Built for power, not speed

Zack is a terrain consumer. He reminds me of those Stomper 4x4 toys of the 80's that will crawl over anything. He seems to want to learn new terrain. On inclined ramps and walkways, he will continuously walk up and down them as if he wants to practice. Also in the sand at the playground he seems drawn to this new terrain and will work on walking over it again and again to get better. He's currently moved onto lumpy grass patches. He's certainly not the fastest baby on two feet, but he seems dedicated to making sure he can walk on anything. However, going down steps are still a barrier. He refuses to back himself down steps and wants to hold a hand and walk down it forwards (dangerous). At least he won't do it forwards by himself.

Food fights: Let the difficult feeding sessions begin. Peas and Cheerios aren't just for eating anymore, they fly nicely through the air and onto the floor.
