Half a Happy Birthday

Hi folks, we have enjoyed some warmer weather recently. A few good days as a taste of things to come.  Just uploaded a bunch of new photos from the last month so check out the gallery for photos or check the link below where I uploaded photos to the picasa website as a trial:

The site is pretty convenient so I'll try it for a bit.  Navigating the pictures is easy (arrow keys work too) and it appears to preload the next picture ahead for faster viewing.  There is a slideshow mode too.

Zachary is onto some basic 'solid'(-like) food.  Namely rice cereal (porridge).  A fair amount of mess is made and it's hard to tell if he likes it or is just bemused by the whole experience.  He laughs at the cat when she goes by while the cat sometimes takes notice of him and gives him a sniff or a lick.  Perhaps he smells like catfood.

Zachary is prone to bursts of laughter and also squealing and other random noises.  This never happens when a phone is held out to him encouragingly however.

Zachary is 6 months old Sunday the 18th!  Naturally the amusement of this new toy has worn off and we are expecting him to start to work for his living.  Until then we will be keeping a tab of all his expenses and charging a interest rate sufficient to fund our retirement.
