Day 7... I lost one!

I didn't post yesterday!! I didn't even take a picture. So lame. But, I'm back!

Nap time is my only time to cuddle with my monkey. Usually when I try, he wants to get down and explore! But I love rocking him to sleep for his naps. He gets very snuggly.

"why are you snapping that camera, mom?? I'm just trying to get to sleep over here."

"Soooo close......"

Sweet sleeping baby.

I might try and edit these tomorrow if I get a chance. Sorry for the poor quality - I was trying to be sneaky as he fell asleep.

Bonus shot!

Can you believe how long this kid's eyelashes are?

Day 5 - playtime!

August 5, 2009

Zane is 10 months, 1 week!

I wanted to get a few shots of playtime today... luckily the dog was in a friendly mood and wanted to play with Zane, with their favorite toy.... a plastic water bottle.

Why do I buy toys again?

The offer...

Taking the bait!!

He was giggling the entire time. :)

Seriously, I love how they are surrounded by toys, but are entertained with an old plastic water bottle. Tache (the dog) will chew on those for HOURS unless we take it away.

Bonus shot!

How can you resist this face??

post and run - day 4!

August 4, 2009

Zane is 10 months, 1 week!

He loves the outdoors.

Maybe a little too much....

He is literally clawing at the door here! He just loves watching the trees and the action outdoors. If there's a window, he's looking out into the world. I had just gone out to cool down the car and left the door open while I got his bag ready. He just crawled over and started yearning to be free!

Day 3

Aug 3, 2009

Zane is 10 months, 6 days old.

He was not excited that I put him his pack-n-play while I made him lunch.

But darnit all if that smile didn't come out as soon as he saw the camera.

I have the ultimate hambone for a son.

Bonus shot!

Shhhh.... daddy needs his nap, too!

Day 2 :)

Zane is 10 months, 5 days old.

As I listen to Zane put himself to sleep, I present these pictures of how I find Zane everytime I go in to get him when he's woken up, either from naps or in the morning.

"Hi Mommy!" It never fails; when I go in there to get him up, he is always standing at the side of his crib. Usually playing with anything he can reach on his changing table/dresser. We did not anticipate Zane's general monkeyness and penchant for getting himself into trouble when we set up his nursery!

Bonus shot:

"I am a veruh surrious bebeh. I has important businesses to attend to."

This was the last picture I snapped of him... priceless.

Day 1!

August 1, 2009

Zane is 10 months, 4 days old. :)

Daddy forgot a crucial step in bathing him last night - combing his hair! He rocked a mohawk all day.

I'm going to have to find time to edit these pics and make them pretty before I post them - a lot of the girls doing the 365 project have super awesome cameras and much better composition than I do!

Tomorrow's the big day!

So tomorrow is August 1st, and I'll be starting my project of posting a picture a day!!

I thought, since my "subject" is of course, my son, that I'd catch up any new readers (har har) to Zane's life.

Without further ado, I present Zane, from birth to 10 months. :)

A couple of hours old...

3 days old...

4 weeks old...

2.5 months old

3 months at Christmas

4 months

5 months

6 months

7 months

8 months

9 months

10 months - these were taken just the other day!

He's growing up so fast. :(

MIA...

Sorry I haven't been posting - My best friend is visiting from Europe, so I haven't really had the time to post!

I'm sooo excited for the 1st - getting close now!

update!

I figured out my flash drive! All is well in the world... at least on the camera front.

Zane channels Linus van Pelt pretty well, wouldn't you say?

Oh, snap!

I totally told Carissa I'd do this!

Well, clearly to start off - I did NOT totally forget about my very first NOT ME MONDAY post. Such a clear thinker such as myself would never forget an important milestone such as this.

I also did NOT choose to skip folding laundry for the 5th day in a row, leaving 2 piles of clean laundry in the laundry room, even though the time to do more laundry is fast approaching -- NOT ME!

I certainly did NOT read blogs instead of walking the dog this morning while Zane was napping. That would have been inconsiderate of me - something I'd never do - NOT ME!

and lastly, i did NOT fall asleep while rocking Zane to sleep this afternoon. I am always fresh and peppy throughout the day, and never need naps myself! NOT ME!

Hooray, I made my first NOT ME monday post - with 12 minutes to spare! I think come August 1st, provided I get my camera issues straightened out, I'm going to make Not Me Monday a tradition... with a picture of Zane doing something totally NOT ME worthy. Not that he EVER gets into trouble, not my precious child... ;)
