A Few Firsts.....

We have had a few "firsts" over the past few days:

  • On Friday night we surprised Grandma H at school and spent the evening with her. As Grandma was holding Zech, he discovered how to eat his feet. He has been grabbing them for a while and has tried to get them into his mouth, but this was the first time he had succeeded. It was pretty funny! Of course I forgot the camera! :o(
  • On Saturday night, we left Zech for the first time (well sort of--we left him before when he was a lot younger and pretty much slept the entire time, but never since he has been older and a little more interactive). His Auntie Michelle and Uncle Jason and his cousins took care of him for a few hours while John and I went to a Stag/Stagette. Yes I was a little worried, because he has been fussy lately. He must have done really well as they offered to do it again! :o)
  • On Sunday we went to church and we made it through the whole service without having to leave. No he did not sleep, he was wide awake, but he was content and he drank his bottle and we heard the whole sermon---Yeah!
  • On Tuesday Zech had his first play date. We got together with Pauline and her little boy Matthew (who is exactly a month older). They don't really do anything--I think it is more entertaining for the moms! Zech did get to try out some new toys though. He especially loved the Jolly Jumper. Pauline took pictures, so I will post them when I get them from her.
  • Today (Wednesday) we went to our first Strollercize class. It was great! I haven't ran so much since before I was pregnant. What a great workout (I can hardly walk now)! Zech was great too. He slept and then he woke up and just stared at the lights. I went with my friend Megan and her little boy David. Both of our boys did really well! Can't wait for next weeks classes!

Hi, Vanessa!! It's wonderful to see pictures of your precious baby boy and you guys as a family. He looks exactly like his dad! What a great idea to save these memories and share them through a blog. I'll be visiting often!

Don't they grow up so quickly?!?! I've been trying to introduce Helayna to her feet but her belly is much too chubby to get them any where near her mouth. :) Soon, I'm sure, she'll be sucking on them.
I'm so glad you went to the strollercize class - sound fun! And I'm also glad that you've been hanging out with friends! They make such a difference to our days, don't they?!
