A colic moment for baby Z

Visit Dad at Work

Mister Man came to visit me today at work. He fussed a bit at the beginning and the end, but all in all it was a nice visit. Mom and I had lunch from black bean deli. Two Cuban sandwiches and plantains...yum! Zachary got to visit with everyone in my suite, but couldn't get to the others (maybe next time). Mom says they are on their way to grandmas now!

Zachary is going to Ikea for the first time today!

I think I'm going to put the baby in his "sling" and walk around Ikea with Daddy today. I'll let you know how it goes when we get back!

Zachary's naps

They seem to be a bit better. Today I've been laying him in his bassinet every time he falls asleep...unless he is wet or hungry he will sleep longer there than in my arms. Maybe this is because he is getting older now:-) Either way, it sure makes my life easier! I've been able to shower (and actually shave my legs), do some laundry, eat lunch and play some RockBand with the girlies!

Today is Friday and Daddy will be home with us this weekend. This is great because poor Justin doesn't get much time with baby JJ during the week. By the time he gets home, we have to do dinner and then the baby starts getting cranky and wants to lay down for the night. We've been giving him his baths at around 8pm each evening so he stays up until 9pm.

The girls have been a HUGE help for me! Today for instance, they started vacuuming without being asked! They have no problem changing baby JJ, folding his clothes, washing his cloth diapers, doing laundry and dishes. Ashlyn even swept and mopped for me this week. We're so lucky to have such wonderful girls!!

Zachary wakes up bright and cheerful!

After a fun day filled with colic, Zachary wakes up today on the right side of the bed. He has already smiled and is alert to what we are all doing around him. I have him in his bouncy chair while I am making waffles for breakfast and he is just content to be watching us. I do have to change his scenery every so often but he is happy today which is the most important!

Yesterday was plain awful!! hehe

Zachary cries on our walk :-(

We have been going on walks like twice a day since we got home from the hospital and today he starts screaming halfway through it! He was just tired because after a few minutes he fell right to sleep. Now we're home, he ate and now is laying in my lap...pooping. Life is so tough when you're 3 weeks old!
