Better Luck Next Season

Zach did a great job supporting both of his teams this year, but we all know they can do better next season!

Mr. Happiness

Hey--wouldn't these make a great mouse pad??

Z was adorable in the bathtub today...I got to listen to his first real giggle! Didn't have the video camera nearby...but this is pretty good too! He really enjoys bath time, smiles at me, kicks and splashes water everywhere. I end up as wet as he is. I think he would be happy if I let him stay in the tub all day...I take him out, and he wails! But at least I get to enjoy bath time now...I much prefer giggling to the incessant crying we used to suffer through!

Happy Baby makes a Happy Momma

Zachary, the Entertainer

This reminds me of a picture with my parents and me from when I was a baby...sorry I don't have it online! Maybe Nana and Poppa have a copy...?

15 weeks! (oh my goodness...)

Dada! *

Z has become such a chatterbox. He talks to me and Paul, he talks to himself, he talks to the elephant mobile hanging over his crib. It's so much fun to hear him stringing together syllables, like he's really trying to tell us something. Although I think most of the time he is trying to tell us that he is hungry--after he's talked for a few minutes, the chattering becomes louder and more insistent, until it crosses over into demanding wails.




*Paul is still hoping that will be Z's first word...I'm of course repeating Momma all day long...we will see!

Adventures of a SweaterVest Baby

Z's Great Aunt Catherine (as opposed to his great Aunt Catherine) gifted him with a delightful little sweater vest outfit...with one caveat--that she be able to see him before he outgrew it. Well, unfortunately my little Z is a bit of an eater, and outgrew the sweatervest sooner than expected. But we were able to take the SweaterVest Baby on a number of outings before the last time we put him in it and he nearly split the seams.

The fire is so delightful...

and so is spending time with Grandma Ann!

camera hogs!

Z will not lack for entertainment growing up with this family..hehe!

Playoffs...

at least the bucs have secured a great draft pick for 2010!

Too bad the Pats are playing the Ravens, it would have been nice to have two teams to cheer on. At least we know one team we like will be moving on to round two!

and don't worry--Z will be wearing his Patriots outfit on Sunday!!

Tis the Season...

To catch up on some blogging!
