8 Weeks

 (He has a look of disgust in this pic. I don't think he's a fan of a camera in his face.)

Zane had his 8 week appt. yesterday and unfortunately got a few shots. His face turned bright red right when she gave him the first shot. He was so upset for just a few minutes and then fell asleep quick. It was so sad to see him in so much pain.

He weighed 14 lb 7 oz and 23.5 " long. (85th-97th%)

About Zane:

-A couple nights ago was the first night in his crib and he did fabulous. 

-He was sleeping through the night for about a week and then he decided he had enough of that. So for a few days he was waking up a couple times. But luckily he falls back asleep quickly.

-He loves to eat and is good at it.

-His burps could compete with Derek's.

-Bath time is his favorite. He just smiles and kicks away.

-As of right now, his eyes are a darker blue.

-Also as of right now, his hair looks strawberry blonde. 

-He just started wearing 6 month clothes.
-He likes to scowl at us.

-He likes the binky. Especially the basketball one :)

-8:00 every night he gets fussy. So hopefully he grows out of that soon.

-He loves car rides.

-The swing is a miracle worker. 

-Right now he has a cold along with me. No fun. So the boogie sucker is our best friend.
-And he is as adorable as can be!
We love baby Zane so much!!

He was staring into his Daddy's eyes. It was adorable. Derek was trying to get him to smile, but it didn't work too well.
(His poor band aids from his shots :( )

Blessing Day

 We blessed Zane on Sunday, the 4th.

Derek gave him such a great blessing. He got emotional before he even started to speak. (Just to let you know, before Zane was even born, Derek was stressing out about the blessing. Poor guy.)

I LOVE having family so close, especially for occasions like these. 

We snapped a pic with my family and meant to get one with Derek's family later but forgot (Shauna had to hurry and get food ready).

My Mom is becoming quite the photographer.

She also is quite the seamstress and crocheter (you all know that though). She made his adorable little outfit, the blanket, and the booties.

 I love his little bow tie!

 Future kissing cousins.

 We had lunch at Shauna's afterwards. It was a great feast.

4 Weeks

This little squirt is 4 weeks old and we can't get enough of him!

It's crazy how you can love something so small, so quick. Even when they wake you up in the night!

 

I took him to the doctors yesterday because I noticed his eye was getting goopy. Well he has a plugged tear duct and a mild infection. So I am hoping both go away quick!

He weighed 11 lbs 14 oz. (No wonder my back has been killing me! 

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Little Zaners was our baby calf for Halloween. 

Shauna found the costume for him and we think it was perfect! 

We should have dressed up as farmers, but didn't.

We ended up going to visit Derek's G&G and spend some time with them.

Here's to many many more Halloweens!!
