Clean and Cute

Happy baby after his bath.

Blankets Are Tasty...

The oral stage has begun. Zach is still slow to grab things, but he had fun the other night with the tag blanket Grammy made.

My New Bouncy Seat

Inspired by Zach's affection for the lights on the swing, I picked up a bouncy seat with lights. The speed with which the lights change makes me dizzy, but he seems to like it.

Finally! A swing he likes!

Zach never took to swings until we went to visit Grammy, and he got to use cousin Hannalise's Take Along swing. I found one on Craigslist when I got home. This is his reaction:

Rolling...

Zach hasn't made it all the way over (that stinkin' arm keeps getting in the way) but he likes hanging out on his side.

Bath Time Is Fun

We've started using a European tub that allows Zach to sit up. Now, the only bath time tears happen when we take him out.

Finally Found My Thumb!

Zach loves to put his hands in his mouth, but only occassionally finds his thumb (which is what I think he is really looking for).

And One More...

Thanks for my cute onesie, Uncle Ray and Deb!!

Another Halloween Picture (I Couldn't Resist)...

The Two Zachs

Here's a picture of Zach K. hanging out with Zach S., our friend that we met at mom and baby yoga. This was taken at our Halloween Stroller Strides class -- they are both such good sleepers and so nice for letting their moms get some exercise in.

Zach and Polly

Polly is very excited about being a big sister, although Zach gets "too heavy" for her to hold sometimes.

Fun with mirrors

Zach loves to look at his reflection in his mirror. It's pretty much the only way I can get in his "tummy time."

Bath time

Daddy, what are you doing to me??

So This Is What Hands Are For...

Zach is just starting to learn how to bat at toys with his hands. The shocked look on his face when he first did it was priceless.

He's a pro at kicking the hanging bells on his Gymini mat, though.

My Two Boys, Doing What They Do Best...

Sleeping.

Three Weeks Old!

Hard to believe that he was that tiny!

Hanging with Grammy...

Here's a shot of one of the few moments when she put him down.

Zach and Sammy Meet for the First Time

Sammy wasn't too sure what to think of with his mom, Hillary, holding baby Zach.

And here's Sammy's dad, Scott, serving as the baby whisperer.

Feed Me!

Need I say more?

The Only Reason to Love George Bush

The effect he has on my baby:

Zach was fussy for an hour, and 5 minutes after George Bush came onto the TV, he was sound asleep.

Happy Halloween! (So I'm a Litle Behind...)

You try posting on the internet with a newborn who doesn't want to be put down. ;)

Thanks to Gram-mary and Giogi for the cute Tigger outfit. It got daddy lots of candy (and beer) from the neighbors!

And thanks to the Bothwells for letting us tag along to trick-or-treat!
