Ahoy Baby!

I sure hope my son doesn't grow up to hate me for doing this stuff to him haha. I decided to do a pirate picture similar to the one we did when we found out we were having a boy (see it here). Speaking of which, our friends are finding out right now what they are having and we are on pins and needles to find out! So exciting!

We still haven't had time to work on his nursery/my studio just yet. I can't wait to decorate a little space for him, but I am not excited to get him out of our room. He's a pretty awesome sleeper lately though so hopefully it won't be too bad. I will miss having him next to us and being able to put him in bed with us in the morning.

With the way our schedules are who know when we will get time to set it up anyways. We work opposite schedules and the weekends have been packed with stuff to do. Even though I work from home, it's tough not spending actual time together. Thankfully I get lots of time with my little mister though. We have a lot of fun together! It's awesome spending all of my time with someone who thinks I'm super funny. =)

There were some of him smiling that were adorable for this but I decided that pirates don't smile. I like his "what are you looking at" face in this one. He cracks me up.

Sail Away.

This picture was taken when Zack was just 11 days old but I haven't had the time to do these little doodles until now. It's amazing how big he is getting so quickly. With how much he eats though I'm not surprised. My sweet little chubby boy =)

Though I am sad that he is getting older each day I am enjoying that with each day he interacts a little more. We can now play and he will smile and coo and kick his little legs with excitement. His favorite toy is a wooden spoon that I tied ribbons from, a game I found from a Gymboree book. We do a lot of the same things everyday around the same time. We swing on the porch swing, go on walks, take a bath, play with toys, and then at the end of the night I sing to him while we slow dance for a good 30 minutes as he dozes off. It's pretty sweet. 

I try to sing to him a lot as I did when he was in the womb. It seems to calm him and make him happy. What I didn't realize until the other day is that I am now starting to sing everything instead of saying it. Little bit embarrassing but also a fulfillment of one of my greatest wishes: to live in a musical. I'm just glad no one is around to witness it and thankful he is unable to tell. 

My brother is here for the next week and I couldn't be happier. Zachary and I are really enjoying the time with his Drunkle!
