Things we learned this week

1. If Mommy and Daddy are eating, Zach wants to eat -- even if he just finished a full meal.

2. Just because Zach doesn't like green bean baby food, doesn't mean he doesn't like chunks of green beans. In fact, he loves green bean chunks.

3. When you go to Famous Dave's, but forget the diaper bag (which has all the toys), Mommy's bottle of Tylenol makes a great toy.

On Thursday Zach has his 9 month doctor appointment. What a big boy! Immediately following that, we're packing up the car, dropping Annie at Gamma and Gampa's and heading to Aberdeen for a long weekend. It'll be Zach's first car trip and we're not quite sure what to expect. I suspect the normally 4.5 hour trip will take much, much longer. We'll see.
