Just thought I should post for our few loyal fans, as it has been a week! :-)
We had a fabulous quiet weekend! It was our first weekend without guests in about a month...we have loved having the company, but it was nice to have our house to ourselves. We thought we were in for a nice, lazy relaxing weekend, but who are we talking about here people...we don't sit still! We got a wii on Friday...and boy is that thing dangerous...we've owned it for 3 days and I think we are officially addicted! We didn't leave the house at all on Saturday...we played tennis, golf, bowling, yoga, hula hoop, running, etc...you name it, we played it. Then suddenly it was 8pm and we realized we had nothing prepared for dinner ...hahaha! So our Sat. night din din consisted of take out burritos and a bottle of cheap red wine...classy!
Today, in our never ending quest for warmth and sunshine, we left the city and went out to the 'burbs for The Bay Area BBQ Cook Off...the food was amazing and the weather was just how we like it...HOT! To continue the classy theme, we immersed ourselves in the suburban CA BBQ lovin' culture...jean shorts, cut off shorts, Nascar hats, 24oz beers etc. I was definitely overdressed in the below dress and flip flops...hahahaha!
Dale is getting a little more comfortable around Zack...today he held him for a whole 4 minutes! Good job Dale!
Zack's latest: Zack is just growing up so fast! We stare at him and just can't believe he is already almost 4 months old. It is for sure the fastest 4 months of our lives. Tonight Jeff and I were reminiscing about middle of the night wake ups, nursing every 2 hours, and all of the napping Zack used to do. It seems so long ago!
These days our little guy eats about every 3 hours during the day, hates napping, but luckily for us sleeps through the night most of the time (from 7 or 8pm to 5:30 or 6am). It is amazing how rested I feel after 5-6 hours of sleep in a row!!! We'll see if these good sleep patterns continue when we start crib training him next week.
What else? Oh, the talking and cooing and giggling is just amazing and melts our hearts. He is so silly, and curious and just really animated these days. He likes to grab for anything and everything, and if he can hold onto it, it goes straight into his mouth. He loves watching the dogs and laughing when they come close to him. He is definitely a chatter box like his Mommy!
Yes, the sun and the moon revolve around little Zack in our household and we think that's just fine! Motherhood is all that everyone said it would be and more...and everyone is right, you can't really explain it until you are in it. Suddenly the things that used to be so important to us just aren't as important anymore. It sounds cheesy but life has more meaning for us now. I have become much more mellow, and much more flexible in my day to day life as a Mom. Not sure how I got off on that tangent, but it's true. Life is really great for us right now and we feel really lucky to have you all as a part of it!

I think you forgot to mention to everyone Zack's new favorite word, which Uncle Gary has taught him!
Great post and well said. Life finally has answers once you have a child. It all come together.
Best of luck!
