More cute ones as promised...

Here are a few more close up face pictures and even a few where we were able to catch the cute little smile. He is truly smiling all the time and then we get the camera out and he immediately stops so getting even the few smiling pics that we did was quite the feat.

Zach is sitting in his Bumbo seat and petting Maggie for the first time. She was very tolerant even as he grabbed a clump of her hair and pulled.

Bethany Beach, Delaware

We just got back from a week on the beach with family and we had a blast. Zach enjoyed all the love, attention, and new arms to hold him and he even got to sit on the beach under the umbrellla for a few hours every now and then. Andy and I realized this week that this was probably going to be our last relaxing beach vacation. Next year I am sure we will be chasing him as he runs towards the ocean. Enjoy the pictures (believe it or not there are more to come later!)

Princeton Trip

We went to Princeton, New Jersey for a few days so that Andy could attend a conference. Zach and I hung out and visited with friends. It was his first over night trip and he did great!

More Pictures

I just downloaded some pictures off of my sister's camera and they had some cute little Zach faces so I posted a few.

We took Zach to the movies and he did great...he slept the whole time and was still asleep when we got home...again proving to be completely portable and able to go with the flow:

Zach's first baseball game! We took the metro to DC to see the Nationals play the Tigers...Zach of course did great. He was his usual cute, happy self even after a morning of painful shots and later on he slept through all of the screaming and cheering and charmed everyone on the metro all the way home.

With Aunt Malia...Zach is popping his head out of one of his favorite places...his cozy little sling.

Finally Some New Pictures

We just got home from Zach's 2 month check up...he is 12lbs and 23 inches long. His Dr. said he is growing and developing very well. The only down side was that he had to have 5 shots. That was a very traumatic experience, but mostly for me. Zach and I both cried, but Andy stayed strong. He has been sleeping all afternoon though and seems to not be in any pain at this point. As I was downloading these pictures I realized I didn't have any of his new wonderful social smile. We have been video taping all of his smiles, giggles, and cooing sounds but haven't gotten any great regular pictures yet. I will be working on that. We leave for two different consecutive trips on Sunday and will be gone for two weeks. We are going back up to Princeton to visit friends and meet some more new babies and then to Bethany Beach for a week. We are very excited and will hopefully have some great pictures of Zach's first time on the beach when we get home. Here are a few from the last few weeks though.

We decided sleeping was more important than packing:
