretty exciting 4th, even if it's the first year we didn't get to go watch the fireworks show and had to watch it on tv...
