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! :-)

Smiley little guy!

Little Zander, is not so little anymore. He is really starting to let me say fill out. He is on the verge of having a beer belly or should I say a formula belly! He has started to smile and coo. So it has been fun to see finally some fun milestones. He loves laying underneath the playmat and he loves his vibrating chair. He sleeps in his crib now, so no more carseat in the crib. What a man! We are still going to the chiropractor but he has shown wonderful improvement he only has about three more adjustments.

I got rid of my maternity clothes this past weekend. I am very excited to be in normal clothes again, so much that I am back to being a shopaholic!

I am almost done with school for the semester so you probably won't see an update for a few weeks.
Here are two pictures from today, showing off his smile!

One month

It's hard to believe Zander is a month old. We are all adjusting well. He sleeps well at night, he is up every 2-3 hours and during the day he doesn't want to miss anything so he sleeps about 2-3 hours.

Zander and I are going to the chiropractor three times a week. He was getting a little fussy and with the delivery we had I thought it might help and it sure has! The doctor is working on his neck and tailbone area. The first visit Dr. Krantz held his head in his palm and gently massaged the top of his neck and you could see instant relief in Zander. He was crying and then as he massaged he stopped crying and you could see he was relaxed.

I sent a letter a few months ago to Coach Crean (IU basketball coach) and we received a letter back from Coach Crean. As you can imagine, I was pretty excited to see a letter from Bloomington, Indiana.

We got pictures taken of Zander a few weeks ago. Krista did such a great job we are having a hard time deciding on which ones to pick! Here is the website and login:

http://www.kristaroderphotography.com/, click on client login (bottom right corner) and type ZV73 as his password. The pictures will appear!

He is beginning to smile when we talk to him. Here is a picture. You can see he is definately growing!

Hope all is well with everyone!

Take care-

The Vosberg Fam

Two weeks old!

Zander is adjusting to life pretty well so far! (knock on wood) He had his two week checkup yesterday and he his tipping the scale at 8 lbs 5 ozs. His cone head has gone down so he is 20.5 inches tall. The doctor assured me he didn't shrink, so that's good. And the problem with his left arm - erb palsy is getting better. I may not have mentioned this but his nerves on his left side were stretched during delivery so his left arm was limp and he didn't really move it much. But now he is moving it just as much as his right and lifting it above his head. So we continue to do stretches and tummy time to strengthen his arm so he can one day be am IU basketball player. :-)

We finally got out of the house on Saturday and showed him off at two different parties. He did really well, so well that at one of the parties they were shooting off fireworks and Zander continued to sleep through them. Getting him use to noise - you know I am not a quiet person so I don't think it will take long for him to sleep through anything!

Last week we met with Krista and had his newborn pictures taken. I can't wait to see them, she had props and everything for him to lay in. Of course we took some nude, and you can just imagine what happened when we took his diaper off - yep, he marked his territory! Once I get the link to the pictures I will foward it on. Stay tuned!

Here is a family picture of us. Enjoy! Yes, I need to get some sun.
