"Do It Up"

This is what Joshua requests many nights after his bath.

All Smiles

3 Months Old

This little cutie is 3 months old now. We can't seem to get enough of him and love him to pieces!

Zachary at 2 Months Old

ZT on his 2 month birthday

Zachary is a very sweet baby. He is smiling and interacting more with us now. We are totally head over heels for him! Joshua truly loves his little brother and can often be found kissing him and yelling "love you Acky" as he runs by. Our feeding issues are getting a little better, but that is mostly because I am pumping and feeding him bottles throughout the night. I don't know whether it's my milk supply or his inefficiency at getting my milk out. Joshua likes to exclaim that Acky eats "all the time". So he is not awake and eating all night long every night now, and I am getting a little bit more rest. His longest stretch at night has been 4 hours between feedings. The doctor says the norm right now is 4 to 6 hours at night, so he is in the normal range....just on the low end. I'm praying we can reach the higher end of that sometime soon. I haven't had more than 3 hours of sleep at a time since the beginning of November. Nonetheless, I am trying to enjoy and soak up every single second of time I get with my littlest man, even all hours of the night. Those are our special times with just the two of us! Here are his stats at 2 months old:

Weight: 10 lb 11.5 oz (25th percentile)

Height: 22.5 in (25th percentile)

Head Circumference: 15.25 in (25th percentile)

Catching up on 2010......

Here is a short summary of our activities the last few months of 2010......written in January 2012......I'm a slacker.  I have a hard time making myself sit down and write.  I also have a hard time moving forward and posting about current things when there was so much I wanted to write about in the past.  Enjoy the recap.
