2/14/15: Happy Valentine's Day

February 14, 2015

Happy Valentine's Day! This is my lovely family.



2/12/15: I am 4 weeks old!

I am 4 weeks old!



2/11/15: Another sleeping Zane pic

February 11, 2015

Sorry if these sleeping baby pics are getting old. This is what he does 14-15 hours a day, so it is tough getting non-sleeping pics. I still think they are cute.



2/8/15: Sisterly love and Grampi and Grandma visit!

February 8, 2015

The morning started off great! Samara really loves Zane and kisses him all the time. I am a bit jealous because every time I ask her for a kiss she gives me either her cheek or forehead.




I like how Samara says bless you and knows Zane might need a tissue after he sneezes.




Later, Grampi and Grandma came over for a visit. I don't think they can get enough of him.








And here is one last photo for this post:

2/7/15: Aunty visits!

February 7, 2015

Aunty Sarah finally got some one-on-one time with Zane today. Sarah loved holding Zane and Zane was more than happy to sleep in her arms!



2/6/15: I am 3 weeks old!

February 6, 2015

When Zane is content after eating, he looks around, bulges his eyes, and purses his lips. It is pretty funny.




Samara would do this as well. As a comparison, here she is at 2 weeks old:

1/30/15: I am 2 weeks old!

January 30, 2015

Today Zane is 2 weeks old!

I love giving Zane baths because his hair gets so fuzzy and cute afterwards. Here is Zane pre-bath. Look at that skinny arm! There aren't any fat rolls on it!




Here is Zane after his bath with his fuzzy hair.





1/29/15: Clasping hands and pointy chins

January 29, 2015

Zane fell asleep on my lap clasping his hands, which is something I haven't seen before.




It has been nearly two weeks since he was born, and he is still pretty skinny. You can see how pointy his chin is because he doesn't have a lot of fat!

1/27/15: Daddy time

January 27, 2015

Zane doesn't like sleeping on Seth too often. Cold hands? Skinny, uncomfortable body? So when Zane does, I like to try to capture the moment.

1/26/15: Arms up

January 26, 2015

When I am lazy and don't feel like swaddling Zane, I just put him in his rocker and throw some blankets over him. Then his arms are free to move around by his head.



1/25/15: Sleepy time

January 25, 2015

Zane is a much better eater and sleeper than Samara was, so most of the pictures I have of him are when he is sleeping.

Here Zane and his Daddy are snuggling together:




Zane snuggles with me all the time. Sleepy babies are so cute!

1/24/15: Bris

January 24, 2015

Today was Zane's ceremonial bris. After many attempts to find a mohel available for today, we ended up with one that we were less than pleased with: he was unwilling to change the ceremony in any way, showed up late, and thought my sister was the mom to name a few things. Nevertheless, it was a nice reason for family to come and meet him.

Everyone wanted to hold Zane. Here are a few moments I was able to document:

Benay



Grandma Renee




Aunt Shari




Grampi Kevin




And here are a few pics captured by my sister where Samara is lovingly holding her brother.
