Week 9: Family, hiking, pumpkin painting, laughing

Week 9:

Zachary has been a happy boy this week! He's on a great schedule and continues to sleep through the night (anywhere from 10-11 pm all the way to 6:30-7:30)!!! He's able to be awake for a little over an hour now including his feeding (maybe an hour and 10 minutes) as opposed to an hour for the previous few weeks.  He eats at 7, 9:30, 12:30, 3:30, 7ish, 10ish.  

Tyler continues to crack us up! Life is good!!

Here's the picture journal from this week:

Time with Aunt Allie

 Zachary and I had a wine and pumping date with Fern and Gwen! SO fun!! It is our dream come to to have babies practically the same age!! We are very lucky!

 Pete and Jane were back in town! They came to music class with us!

We went hiking on Roosevelt Island! It brought me back to my Burgundy days.  I got to pass on some of the knowledge to Tyler about trees, dirt, bugs, and plants.  My favorite thing to pass on to Tyler was about how to find a good walking stick.  When I was little and my dad and I would go to Cooper's Cove (Burgundy...my elementary school...owned over 500 acres in West Virginia and every year from Kindergarten through 8th grade, my dad and I would go twice/year with my class.  Hiking was a big part of our time there.  My dad taught me the importance of finding a good walking stick.  Here's Tyler with his walking stick!

Here is my dad saying "How big is Tyler? SO BIG" This is about the 4th time my dad has said it and you can watch closely and see that Zachary is anticipating my dad saying "SO BIG." I love his little laugh!
