So I got that goin’ for me; which is nice

Well Zach's a week old and it's officially official that he is loved. Not only by us, but all of our family and all of our friends. If he understood the difference between love and poop right now, he would be extremely appreciative....some day.

We have had a lot of calls, and a lot of visitors and we (and some day Zach) really appreciate all of it! Last night Rachel and Katie came over...


It was great having them over as sometimes we feel a little cooped up in the house. More importantly (to my stomach) they brought us dinner and an extra dinner to heat up. It's also nice for Kelly to get a "breather" with her friends (who happen to enjoy holding babies) from the seemingly endless nursing.

Kathi came over this morning on the train and cleaned our house and helped with the baby. She's going to spend the night in order to get the completely amazing experience of cleaning a poop-blasted diaper at 3am...because she really misses that part of having babies...(I know the moms reading this are all saying "yes, we do miss that...it's a precious moment!" right now...well you can come over any time to change diapers)

We gave him a sponge bath which, from the picture below, you can tell is right up there on his list of things to do in a day.


This afternoon, Karen visited and brought us dinner (which I am eagerly awaiting eating once I finish this entry). It was very nice of her to visit and meet Zach and nicer to bring us food!


Other than that, Zach's days are pretty normal:

1. Wake up from long night's sleep, then promptly fall asleep again.

2. Eat breakfast; make sure to spill as much as possible for own amusement.

3. Play.

4. Let dad put me in crazy poses for no apparent reason.

5. Eat; spill.

6. Do cute things like wink at mommy to make her think you understand what she's saying.

7. Wave night-night to mom and dad and get ready to start fresh the next day.

And so it goes.

We have plenty of other visitors booked to meet Zach so we are looking forward to a fun weekend!

Fun Facts:

• Zach has now been living at home for a week and the time has (unfortunately) gone by SO fast.
• Dad told me that he sucked his middle two fingers, and I did too so once again, proof that Zach is my son...Kelly, you're falling behind.
  
• We have not forgotten about Token with Zach being one of his new "pack leaders." Token is doing great with Zach giving him kisses on the feet when he cries and letting us know when he needs to be changed by sniffing his diaper. Yesterday, he got a long walk, a bath and a tooth-brushing (which he loved as much as Zach loved his bath).
