Zeke's Favorite Thing

This is my new favorite thing...




Of course, it's second best when compared to being held and cuddled, but it's a close second when the belly is full, the diaper is dry, and the sleep has been sufficient (and Mommy and Daddy enjoy the free hands for just a few moments too).

Life Lately

Too many pictures, but I just can't seem to choose.  Plus, Oma and Opa are here, so it has been a very exciting week!

Two weeks old!




Like father like son

 And Opa!  First meeting of Zeke


Superbowl party 2013!




Lots of snuggle time


At times our little man becomes cross-eyed, and it's oh so cute


 Zeke found his thumb and fist to suck on this past week!



 Our growing boy





Three weeks old!


 First bottle feeding by Dad was a success!  Zeke took to it with no problem.  Something less to worry about when Mom goes back to work in a few months.

 We went on our first "date" since Zeke was born...a snow machine ride!  Oma and Opa stayed home with Zeke while we enjoyed a little fresh Alaskan air out on the tundra.  Short but sweet and good for us too.







 They have the same expression in this picture : )




 Moby!  Such a help when you need free hands and a baby nearby


Life is changed.  It's different, but for the better.  Each day is flying by with greater speed, and our little guy is changing more and more with each new day.  It's so fun to see bits and pieces of his personality come out, and I'm sure it will only grow with the weeks to come.  It's hard to believe Zekes age will not be determined by weeks anymore but by months come Sunday!  Almost a month has gone by already.
Oma and Opa have fallen in love with Zeke, as expected.  It will be interesting to see if he can nap in his Pack n Play or swing once they leave.  It has been so good to have extra hands around, not only to help but also to love our little Zeke.  Papa will be coming immediately after Oma and Opa leave, and we're excited for more visitors!
