Hooray!!!

I'm going to knock on wood before typing this... {knock, knock}
We FINALLY have a baby that is SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!
Yes, our little angel, has decided that he will allow his parents some much needed sleep! Zachary has slept through the night (STTN) for 3 days in a row now. Let me tell you, it has been amazing. Last night, for instance, he went to sleep at 9:30pm and woke up for a bottle, at 6:30am.
This has been a long road to arrive at this glorious destination... we are used to getting up: 2... 3.... and sometimes, 4 times with him at night! (I know, it's CRAZY!)
If I heard one more Mom tell me that "their baby
has been sleeping through the night since they brought them home"... I could've slapped them :)
I had a feeling that my baby wouldn't be a good sleeper... my Mom haunted me with the fact that I didn't STTN until I was over a year old!
I am so sorry Mom, I now know how terrible that was!
Please say a little prayer for us that this will continue... Matt and I have really enjoyed our sleep the past few nights! :) We'll keep you updated!

A Dose of Adorable...

This picture is specifically for Daddy... Matt bought him this Jaguar E-Type before he was even born! Trying to instill the love of Jags at an early age!

Where are you driving to, Zachary?!!?

My little boy is growing up so quickly....

Who could resist that face?!

He loves his cute puppy... Thanks Jennifer, Andre and Madeline!

He loves to EAT his puppy!

All smiles :)

Mommy's Mr. Cool... is clearly too cute for words.

Ohhh, I just love his furry boots!


"Little Buddy!" :)

Interesting Article...


(You can click on the article to enlarge it)

What an article. So true.

I love how this writer tells it like it is - so straightforward and with such wit.

My favorite line: "Keep your snit to yourself." :)

My Two Boys

Zachary loves spending time with his Daddy... :)
This past Sunday, I laid down for a few hours due to not feeling well and Matt took care of Zachary. When I came downstairs, I walked all around the house looking for them and when I peaked out the front window, this is what I saw....
My two boys.
This put the biggest smile on my face!
Matt was preparing his truck for our upcoming Land Rover camping/trail trip next weekend (which is why he took the front fender off temporarily, haha) and decided to bring Zachary outside with him. Zachary had been hanging out with Daddy and fell asleep sitting in his seat on the driveway. It was the cutest.thing.ever.

So peaceful... hanging out with Daddy.

I can just picture them, in a few years, tinkering outside with cars... they'll be best buds :)

Later that night, Matt pulled out his Playstation, (which hasn't been touched in almost a year) and played a racing game. Zachary was soooo into the game too!

Both boys are in deep concentration...
"Mommy... you're messing us up!"

Not ready for bed, yet...

After getting ready for bed, Zachary came downstairs to say goodnight to his Daddy. He was not ready for bed, AT ALL! He was in such a talkative mood and just wanted to laugh and play :)
He's such a happy boy!


We love this baby <3

Comfy Kangaroo Pouch :)

This was wayyyyy too cute not to share!

One day last week, Zachary was being a little fussy (which doesn't happen very often) and he wouldn't sit anywhere but my arms. I had so much to do around the house... and I was trying to fold laundry and put away clothes, so it became a little frustrating. I decided that I'd try out our little carrier and see if he liked it.


To say that he liked it would be an understatement! He hung out in it and let me walk all over the house, not phased one bit - for about an hour! I knew he was getting very sleepy when I took the first photo, but when I realized that he'd fallen asleep, I couldn't resist taking a few more!

He was so content just being close to me :)


What a sweet boy.


hehe, can you see the drool?! He was in a deep sleep!


We'll definitely be using the carrier again!

Family Time - SuperBowl Sunday

We visited with my Dad, Marie, Katie, Wyatt, Grandma and Grandpa last weekend at Dad's house and Zachary was, of course, a hit :)
He loved the attention - especially from his Nana!

Here's my Dad (Poppie) and Zachary spending some time together

Zachary was having a blast with Nana!

What a happy baby! :)

All of the excitement = this :)
Could he be any more precious?
