It's A Marvelous Night For a Moondance...
Zachary is such a big boy. So cute.
The football is almost as big as he is!
His mouth kept making funny shapes, like his taste buds didn't know what to make of this new flavor.
"Uh......this ain't no breast milk"
On Saturday we went to our friends' yearly summer bash. They live on a 150 acre farm near our house. The party is always a good time. Festivities included volleyball, fire ring, DJ, fireworks, hayride and four-wheeling. My favorite was the hayride at sunset, beneath a full orange moon. See the moon? Christopher enjoyed it as well, although he was asleep by the time the ride ended.
Our Beautiful Addition
Ryan, Christopher and I visited the Coopers on Sunday. Amy looks fantastic. Breast feeding is going very well, Sophia already gained her weight back since her discharge from the hospital. Amy has been getting some sleep (eight hours last night). Marnell is so in love with his little girl. In all, the family is adjusting well.

A week of milestones

Our big boy sitting up like a pro. He is now able to sit unassisted for up to 15 minutes!

Beach Bum Baby
Emily and Tatum stuffed after dinner.
Then he past out again. That sunshine and salty air makes you sleep you, know?
Surf buddies, Emily and Tatum.
"Here, Mom let me get your picture."
Sunday morning Laura, Christopher and I escaped our condo while the others slept, walked a few blocks to the Bay Cafe, and indulged in delicious breakfast. Christopher was very well behaved.
At this point in my weekend I was feeling particularly good. It occurred to me that I could just as well have been at an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean. I was that content. The blue sky foretold of a low humidity day. The breeze rustled through the grass umbrellas. And boy, was the coffee good.
