Take me out to the ball game

Grandpa (AKA "crappa") took Zachy to his first baseball game last night - Angels/Baltimore. Zach was excited the whole week and kept asking "are we going to the baseball game today?" Well, yesterday finally came and everyone had a blast (me and Uncle A went too). We actually made it to the bottom of the seventh, with Zach cheering and clapping in 6th and 7th innning, "let's go angels." Zachy didn't watch too much of the game as he was busy eating all the healthy treats (lalalems (m&ms), cotton candy, chocolate malt, popcorn, and pizza) grandpa got him in between innings... We all had a great time and the seats were awesome. The great Baltimore Orioles won 5-0. Thanks for taking us to the game!!! Oh, one more thing. Zach woke up 6 times last night. You think he had too much sugar at the game?

Divas

Tonight, we had the pleasure of listening to the the music of Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Cher and Donna Summer. They even pulled me up on the grass to dance, so embarrassing.







I love this picture - they are both already ignoring me.

Who's Who?

I keep thinking they look so different and then I recap the night in photos and realize it looks like the same kid, just a different outfit.

Uncork the Cure

My friend Michelle invited us down to San Diego to an event called Uncork the Cure, to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It is such a fun event with unlimited food, wine, music and a fun crowd. Josh and I went together last year but only one of us could go this time around. It was my first time out since Jeremy was born. It was really my first time out since I got pregnant ... It was a really nice night. Thank you Michelle, for including me once again! This year, in addition to seeing our friend Kip from UC Santa Barbara, we also got to meet Tenley, Roberto and Ali from the "acclaimed" Bachelor.

2 Months

I can actually make Jeremy smile. And like Zach , he is a big fan of smiling and laughing in front of the mirror. Laughter really does wonders for the soul doesn't it? To see your child's face light up like that is priceless.

We spent some time at my parents house this month and enjoyed some sun, wine and swimming. It was really nice and very much appreciated. Zach pretty much has everyone wrapped around his finger but especially my mom. We woke up one morning and she was still upstairs. In an effort to wake her up, he stood at the bottom of the stairs called for Nana a few times and followed up by clapping his hands. It was really funny, I had to ask him to do it again.


Jeremy and Zach already remind me so much of each other. Both, very sweet babies, very cute, quite needy, love attention. I swear Jeremy feels twice the size that Zach did. I will know for sure at our 10 week check up next week but I can tell you that he has three times the number of rolls/wrinkles/ and folds than Zach did. I'm really so in love with both of them.

My little Rocky Balboa

Zachy's been having issues with his bed lately. For the past month or two, he's been appearing in our room, standing at the edge of the bed. Although he does not say anything while he's standing near our bed, we still wake up. I get out of bed and bring him back to his bed. He then wakes up a few hours later, and yells "daddy." My heart races; I get up and go to his room. He says one word - "couch." I pick him up, throw him on the couch, then I go back to bed. As I said, this has been happening for a few months - maybe 4 times in a week until......

Last night, Zach was walking to bed and walked right into the bed post, hitting just below the eye. He went down hard and crying. It was pretty scary. I called Randi and she brought ice and a cold knife. Zach didn't want us to put ice on him so we kind of held him down and Randi placed the knife on him. Apparently, a cold knife when applied to something that is about to swell keeps the swelling down. Nice job Ran! We managed to keep Zachy's eye from getting swollen. The funny thing that came out of last night was that when Zachy's saw blood on the paper towel, he started laughing. He then said he wanted to show his friends his boo boo. He quickly seemed proud to have a bruise under his eye. Another funny thing about last night was when Ran was applying the knife to the bottom of Zach's eye, he said, "mommy, don't cut me." Zach really thought Ran was intentionally going to cut him. Today, Zachy was very proud to have this bruise under his eye, walking around with a box of bandaids. Here are some pics of my little Rocky Balboa.

By the way, Zachy didn't show up in our room last night. I wonder why...




This is how we found Zach one night sleeping.

7 Week Photo Shoot

I had a happy guy on my hands yesterday.

First "Official" Outing

I'll spare you the details of how much we love concerts on the lake since I have been talking about it for three years. I will, however tell you that the longer we live here the more fun they get. Literally, every person we know in Irvine was there. Technically, Jeremy's first outing was just 9 days after he was born at the first concert of the summer on BUT we forgot to put the memory stick in the camera. This will have to do!
