3 Weeks Old!

For some reason it feels like Zachary has been here a lot longer than 3 weeks. We are so in love with our little man and his brothers are great with him. I was a little worried about how Gavin would react but he is so cute with Zach. He loves to squeeze his head and lick his hair(I know, a little odd) and Zach doesn't seem to mind.
Last night I was pleasantly surprised when Zach slept from 1:30 am until 7:30 am. I definitely appreciated the much needed sleep.
Zachary is such a blessing and we could not have asked for a better baby. He never cries, he sleeps like a log, and his family is so in love with him!

Nana went home :(

We had a wonderful week with Nana here. If only it could have lasted longer! Here are a few pictures that we took before nana went home yesterday.

Pictures, pictures, and more pictures

We are having a great week with Grandma Keele (nana) here visiting. Tanner and Gavin are in heaven. We have been very busy and there are a few times that we have forgotten to take out the cameras, but here are a few pictures.

This is Tanner with the "fisherman bear" that he made with nana. He saw an episode of Little Bear where little bear and his mom made a bear and a fishing pole. Tanner picked out the material and all the accessories and they made it together.
We went to a mall a little farther from our house than our regular mall. The boys really enjoyed riding all the toys.
It is a tradition to go to Mast General Store while anyone is visiting. When we were there I found this tin picture to put on the wall in the boys' room. I thought it was the perfect fit for my three boys.
Tanner and Gavin having fun wrestling on the floor in their room

Nana and Gavin. One of the few times that Gavin would allow anyone to pick him up. He is very content just wandering the house getting into anything he sees available.

We had to include a picture of the little guy. He is very squirmy and loves to just lay and wiggle :)

We have one more day with nana here and we are determined to take a lot more pictures tomorrow.

Busy Busy Busy

I have been running around having a ton of fun with mom here and I haven't posted any pictures in a few days. What is wrong with me?!? We are having a great time and Tanner and Gavin are LOVING having Nana here visiting them.
We are going to the "new mall" as Tanner calls it, it is just a different mall than he is used to, and then going out to dinner tonight. When we get home I will definitely post pictures of the fun things we have done so far.
Later Gators!

He's home!!

We are finally all together under one roof! It is wonderful! The boys were very excited to see their little brother in the house instead of in the NICU. We were very pleased by Gavin's reaction to Zachary. He just wanted to hug and kiss him. The funny part was when Gavin actually licked Zach's face. We love our curious little man..lol.
Here are pictures of Gavin's reaction and also of Grandma June holding baby for the first time.

Strings, Seats & School

Zachary was so cute when we saw him today. He can officially sing, "I've got no strings to tie me down." I had to take a picture.


I also had to put him in his car seat to make sure that the straps were tight enough for his little body. They will leave him in his car seat for an hour tonight and hook him up to an O2 machine to make sure that his breathing doesn't change. We are so excited to bring him home tomorrow. (Check out the long Stone birdy legs..lol....he is definitely more like Tanner than Gavin)


Also, Tanner came home from speech with his first school craft today. I was so excited! They are reading a book about clouds and since it has been cold here, they made a little Tanner dressed in all his gear. Soooooo cute!

Car Seat Test!!

So I just got a phone call from the NICU. They told me to bring in Zach's car seat so that he can have his car seat test. If it goes well I can bring him home tomorrow!! I will update again later.
