Playing...

Now that Zach is getting older he is definitely getting more interactive. He loves to lay on the floor and play with mom, dad and his toys. He is very adept at rolling onto his side but has not quite made it all the way over from his back. He has rolled from his tummy to his back though! We tried out the walker as you can see and the legs are a wee bit too short yet, but he'll be tooling around before we know it. Another little tid bit i wanted to add was that we have a clever boy as he seems to figure mommy out very quickly. See our Zach does not like to nap during the day. So every time i figure out a new way to put him to sleep, it works for about 1-2 days and after that he's onto me! Then he fights my methods tooth and nail :) My mom welcomed me to the world of motherhood and advised i will need to stay one step ahead for the rest of my life! Haha. Let's hope i can keep out smarting the little guy...

Auntie's Visit

So my sister's visit was wonderful. Broken arm and all she enjoyed spending time with Zach. We had to come up with some creative ways for her to hold him though! He was fascinated by her pink cast and loved playing with his Auntie. We had our first trip to the zoo most of which was lost on him but we adults had a great time. Each day brings more changes in the little man. He loves to be pulled into an sitting position and then he uses his chubby little legs to stand up! He rolled onto his side a few times but hasn't made it completely over. He was sitting on our bed the other day and i let go to see if he could sit by himself. He stayed up for about 2 seconds before TIMBER he fell over. Of course he loved that. We are going to our first program at the library tomorrow so that should be fun...

Long Overdue

I can't believe its been almost two months since my last post! I am so sorry...things have been busy to say the least. Being a parent is definitely a full time 24 hour a day job :) I love it! Well i resigned today from Enterprise so i am officially a stay at home mom now which is very exciting. Since my last post we have had visits from Grammie & Gramps (my parents) and spent the past two weeks in Hilton Head with Rob's Fam. Zach got to meet his Aunts Laurie & Julie and his Uncle Tommy. We had a blast. The little guy did not like the beach yet but he did well at the pool. He went out to dinner or lunch almost every day and he went on a Catamaran cruise one night. Of course he slept the whole time. Zach is getting to be a big boy, he had grown so much in the past couple months. At his 2 month appt he weighed 13 lbs 10 oz and was 24 inches long. He is at the top end of the growth chart right now. He has started to babble now and carried on some great conversation with his Grampa S. He loves to be in a sitting position and even pulls up onto his feet! I can't wait until he starts to laugh. Zach is not a very good day sleeper but he has been doing great at night. He goes to bed around 9:00 pm and sleeps usually until about 5:30 am. After I feed him he goes back to sleep until around 7:00 am. Well i think that about summarizes things for now. Will hopefully be better in the future about updating...

Growing Like a Weed!

Zach had his 1 month birthday this week! We can't believe it, the time has flown by. Our little man is getting SO big. We put him on the scale with Rob today and he came in at 11 lbs! I have a feeling he is going to be a tank :) He definitely is eating well. We have experienced a bit of what i am guessing is colic. He is fussy at night probably from 9-11, but them ends up sleeping well. So i guess i am thankful he's not up all night. He is only getting up once now around 4:30 a.m. Not much up for this weekend. Meg is coming for a visit tomorrow and Grammie and Gramps (my parents) have booked a flight for the end of the month! We can't wait!

Easter & First Bath

So we had our 2 week check up on Wednesday of last week and our little man was 8 lbs 14oz and 22 1/4 inches long! He has gained a pound and grown an inch in just 2 weeks! crazy! His umbilical cord also fell off at the Dr. office. SO that led to his first bath today! He has not been liking his sponges baths but as soon as i put him in the water this morning he perked right up and ended up loving it. We also had Rob's parents visiting for Easter. The other photo here is with Zach's first Easter basket goodies. We celebrated yesterday as Rob's dad drove home today. I still can't believe how fast the time is going by and how big he is getting. Now all i have to do is learn how to get him to sleep in his bassinet...

Week 2

Here we are week 2! i can't believe Zach is almost 2 weeks old! We go for our two week Dr. appt tomorrow so we will see how much out little guy weighs. Rob and i are having so much fun being parents. it still takes two of us to change the really messy diapers and he is not a big fan of his sponge baths, but we are getting the hang of it. I had my first night just the two of us last night which went better than i thought it would. Zach christened me with his first water spout, apparently i was not quick enough with the diaper :) Rob's mom and dad are coming back down on thursday for Easter and his mom will stay the week. Zach (and I) already misses his Grammie who left on Sunday, but she will be back soon!

Week 1

Here is our precious little one! He is such a joy and Rob and I are SO enjoying being parents!
