7 months

These are Zane's 7 month photos. He is so Fun. Jaime and I tried to give him a little mohawk. His hair is still too fine, but it was a good laugh.
I really hold Zane's 7 mo. birthday close to my heart because that is the day that Zane said Ma ma for the first time. We were so sure it was going to be Da da. I got lucky; Ma ma came first. Although I didn't get to hear it. I was still so proud.
I was outside cleaning up the backyard and Jaime was in watching Zane, and I guess Zane was looking at me outside through the arcadia door. Jaime said he banged on the door and yelled Ma ma. Jaime was so excited (and let's be honest a little disappointed at the same time) that he hollered at me to come and listen. We tried to get Zane to say it again, but all he would do was smile at me.
It wasn't until 2 days later that he let me hear it with my own ears. Da da came like 5 days later. And now that is all he says especially when he is happy. I only hear Ma ma is he is crying. But I will take what I can get. hehe!!

1st swimming pool experience

These are pics from Zane's first time in a real swimming pool. He LOVES the bath and playing in any type of water. At first he was a little unsure and just wanted Mommy to stay right next to him and hold him. I think it was a little weird for him not to have his feet touching the bottom of something. After a while he got used to it and really enjoyed himself.





He almost had too much fun, because afterward he was knocked out and we couldn't even wake him up if we wanted to. I wish nap time was always that easy! hee hee

6 months/ 1/2 birthday!!!

Zane is gettiing so big now. He is pulling himself up on things. He really loves to explore.





This is one of my favorite photos of Zane in his Daddy's hat. He love putting on his Grandpa's and Dad's hats. He just smiles like, "Look at me I am one of the big boys!"

Birthday Early

OK!! so it has been FOREVER since I posted and I was waiting for Jaime to do a post about his first Father's day before I posted anything else, but life has thrown a lot of ups and downs and we are just getting really behind. So I am going to just post all that I have so far and then start fresh. Hope you enjoy the catch up!! ;-)

My Birthday treat came a little early this year. Zane gave his Mommy a special little gift. My birthday was June 27th and on June 24th Zane got up on his knees on his own started to crawl. Although he only made about one hand and knee forward and then fell flat..... he tried!!! It was so great. Mommy was so proud. It is amazing how much joy your children can bring you!!

I look like my Daddy!!

We went back to California for Father's Day, and I was given a wonderful gift. Ever since Zane was born people constantly tell me how much he looks like his Daddy. I would have agreed. Yet it was undeniable evident when I saw Jaime's baby photos. I was blessed to get to make some copies for myself. Thought I would share.













Jaime is on the left and on the right is baby Zane! This picture of Jaime was taken roughly 2 days after birth. Zane is one week old in his photo.













Jaime is again on the left and Zane on the right. Jaime is about 5 to 6 months in this photo. Zane is 5 1/2 months old.

I definitely think that they look a lot a like, but I will let you all be the judge. I know lots of people have been asking me if I have baby pics of Jaime. So finally the long awaited photos I promised.
