In October Karen and I went to MD to go to our good friend Hans and Courtney Hergenroeder’s wedding. Near the end of the trip we were gifted a photo shoot from our good friend and professional photographer Erin Shaklee Fiddler. The location for the photo shoot was Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. The results were fantastic. Thank you so much Erin!
We used these pics for our 2011 Christmas Cards
I have been slacking on keeping ZJ’s blog up to date. I hope to get Karen up and running soon to help me with adding content. Since my last post was in May I thought I would start catching up by taking this post to capture some of our favorite summer memories with ZJ. Enjoy!
ZJ still loves the beach! He is our little baby beach bum
ZJ loved playing with his Cozy Coupe. His first wheels.
Daddy turned 30 years old in June. Here is a great pic of 3 Perry generations.

Our little man is 18 Months old and still growing strong. During a doctor visit April 18th he weighed in at 25 lbs flat. He is just like me, skinny with a big belly
1. ZJ is still the biggest flirt in the world. He loves people and just the sight of other children puts a smile on his face ear to ear.
2. ZJ is a little troublemaker. He plays my air intake vent like a music instrument and/or throws toys and then slowly looks at you to see how you will react. He also stands up on chairs to get a reaction. I have no idea why he desires so much attention. He surely didn’t get that from me
3. ZJ has a funny habit now where he throws his hands up in a “Pick me up” motion. He does it to EVERYBODY. Even the cashier at Walmart! We have to keep an eye on him.
4. I believe ZJ is starting to recognize pictures of himself. He sure likes to watch video’s of himself. I showed him the video below and he started cracking up.
5. ZJ is a drummer. We are going to have to buy him a set soon. He loves music and loves to dance. We still play guitar together but he is losing interest fast. I guess it is time for me to learn some new songs.
Mama, Dada (sometimes he says Daddy Doo too), Nana, RoRo (Our Daycare has a Nanny named Rosa who the kids call RoRo), Bye Bye, Ba Ba, Kitty Cat, Tay Tay, MMMMMmmmmmMMMMMmmmmm (as in Yummy!) and most recently… Elmo! He is starting to imitate our words at an escalated rate so it is time to retire the naughty words.
If your watching this at work you may want to turn your speakers down. Music = Jimi Hendrix’s “Red House”. I hope you enjoy!

ZJ is sixteen months into the game of life and we are loving every moment of it. Z-Man (as his daycare girlfriend calls him) loves to eat good food and listen to all kinds of music. When he hears a good song he either head bangs, dances or starts singing in a gibberish that only he seems to understand. Below are two of my favorite video’s from February. This first is of ZJ scarfing on some yummy bread while Mom cooks spaghetti. The second is of ZJ jamming out on the guitar prior to bedtime (which is a nightly ritual now). Please pardon the Zane Sr. partial nudity. Enjoy!
