Viddy well, little brother, viddy well

Man it's great to fall asleep at 1030pm and wake up at 300 or sometimes even 400am to hear Zach starting to stir...in my half-conscious drunken-like state of mind, I think "thank you Zach for the four or five hours you gave me" I am so lucky to be able to sleep that entire time; well, all past records have been put to shame because last night, our man slept EIGHT HOURS!....I know! we thought the same thing: there must be something wrong! Nope....nothing wrong. Kelly actually had to wake him up to feed him at six in the morning or he probably would have slept even longer. We were thins close to running outside on the lawn and doing the happy dance. He even napped pretty well throughout the day.

So, now that I've jinxed it, he will be sleeping in stretches no longer than 3 hours this entire week.

Let's take a look at some of Zach's fall collection:

It's been getting a little colder this last week so he's been wearing long sleeves, pants and socks more often. Of course, they still have to be stylin' shirts and shoes...

On Saturday, we visited "Great" Grandpa and Grandma Ralph and Dode because Zach hasn't seen them in a while (and he's gained 7 lbs since then too).

Zach went to Grandma first and immediately passed out in her arms

Clearly, Grandpa is also good at putting Zach to sleep...although just because his eyes are closed doesn't mean he doesn't make any noises

Tanner and Sarah's wedding was on Friday and Zach stayed with Nonie and Papa while Kelly and I enjoyed ourselves...we would have enjoyed ourselves with Zach too, but...it's a different kind of "enjoyment"...

Since it was game three that day, Zach had to wear his team's colors...this is his reaction shortly after Ethier's two-run homer

He has been concentrating more frequently on the TV...probably a habit we're going to regret soon, but who wouldn't let their son watch the Dodgers clinch the NLDS?

We have been gearing up for vacation next week at lake Mojave. We will be gone from Wednesday through Sunday; Kelly just asked me if 65 diapers was enough....I suggested that we just let him run around naked and make where ever he wants....she disagreed.

I'm sure we'll have a fun post after that....and by fun I mean it could be the post in which I explain how we will never take him on another vacation again in his life. In the meantime, here's a little video. Nothing big...just a little chit-chat with the man.

Fun Facts:

• We are now bathing Zach nightly and have moved his bath from the sink, to the actual tub, which saves about 1.5 gallons of water from being splashed onto the counter each night.
• Zach rolled half-way over this morning, from his stomach to his back...Kelly was mad when I almost forgot to tell her because I didn't think it was any big deal.
• He talks to inanimate objects mostly; fans, shutters, leaves...he is constantly confused as to why they don't answer him when he asks them questions.
