Zack is 2 months old already and went for his scheduled pediatrician visit this week, which included getting five shots. He yelled at the nurse, but was back to his old mellow self within 5 minutes. The doctor says the bump on his head is nothing to be conserned about as the X-ray and ultrasound both turned up normal. Over time the size of the bump will diminish and eventually disappear as Zack's skull grows and gets its normal shape. Zack's weight is now 12 pounds, 1 ounce and his length is 23.75 inches. Aiden has learned how to smile at the camera :-) or is that "grin"? Anyway, he thinks it is very cool. He loves drawing with chalk outside on the concrete and is helping dad mow the lawn nowadays using his very own little lawn mower (thanks Rubows!)
We've just returned from a busy 3-day visit to the Bay Area. I was down there on business and the rest of the family decided to come along. Christina and the boys enjoyed seeing some of our friends again. Aiden was especially happy to see Clara (former neighbour and love of his life) - as you can see it was a feast of hugs & kisses from start to finish. This trip also marked the first time that Zack slept away from home and he did fabulously. On our way back home we had a breakfast feast with Kevin and Heather in Walnut Creek. We hadn't seen them in years so it was great to catch up. We have a few more weekend trips planned before the BIG trip to South Africa in December. We're hoping these little getaways will train us and the boys for that. So far... so good!
