Zach is now in that stage where he has found his cute little feet. He is constantly holding his toes and when I am feeding him he will hold on to his toes. It makes quite the mess when I am feeding him solids. It gets just every where between him blowing raspberries and sticking his hand in his mouth then touching almost every body part imaginable. It is rather cute though because it keeps him more occupied these days.

Zach is now grabbing on to his toys and holding on to them. The other day I was pulling him out of his car seat and he had a death grip on sponge bob. I could barley get him out of the seat cause sponge bob almost didn't fit through the arm hole. I really like this stage in his life because I can interact with him and he will interact back with me.

I started feeding zach solids awhile ago and well he was really good at eating all of it and not making a mess. Well now im the one that should be wearing a bib not him! He will get a mouth ful of food and stick his fist in his mouth or blow rasberries at you with food! It makes such a mess but its so cute!

Just because

It has been awhile since i have posted a picture of Zach and so there is no point to this post other than isnt he just so adorable?

We want to wish all of you a very merry christmas. I hope you all enjoy your time with your families and if you are traveling be safe!

WRITE A TINY REMEMBRANCE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
I stole this from old old lady of the hills I thought that i would also see what kind of stories that everyone could come up with! If your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment here on my blog with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL CHRISTMAS MEMORY of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. And, if you feel like it, when you're finished leaving your comment, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) with the memories people create....(isn't this fun?)Oh my, I can't wait to read what each of you remember

Choices Choices Choices

So I have had to make a difficult yet easy decision. Where to go on Christmas eve and Christmas day. I have decided to spend both days with Daniel and his family. I feel kind of bad because me sister will be here and well what happened on thanksgiving and all. But shouldn't I do what will make me happy? My dad doesn't understand he doesn't think that I should be away from the family. But you know someday they will be my family and then we will have to decide where to go and what day. My dad just doesn't seem to understand that hey im an adult now I can make my own decisions and I don't need him telling me what I can and cant do anymore. OK sorry im done now.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I was in a hurry this morning on my way to work so I didn't get a chance to write all that should have been said. SO the reason I decided not to go to my family's house for the holidays was because well my dad told me that Daniel wasn't allowed to come with me. Why you ask I have no idea. I had always thought that my dad liked Daniel but for some reason he said that he couldn't come. That is why I am not going there this year.

Busy Busy

I know its been a week since I have posted anything but I have just been so busy. I have been working long shifts and trying to spend my spare time with Zach and Daniel. Not a whole lot has happened lately. I gave my 2 weeks at k-mart and I start my new job on January 9th answering phones and sitting on my ass. I better really start doing them pilates! I have just 1 more gift to get and then im done! Are you all done with your shopping? I wish you all a very merry Christmas. I hope the holidays are good for all of you and that if your traveling be safe.

Teething

Zachs first tooth popped up 2 days ago. At first I was excited cause my baby is growing up and he is getting teeth. Well not so much anymore. Zach is a really happy baby. I mean a really happy baby and well the past 2 days he isn't so happy. There are times that I just want to pull my hair out. I think it would be in my best interest to not have anymore kids just in case im not lucky the next time around and I got one that wakes up more than 2 times a night and that isn't sleeping through the night by 2 months.

Sleeping beauty's

Here is one of the many pictures I plan to post from our weekend at the coast. Daniel and Zach decided that they were going to take a nap. Although Daniel fell asleep a lot faster than Zach did. I had to feed him then burp him and then lay with him and play with him till all of a sudden he passed out. I think this is just one of the sweetest things!

Happy baby

I know I know im slacking on my posts. But i have a good excuss! I was at the coast all weekend. ( ill post about that with pictures later) So on thursday Zach got his 4 month checkup. And well that included shots. Now the first shot came and he whimpered and that was it then the second one came and he screamed and screamed and after the third one he screamed some more and looked at me like how could you do this to me. Well then after we get home i take his clothes off cause he loves being naked and this is what i get. Yes smiles he is just all happy go lucky. So he made me feel like crap for making him get his shots for about 15 mins! He weighs 16.7lbs now he is 25 1/4 in long he is in the 80 percintile

Bath time

Its not very often that I can get a picture of Zachary naked that I don't have to edit. So last night when he was in his new awesome tub I snapped a few shots and this one was my favorite. I let him play in there so long he came out wrinkled all over!

Just a bunch of random things

So since it has been awhile since I have posted anything in while this is just a bunch of random things here. My sister was able to make it up for the funeral. This is the family picture that we took to put on the bulletin of pictures at the funeral. We haven't had one of these taken in about 4 years or so.

Its official my son is fat! Yes fat. I had to take him to the doctor on Monday because he had been sick and he just wasn't getting better at all. Well they weighed him and he weighed 16lbs! He is now in the 85 percentile. Well anyways he has this virus that lasts about 7-10 days well we are on day 10 and its still here!!! I think its gonna last a few more days.

About 2 1/2 weeks ago Zachs big swing took a shit. Now he loves his swings either one of them. But as soon as the big one broke that's the only one that he wanted! So I called fisher price and they sent me a new piece. I got it in the mail 2 days ago so now its working yay!!

OK so I have this ugly dark brown panel in my house and it is just absolutely ugly and I hate it so much cause it makes everything so dark and gloomy. Well I decided to paint. I painted my bathroom. Its a off white cream color. I love it! It is so bright in my bathroom now! I am working on doing the whole house like that. But it will take some time!

You will be missed

As you can see I fixed my problem finally.

Well on Monday after the funeral I was going to post this but since it wouldn't work ill do it now!

The funeral service was really nice. Not to long or over drawn. Although there were a few bloopers in the service. The pastor was mentioning all the grandchildren and well I have a little sister in South Dakota and instead of saying she was my dads daughter he said she was my uncles daughter. That got a few chuckles well from the family that is. My grandma just looked wonderful. She looked just like she was sleeping. I know that she is in a better place. But she will be dearly missed here.

Here is the poem that we passed out to everyone at the funeral.

When tomorrow starts without me and im not there to see if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with rears for me I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me as much as I love you and each time that you think of me I know you'll miss me to but when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand and said my place was ready in heaven far above and that id have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye for all my life id always thought I didn't want to die I had so much to live for so much yet to do it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I though of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had if I could relive yesterday just even for awhile id say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile but then I fully realized that this could never be for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. My heart was filled with sorrow but when I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home when god looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne he said this is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew I promise no tomorrow but today will always last and since each days the same way there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful so trusting and so true and now at last you're free so wont you take my hand and share your life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me don't think were far apart for every time you think of me im right here in your heart.
