My many smiles

I started smiling lots at 7 weeks oldand sometimes just have an impish grin

Mommy turned me into a "Zachicorn"

Life is good!

Special times with Mommy and Daddy

I'm so happy I chose my Mommy and Daddy

because they love hanging out with me.

You'll find me in various places...
On Mommy's lap

On her shoulder
Sucking on her finger

Out for a walk

Or in a baby carrierAnd in bed after nursing
I do like to snuggle with Daddy

And hang outside with him, too!

My Baby Shower

My Grandma Bonnie hosted a baby shower for me after I was born.

My brother Jacob helped my Mommy open the presents.
I slept through most of it.

But woke up to say "Thank you" to everyone.

And hang out with my Grandma Bonnie

Some of Mommy's friends came to the party.
Tonya has a baby in her belly. I hope we become friends.

The ladies played silly games

Here I am with my Great Aunt Gale

Playing around with my Big Brother Jacob

My big brother Jacob likes to play with me.
We play in my babygym

He likes to hold me and take pictures with me

He was especially excited to hang out with me and our cousins
But sometimes I need my space

He sure does love me. And I love him, too.
But sometimes he doesn't realize how little I am,
and he plays a little rough

He even scares me sometimes
I know he doesn't mean to hurt me.
I can hardly wait until I
can chase him around

Meeting my Grandparents

I met my Grandparents this weekend!

Grandma Felice and Grandpa Barry traveled all the way from Chicago
to visit me and my brother. They are my Daddy's Mommy and Daddy.

My Grandpa Stan came out to visit too. He is my Mommy's Daddy
and he lives near Grass Valley, CA.
My Grandma Carol was here, too. She is my Grandpa Stan's
wife. We had a sweet moment together here.

My First Bath

I took my first bath today with Mommy

Jacob wanted to join me in the bath

Playing around

I went in my play gym for the first time today

Oh my, that's a little overwhelming. I think I'll stay in bed

Are you still here taking pictures?

I think I'll take a nap

Sleepy Baby

For the first few weeks, I just slept almost all the time.

I like to sleep on my Grandma, too.

9 days old

I'm starting to get used to this baby body

But I still like to sleep lots

I can hold my head up for a few minutes

And this is my favorite spot

My Twin Cousins are WAY Cool!

I have twin cousins, named Evan and Cameron.
They came to meet me today.
They are only three weeks older than my big brother, Jacob.

Cameron really likes babies and he was so excited. But Evan seemed a bit nervous and almost dropped me after Grandma took this picture. Good thing Mommy was right there!

All of these pictures makes me sleepy...
