10 Weeks old

People have been asking me to put more pictures on the blog so here they are.

This is a picture of Zach and Mark's sister Becca. She came and stayed with us for the weekend a couple weeks ago.
Zach Loves his crib mobile.

Smile

I finally got a little bit of a smile out of Zach for a picture.

Cutie Bug

Zach is getting so big!

After seeing a few pictures of Raegan and Sadie Zach sure looks big. We weighed him the other day and he weighs about 10 pounds. He still is being a stinker about sleeping but he is getting better. We were told the swaddling really helps and some friends in our ward sugested getting a swaddle wrap blanket. Ever since we got one he is sleeping so much better at night and he will actually sleep in the bassinet for a couple of hours. Before we had to hold him all night long.
Zach also loves bath time. He will often calm down when we take off his cloths and diaper and just let him lay there. We don't like doing that for very long because he usually soils everything!

I just love sleeping pictures....maybe it is becuase it seems like those sleeping moments don't come very often. :)
I just thought this picture was kind of goofy.

Little Cowboy

This outfit used to be Marks when he was a baby. I think the shirt is cute but the little shorts are so hilarious. It makes his bottom look HUGE. I was laughing so hard when I put this outfit on. Apparently Zach was feeling pretty bad that I was laughing at him.


I love these pictures of Zach punching Mark in the eye. He always sticks one of his arms straight up in the air. It is kind of funny. He will just leave it in the air for awhile before moving it and bending it.

Zach sure loves playing with his Daddy.



Zach has been so fun. He is sleeping better and crying less. HURRAY. We love him. I never realized how wonderful it would be to have a little baby. It is hard work but the joy definitely outways the hardness.

Our Perfect Little Baby

Just looking at this cute little baby.... You wouldn't believe he spends most of his time doing this...

Zach has been crying so much lately. It is driving me nuts. I feel so bad when I don't know what is wrong and I can't help him. It is also hard because I don't get much sleep. The only time he will sleep is ( I have to feed him to get him to sleep first) when we are holding him walking and bouncing, in the swing ( he has to be a sleep first, he won't just fall asleep in it) and in the baby carrier. I hope this little stage will pass by quickly. Hopefully it was just a bad week and he will get better. But despite all of that he is a joy. I love being a mom and careing for him. I guess i can handle all the crying. It is worth it.

Pictures

On Monday we took Zach to the zoo. He had lots of fun. After about 30 minutes of screaming we gave him a bottle and then he slept for the rest of the outing. We had lots of fun though. This zoo we went to is free so it was fun to get out of our apartment and be outside for a little while. ( although I did a little paranoid about germs. )

My two boys.

I love this pictures of Zach. He discovered his thumb.

We have been faithful about giving Zach tummy time every day. He may not always like it but look how strong his neck is getting.
