Zach - 1 month


Zachary had his 1 month birthday this past weekend. He and Alex both had their first official baths to celebrate. Alex has moved into the big tub - his splashing ability is amazing, but the move was delayed due to my pregnancy (too much bending) and trying to find a way to keep him from getting hurt on the fixtures. I found a cool tray for holding bath toys that I can put across the front of the tub to block the fixtures, and Alex can pick what toys he wants to play with. Zach's belly is finally completely cleared up, so it was time for a full fledged bath. I think he enjoyed it, he didn't cry at any rate.
Then we hit the farmer's market at Jack London Square. Alex loves to go to the markets and sample the wares, it is messy but yummy. We stopped in for some Korean bbq, and Alex is well on his way to mastering chopsticks. Hey - that means we have a family of 4 lunch success! Yay!

Alex's 18 month check up was today, and he is in the 90th percentile for height (seriously, where did that come from?) and 25th for weight. Better that ratio than the alternative. We weighed Zach, and he is a chunk! 11 pounds 6 1/2 ounces.
I had a bunch of photos and had a hard time choosing, so there is a new album on our kodak page. If you didn't get the viewing invite and would like to see them, let me know.

Check out the skills, Ninja Alex Chopstick Master! Mae just tries to stab food with the chopstick, or use them as drumsticks on the table. Boy, Zack is getting big! Hugs and kisses to them both!
