Stuff

So here is just some stuff that is going on. 

Zac likes his Baby Einstein.  Here is a picture of him watching it (he will watch for about 15-20 minutes before being done, which is enough for me as well).  As you can see...Ozzy is a big fan as well.  Lately Zac has been watching baby Noah, that is all about animals.  It drives Ozzy crazy. 

We are making progress with Tummy Time.  He still doesn't love to just hang out on his tummy, but it is getting better.  We have been working on rolling from back to stomach the last few days (he has been able to roll from tummy to back for a few months).  He is getting stronger by the day.

 Look at him try to get on his knees.  It is only a matter of time before is up on his hands and knees and ready to crawl.  I fear for that day.  He always like to be moving, once he is mobile, no more sitting around!

 Zac and mom.  We hang out a lot.  Jer takes over when he gets home from work which is very nice!  I get tired.  Being a constant entertainer takes a lot of energy.

 Zac has an activity jumper thingy, he absolutely loves it.  He will spend 20-30 minutes at a time in this thing.  There is so much to do and look at.  The seat spins around and while he is playing he will make a few rotations around it.



And then there is Ozzy.  He shows some interest in Zac.  He will even give him kisses...

The 4 Month mark was quite a changing point in Zac.  He kind of stopped sleeping through the night (Boo!) and started waking up once to eat again.  So...since we are starting to feel the sleep deprivation we started the other night to give him a few ounces of milk with rice cereal mixed in.  The first night he went from 9:30 to 4:30 and then last night he went from 9 pm to 7 am.  YES!  However, that could have been the tylenol...he has been a little sick this week, so we have given him a little tylenol here and there to help when he is really grumpy.

Also, since he hit 4 months, his attitude toward the car seat and stroller has dramatically changed.  He has been doing soooo much better.  It is nice to go on walks and to drive the car again...YAY!

He is starting to grab at things more and more...and he is so aware and alert.  He is always looking around and just taking everything in.  He has started to notice Ozzy more and will sit and watch him for a while.  I am sure they will be great friends...eventually.

Poor Puppy

So our poor puppy has allergies.  Most likely our grass.  His paws get all covered with hives and then he licks them a lot and then they get really irritated.  He is on meds to clear everything up, but still won't leave his feet alone.  Here is our solution...

SOCKS!

Minnesota and Florida

So Zac is a traveling man...over the past month he has been to New Jersey, Minnesota, and Florida.  And next week he is going to Vegas and St. George and then the week after that he is going to visit Grandmas and Grandpas in UT.

So here are some pictures from Minnesota (where we went to visit Amelia).

Why we decided November would be a good time to visit Minnesota is still a question I am asking myself.  It was cold.  We went to see the St. Anthony falls which is in downtown Minneapolis.



We all had to get bundled up because it was chilly out.  Zac doesn't own a coat, so we put him in the thickest sweater he owns and then bundled him up in a fleece blanket.

With a hat.



Love, love, LOOOOVE this picture!

Zac wasn't loving the stroller, so this is the only way Jer could keep him happy.



The rest of the weekend we pretty much just hung out with Amelia and her family.  Lots of fun.   And here are a few more random pictures.

The next weekend, we went to Florida for Jer to attend a continuing ed course.  We went to Clearwater Beach while Jer went to class.  That night we had dinner on the beach.



All this traveling wore everyone out

3 and 4 months

So I realized I didn't post a 3 month picture...well I kinda did but it was mixed into my AWESOME collage.  So here is a 3 month picture.

 And here is 4 months...I know not the best picture.

Tradition

My mom sang this song to me in the bathtub.  Now I sing it to Zac in the bathtub....well at least the chorus and with a bit more enthusiam.  He loves it!

Elf Yourself!!

Love It!

Family Resemblance

That cute baby on the right would be me.  Looks like Zac got my nose and ears for sure.  He has my lovely huge forehead.  He does have a little bit of a perma-glare, which we can attribute to my side of the fam.  He definitely has blue eyes and they are going to stay blue (they get more blue every day), that we can give Jer and his genes props for. 

Have we mentioned that we have named Zac's double chin....it was so big we had to give it a name...it's name is Carl.  LOOK...I had a Carl too!

We Like Him...

We may be completely biased...but this kid is A-dor-a-ble! 

This was his very first real photo shoot.  We spent WAY too much money on these, but oh well.  They are cute.  We won't ever spend that much again. 

T-i-double-guh-err

SOOOOO cute right?!

Everything on the costume seemed to fit all right considering it was for a 0-3 month old...except for the hood.  I mean really what 0-3 month old baby has a head that big?

Drawing the nose and whiskers was not with out protest, but we got them on.  Happy to say they lasted most of the evening.

We took our little Tigger to the stake trunk or treat.  Although he ended up sleeping through most of it.

Jer dressed up as Batman!

"I'm Batman!"

And I...well...let's just say I confused the children



Check out those eyebrows!



But as a family...I would say we were awesome!
