Like father like son!

Zander is now 9 weeks old and growing like a weed. He is now wearing 3-6 months onesies and sleepers but in 0-3 month pants however they are short on him but they are so big they fall off his waist. Just like Tony - tall, skinny and no butt! :-)

Below is a picture I took of him last night. He was starring at the TV and what was on - football. As you can imagine Tony is excited that Zander already likes football already. Just wait until basketball begins and Zander will be cheering with his Mom.

Tony and I are heading out of town tomorrow for our annual camping/canoe trip. My Mom is taking Zander for the night, first night without Mr. Z man. It should be fun, although very chilly as the high for the day is suppose to be 63.

Look at Zander's hippo hat that he got from Cousin Owen! He loves it. As you can see it won't fit for much longer, so luckily the next few days will be chilly so he will be able to wear it.

Zander's two month appointment was this past Monday. He was 13 pounds and 23.5 inches long. He got some shots and did pretty well. He mostly liked the rotovirus drink - it's sugary. He kept wanting more, so he got the Vosberg sweet tooth!

(Baptism)

Look at those cheeks!

Zander has been busy the past few weeks. Wow!! I have many picutures to show, so click on the link below to view all of them - baptism, Kalli's visit, Zander's favorite sling and Zander in the bumbo. The best one is Zander in the bumbo with his sandals and shades on ready to go to State Street with the family!

Ok, so yes we put Zander in the bumbo chair. I found out that it is a little to early to put him in it, but as you will see in the pictures he loved it! So we will hold off on putting him in there for another month or so.

The baptism went well, Zander got a little fussy during it, but it was due to a wet diaper.He hates having a wet diaper. So we go through more than the average amount of diapers.

We had a great time while Kalli was here. She and my Mom even woke up in the middle of the night to feed Zander, so we were able to get a full nights rest. We miss Aunt Kalli already, but Zander is looking forward to her next visit in November when everyone is coming home for Thanksgiving. So Zander will have fun keeping an eye on all the boys! We can't wait to see Owen (Kristen's son) and Zander interact because by then Owen will be eight months and Z-man will be five months.

Zander is just beginning to roll onto his side every once in awhile and he is starting to grab at toys although not quite holding on to them yet.

This past weekend Tony's Mom came up and babysat while we went to the Brewer Game on a coach bus! It was really fun and we are the parents who didn't call home. We knew he was being well taken care of. Tony's brother and his wife were at the same game so we were able to meet up with them a few times.

Now this weekend, we are going camping with friends up north with Zander. We are looking forward to our first family trip away from home. I think I may need to rent a truck to haul all the stuff I plan on packing. I am not sure how all of it is going to fit in our car, let alone the trailer we are staying in! It should be interesting.

I am done with school for the next few weeks! If you can believe it, I got A's in both classes! So since I did so well I am going to take three classes this fall that way I graduate sooner. Yes, it sounds hectic just thinking about it but it will just be overwhelming for a few months. So Tony will be Super Dad!

I go back to work September 8th, I am looking forward to getting back into a routine.

Ok, I think that is enough of an update for now!

Isn't he adorable?

Here is a new picture of Zander. No new tricks except he is smiling and cooing more and more every day. We have his baptism this weekend and his Aunt Kalli is coming to visit on Friday from Portland. He is getting really excited to finally meet her. Everytime I tell Zander about Aunt Kalli he starts moving his legs and arms! :-) So it should be a fun week.

I keep forgetting to post this for readers who are around the Madison area. We have a good friend, Rod Timmerman who just opened a towing company in Madison - Liberty Towing. So if you are stranded, have an accident or lock your keys in your car. Here is who you should call. All the other towing companies will not give you the service Rod and Simon will! :-)
