A picture to prove my last blog…

...now to catch the laugh on tape!

He’s really working on his laugh!

We can’t get him to laugh very often, but we' have heard it a couple times.  The first two times, it was more of a giggle, but yesterday we were playing with him and he gave us an unmistakable laugh.  I can’t wait until we can get him laughing all the time so I can post a video!

They're both getting so big!

It's been a little bit since I posted. We had a couple of days there where Zach's schedule was off for some reason, but I think we're good now! (Hopefully) I think it was his way of showing me I was getting way too used to all of this sleep.
My nieces, Bree and Caitlin, were over today. Bree's going to take a class to become a certified babysitter and I think she will do a great job. (We'll be inviting her over a little more often, haha) I can't believe Bree is going to be in seventh grade next year! I was her age when I started babysitting her and her siblings. Now I have a kid of my own that she's ready to start training to babysit! Man how time flies...

Almost seven hours last night! And I'm not sure Zach would have even woke up that soon if it wasn't for his mommy getting out of bed for a minute. It seems he won't sleep without me next to him lately.
Zach and I went for our first walk together today. I promise he liked it so much more then he's trying to tell you in the picture! (I love how his eskimo outfit swallows him.) He liked the walk so much, in fact, that at the end of the walk he was sound asleep. Actually, he was asleep about one minute after the picture was taken. And then he stayed asleep long enough for mom to take a shower, make a bookmark, and clean the bathroom. And even after that he has only been up for no more than 30 minutes at a time. Just enough to eat. Hopefully he sleeps good enough tonight after sleeping all day long.

The direction is changing a little bit

I started this as a photo blog and although I'm sure there will be many more pictures to come, that won't be my focus. I want a place to record what's going on in Zach's life and to be able to easily keep everyone updated.
I was happy to wake up this morning after 8 hours of sleep! I never expected to feel this rested with a one month old baby. Then he filled his belly up and went back to sleep for 3 more hours.
I put zach on a scale with me yesterday. I won't tell how much I weighed, but he weighs 12.5 pounds already! I can't believe how fast he's growing and how much he's eating! His daddy said he had to feed him the whole two hours I was gone today. It will be interesting to see what his weight will be at his 2 month appointment.
Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of updating this blog. If not, I can think of a couple of people who might keep me on it! ;-p

Just throwing in a quick post while I have internet access!  Internet has been going in and out for the past two days so I haven't been able to effectively update.  Hopefully I'll be back on track tomorrow...

I'm a grandma!

...And I'm not even a mom yet!  We weren't sure when our cat Lacuna would have her kittens, we were just hoping it would not be the same day I went in to labor.  We did, however, think that there would be more than one in there!  Here she is almost 12 hours after labor began this morning enjoying being a mother of her single kitten.  We are happy she only had one because we didn't think we could handle a litter of kittens with my own little one coming.
