tummy to back

"Tummy time" has not been one of Zac's favorite activities of the day. Zac and I have been working on actually getting his head UP. He tends to either cry with his head down or suck his thumb. (pictured below). I decided that we needed some practice. Everyday we have been doing a little tummy time before he ate. (To avoid the spit-up that would be smeared across his face that he would be rubbing back and forth into the blanket.)
I decided that we needed to make being on his tummy something he liked so, the pacifier was put in the mouth and a light up toy with noise was placed at the top of his head. It took a few days to get the idea, but he soon had his head up.

And let me tell you all this practice really has paid off.

Yesterday Zac was doing a little "tummy time" when all of the sudden he decided to roll over. I texted Lee to tell him about it and said "it was probably a one time thing." Boy was I wrong! He would not stop. He has kept on going. I could not even get the camera going before he wanted to roll over. He has gone both ways, but really favors the one way the most.

This is really short, but here is the proof!

Zac's new best friend

Zac gets nervous whenever his little lady friends Heather or Ryann are around, so we have been helping him build is confidence with a little "Mirror Time." It seems like every cool guy gets a boost of confidence from himself in the mirror before heading out.

....and the unrelenting crying shifts really quickly when we throw him in front of bright lights and a mirror.

PS - Does this outfit remind anyone of Dr. Seuss?

Where all your dreams come true.

Who could pass up a trip to one of the happiest places on earth?

We decided to take a quick trip down south and meet up with a bunch of friends (funny because half of them live up north with us) at Disney Land. A special thanks to Jake and Emron (they work at Pixar) for getting us all in.

Zac had so much fun that he only really slept during the first line that we were in. Other then that he was pretty much awake all day. He did awesome in his stroller and front pack. And was happy and good all day. He got to go on some rides with us. He came on the new Toy Story ride in California, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, and the Jungle Cruise (with Lee while I was going on a ride for the second time). By the end of the day he was tired! At about eight he had had enough of all the lights and noise. Luckily they have a great mothers lounge there and I got him fed and sleeping. We stayed a little longer for the fireworks and some rides under the moon light. It was a really fun day!

It was great with our group we were all able to get "baby passes" for each ride. So, many times you could go on the ride twice and not have to wait in line. It was the best having so many willing babysitters.

The Group

Everything was decorated for Halloween.
It was really fun to see everything decorated a little
different then it always is.

This was when we were in line for Toy Story.
Zac was totally out and so cute.

Boy was it HOT! Zac did not like really wearing a hat,
but it was a must.

These are Zac's little friends. They are a week apart.
Westin on the left, Macy in the middle, and Zachary on the right.
They were all such good babies. It will be fun when they can really
play with one another.

We really liked the candy "corn."

First BYU Game

The next day we headed to San Diego for the BYU vs SDSU game.
We had a fun time there.
I think there were more fans there for BYU then for SDSU!
We were very happy with the outcome of the game.
We like it when BYU wins.
(Especially if we drove hundreds of miles to see the game.)

Isn't he so cute!!

and more of the group.

We always love seeing cousin and buddy Brad.

Zachary was a champ for the entire trip. We had a lot of fun. And he was so good for the drive down and back. He only woke up once for a feeding both ways, otherwise he slept. And then even slept through the nights both times! We sure love this little guy.
