COWABUNGA!

I know Halloween is not for a few more days, but I could not resist showing off Zachary in his Halloween costume! He wore it to the ward party on Saturday and was SO SO cute! (I'll post more pictures from the "trunk or treat" later.)

Lee had picked out what Zac was going to be in May-yes, before he was even born! I don't think he had to think twice about it. (I might have been the one who thought twice about it.)
How was I going to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume for a 2 month old? Well, somehow I pulled it off...even with pieces that were removable for easy diaper changing, car seat riding, and sleeping. (I thought I did pretty good for not being much of a seamstress.)

Introducing...

Leonardo
(aka: Zachary)

Look at that high kick!

Zac as of lately LOVES to stand.
He has the strongest legs ever!

He looks like a true leader of the pack here...huh?

Dad even made him some katanas.
How cool is that?

He was one tired turtle.
(This picture shows off how everything comes off.
Oh, even the blue bands on his legs come off.)

He is just so much fun!
We think he is such a cutie.

Turtle Power!

It's Halloween Time!

Look at who just loves Halloween.

2 months

I have yet to post the stats for little Zachary. We went to the doctor the same day that Will & Sara came, so we got a little busy. I was worried that with three shots he might not be able to show his aunt and uncle what a good baby he is, but he was a champ! And come to find out Sara gives those shots for work! I couldn't even tell you really what he got (don't worry they discussed it all with me before doing it), and she knew everything. I was impressed.

10/08/09 - 2 months (+3days)

Weight 13 lbs = 77%
Height 24 in = 83%
Head 15 5/8 in = 38%

Here are a few pictures of Zac and what he has been up to as of lately.

It's hard to catch a picture when he has his head all the way up.
By the time the camera clicks he is always coming down.
This is the best shot I could get.
"Tummy time" has been harder lately. He used to love it.
We are working on that!

If you put anything in his hands, it goes directly to his mouth.
(Or at least his thumb does.)
He is a thumb sucker!

I was looking at him the other day in his car seat and he just looked so big.
He is growing fast!

He LOVES his hands. Many times I find him with them together or in his mouth!
I just loved this picture of him.

will & sara

Look at who came and visited us!

Yup, my little brother, Will, and his cute wife, Sara! We were so excited to finally meet our new sister and aunt. We sure enjoyed having them come.
Here is a little run down of some of the fun we had while they were here.

Some fun in the city of San Fransisco.
We stopped at the Golden Gate.
We were lucky be there right when the Blue Angels were
practicing for the airshow happening the next day.
Unfortunately Zac and I spent most of the time in the car.
(It was a little loud for him.)
I did manage to quickly snap a picture for "proof" that we were there. As you can see it was a little sunny and windy. And I only had a few seconds before I needed to cover his ears. But lucky for us Will was able to get a picture of the Blue Angels while him and Sara were on the bridge.

Then we did a little more site seeing.

Later that night we put our name in the lottery for Wicked tickets.
Will ended up winning some.
So we were very excited for them!

We also went to dinner at CPK.
This was Zachary's first time at a restaurant.
Other then the fact that I have spit-up all over me. He did really well.

Saturday our plan was to go into the city for the Airshow. But after the experience the day before and it being so loud we decided to just do some random things in the city.

But first we started off by having a little fun at home.
Zac really wanted to were his crocs, so Lee decided to let him.
(And yes, we loved the high socks.)

Then we headed to Golden Gate Park for a picnic lunch.
It was a little cooler then we thought it was going to be, but still fun.

We stopped at the beach to get some more pictures. It was a good thing that we did not try for the airshow because as you can see the fog came in and the canceled part of the Saturday show.
We also stopped by Pier 39 and had Will and Sara experience the "fun" there.
We also let them experience some traffic in the city that we all don't want to ever repeat!
But we did make sure we stopped for some frozen yogurt later that night to make up for it.

Some fun with Zachary.

Some fun at the Jelly Belly Factory.

I had never been to the Jelly Belly Factory, so I made it a must when Will and Sara came.
We had a good time going on the tour
and were amazed at how much it takes to make one jelly bean!
We sure enjoyed the samples and even some belly flops.

Thanks Will and Sara for coming!
We had a great time.
Please come again!

So spoiled.

We had a blast!
More pictures to come!

sleep

Zac slept from 9-6:30.

Love it.

I have been known for my love of sleeping.

As a kid I would pretend to be sleeping all the time. Many times I would just lay down where ever I was and sleep.

In high school I would take a shower at night and go to bed around 9:30-10:00. (Ann and I would stress out if we were any later then 10 on getting to bed!) In the mornings I would wake up to my dad saying "scripture time" at 6:30. And at 6:50 you could find me getting back into bed until 7:05. Then I would get ready so fast, and be picking up Wendy for school at 7:20.

I would also be known for taking three(+) hour naps on Sunday. Sometimes even at Wendy's house! (We took many naps while hanging out.)

At BYU I did not get as much sleep as I would have liked, but I got more then most. Jenna and I always were the "party poopers" always going to bed. (Ear plugs were a must!)

In the BYU locker room you could find me on the couch, asleep.

In the Student Athlete Center you might have found me taking a "cat nap."

I might have even taken turns with Jenna in class on taking naps and notes.

When I was student teaching the teacher once asked me if I had a night job. I told her "no." I found myself always falling asleep observing. She thought that was why I was always so tired. Nope, I just really wanted to be taking a nap.
(Oh, once I even felt my eyes rolling to the back of my head when I was talking to a 2nd grade student. He was like "what is wrong with your eyes?")

When we would go on track trips I would always have good intentions on doing homework on the airplane, but I was ALWAYS out before we even took off. I was always so bummed because I would load my backpack with books. The airport just makes me tired!

I also might have fallen asleep the first time I hung out with Lee.

When we got married I had to teach Lee the joys of sleeping in. And taking naps. I sometimes found him sleeping longer then me!

So...I hope that Zachary wants to keep this up!

It sure makes mommy happy.
