2 months old and still growing

I promise I will post pictures soon - hopefully Wednesday. Zachary went to the doctor today for his 2 month checkup!!! Even the doctor was amazed at his size. He is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. He was 13.2 pounds and 24.5 inches long. He is a true joy but was not so fond of 3 shots and the new rotavirus oral vaccine!!! We will post pictures of all the boys soon!

Benjamins Art Work




Today at Benjamin's Occupational Therapy, Kylie, Benjamins therapist said 'you will never guess what Benjamin did today'. She is right have have stopped trying to guess. First (a couple of weeks ago), Benjamin wrote his name and now he is drawing pictures- mirror images!!!! Take a look!!!

Smiling Kids






Cooking and Cleaning





I'm trying to teach the boys early!! Will loves the new Oreck and its only 8 pounds so he can really move it!!

Great Wolf Lodge






We decided to try Great Wolf Lodge for a night over the holidays as well. We had a great staycation and Will always wants to go back on vacation!!! The boys did very well swimming even Zach put his feet in!!!

Zach at 6 weeks




New Years




We had an young married couple News Years Eve, we did stay up until midnight, as did Will and Zach. On New Years Day we watched football and made Rice Krispie Treat houses with the boys. And of course had pork and sauerkraut!!!

Snapshots of Zachary






Zach is growing like a weed, don't they all!! He started smiling just before Christmas at about a month old. He has such a cute smile with an obvious dimple on his right cheek and a faint dimple on the left. He has such a wonderful and personable personality. At my 6 week check up he spent the time I was there with the nurses just hanging out while I had my appointment. Zach is going to be a thumb sucker. He found it on New Years Eve and can occasionally find it again.

Holidays with Amy, John and Rylee






We spent a day over the holidays with Amy John and Rylee. John prepared his wonderful fresh ham and the kids exchanged presents. Will adores Rylee but is not incredibly fond of Uncle Johns elephant noises. Thry just aren't safe to Will. One of these pictures is Bryan and Will crashing heads - another favorite of Wills.

Christmas Day






More shots of Christmas Day. Zach slept most of his first Christmas and has taken to smiling already!!!! Benjamin loves his ant farm and the ants have made a tunnel or two.

Christmas Morning






OK - here it is approaching 3 weeks after Christmas and I am finally updating the blog. We had a wonderful Christmas, we spent Christmas morning at home with Grandma and Grandpa Collins. The boys have lots of fun new toys and have had lots of fun with all of the toys!!
