3 months

Zack Attack is 3 months old! Here's some faves...

11 weeks

It is hard to believe that Zack is 11 weeks old this week... seriously, where does the time go? He is starting to smile, play and grab things under his jungle play area, sleep a bit better (seriously, could we go longer than 4 hours now please?!?!? and of course still loving his big brother, or maybe it's the other way around)

Here's some faves from this last week.

LA weekend

We spent last weekend in LA at my auntie Arlie's house with our cousins -- it's so much fun watching all of our kids... Ben, Zack, Avery, Grant & Noelle form bonds and make memories when we spend time with them. The boys are equal in age and play... and soon Noelle & Zack will be playing together too... the good news is that Avery will be able to babysit all of them before we know it! ;)

Catching up... Catching our breath!

Whew!!! What a wild ride the last few months have been... here's a quick catch-up... my parents left 2 weeks ago (thanks again for being sooo helpful and incredible during our baby transition time mom & dad) We couldn't have done it w/out you and are missing our chef, taxi driver, gardeners, kids playmates, book readers, bath-givers and all around extra hands to help in our busy world. We are slowly gaining normalcy or at least trying... after my parents left, my friend Jess came for a few days to meet baby Zack and it was awesome to see her - we miss you auntie Jess! Right after she left, Ben got sick. Then Zack got sick and had such a high fever that it warranted a trip to the ER. Ugh. 4 days later, our friend Shannon arrived for 5 days and she just left early this week.

On top of that we've had so many fun things happen in between, however it's way too much to share here, so Again, I say... whew! It has been amazing to see so many that we love and have such great quality time w/ friends and family, however we are mighty happy to be starting to finally settle into a routine as a family. Zack is now 10 weeks (10 weeks!) old and starting to smile, starting to sleep more (thank god) and seems to be loving his little life on the planet. Ben is in love w/ Zack, almost to a default... we often are afraid that he will smother him w/ his kisses, love, dancing and hugging. It's sweet and downright adorable (most of the time).

So, that brings us up to speed.... random sampling of pictures from the past few weeks below... more regular blogging to come. Promise!
