Happy New Year

Hi Everyone! I hope that you all had a great Christmas Eve and Christmas day! I certainly did! On Christmas Eve, my performance as Baby Jesus went extremely well - I totally wowed the audience with my acting skill! It was then off to Grandma & Grandpa De Sousa's for dinner. It was great because all of the people I love the most were there...like Mommy & Daddy, Grandma & Grandpa de Sousa and Morrison (aka: Nammy & B-Bop), Aunt Emily, Uncle Chris and my cousins Nikita and Willow...and of course, Uncle Mike! He's so cool! I got tons of presents and had a really fun time hanging out with everyone!

As for this week, I hope that you all have a very Happy New Year! I am doing a sleepover at Grandpa & Grandma de Sousa's tomorrow - my first one ever...while Mommy and Daddy go out partying! I am bringing lots of toys...that will keep Grandpa busy playing with me and not that silly puppy Mindy!

Anyway, that's all for now! Peace, love and happiness to all for 2008!

PS: You should also know that tooth #2 is coming in! I should have two teeth by the end of the month! WOW!

So Many Announcements!

 


Hi Everyone! I am sure that you are all busy preparing for Christmas...but I just wanted to say hi and let you know what I have been up to...and what I have planned this week!

First of all, the biggest announcement is that I will be starring as Baby Jesus at the Christmas Pageant on Christmas Eve. Isn't that cool? I am so excited, and so is Mommy! She's got her camera ready to go. As for me, I have been practicing my acting skills and being very dramatic. You should see my serious face. Anyway, if you're interested, please come to Christ Church and you can check me out. Or, tune in later this week and Mommy will have new pics posted for your viewing pleasure!

Secondly, the other major announcement is that I have a tooth! Can you believe that! I am only 5 1/2 months old. WOW! So far, it's just broken the surface and is only sticking out a little bit...but just wait! I will have a major tooth by next week! I can't wait. Mommy did hint, however, that this might be the end of boobie-juice for me! What does that mean???

Thirdly, I had a date with my girl Caroline last night! She looked beautiful! I was on my best behavior (cause her dad was near by). Anyway, I did manage to hold her hand for a bit...and she smiled...! Check out my little slide show and see what a cute couple we make!

That's all for now...Merry Christmas to everyone!

5 Months Old Already!

I just celebrated my 5 month birthday this past Sunday...again, I was not able to have any cake yet...but Mommy did sample some new mint-flavored Oreos on my behalf to commemorate the day. I guess I will just have to wait until I am a little bigger! You should see all the stuff I can do now...I can jump in my Jumperoo, throw toys off of my Exersaucer and I am also really good at crunches and sitting by myself. My parents are so proud of me...and they should be...cause I am so darn cute! Here I am on Sunday in various poses and locations. Warning: there are some bath pictures, so my privates are kind of out in the open...hahahaha!

Enjoy my slide show!

I'm an Artist

So it's true, I am a very talent young artist! I specialize in abstract art, kind of like Picasso. As you can see, I have a lot of fun with my "work" - especially when supervised by Nanny Hope. She gives me good direction and inspiration in creating my masterpieces. Mommy loves my creations and shows them off on the fridge for everyone to see! She's so proud of me! Check me out here as I create another work of art with my little hands...blue hands in this case!

I Met Santa Claus!!!

Hi Everybody!

Well, I have some very exciting news to report! I got to meet Santa Claus this weekend at my Aunt Emily's store! Yes, the real Santa Claus. Interestingly, he kind of looked like my Grandpa (Be-Bop)...but I think it's just a coincidence. And, there were cute little Elf girls there too! They even let me try on there Elf hats...I was so excited! Although I can't talk yet, Mommy told me that I should wish for some good toys...and because I have been such a good little boy, Santa will definitely bring them to me on Christmas Day!! Overall, I had so much fun on Saturday...I hung with Mommy and Daddy all day...we even painted ornaments too! There's even going to be one with my hand print to mark my official 'first' Christmas. Only 22 days left!

Thanksgiving Update

Hi Friends! Hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! I had a blast! Although I did not get to eat any Turkey, I did get to see my family! We had tons of food and lots of desserts! I can't wait to sample all the goodies next year! Anyway, I loaded up on 'attention' - all the ladies in the house played with me! I had so much fun!!! And, cause Mommy is an avid shopper, she even bundled me up and took me out the next day to experience Black Friday...apparently, she picked up some cool presents for me...I will have to wait until Christmas to see...All I know is they better be cool! Here I am all snug and toasty just before my trip to Target...

I'm a Big Boy!

Hi Friends and Family! It's me again! As many of you know, I had my 4 month check up this weekend...Does anyone want to guess how big I am? Well let me tell you - I am a whole lot of baby! I'm 16.5 pounds and am now over two feet tall at 25.75 inches! Holy cow! You should see how big my feet are too...I get them from Mommy! My other big announcement is that I am now eating solids...doctor's orders! He said I am so big that milk is not enough to satisfy me...I wanted to tell Mommy and Daddy, but it's kind of hard 'cause I can't talk yet. You know how it is! Anyway, more updates later this week as I celebrate my very first Thanksgiving!!!!

My Baptism!

Hi Again! Yes, two posts in one evening...can you believe it! Well, there is lots to show and tell! Yesterday was my Baptism!!! First I got to wear this stylish little white outfit at the Church...I looked really cute! I was also very well behaved and did not even cry when the Rev. put water on my head...I think I am mature for my age! It was a lovely service. Then, it was off to the restaurant for lunch, where I changed into my post-baptism outfit. I think that Mommy is trying to dress me like Daddy. She keeps calling me Mini-Me...what is that supposed to mean? Overall, I had a wonderful day with my family and friends! I can't wait for my next big event!

Busy, Busy Baby!

Hi Everyone! Sorry that it has taken me so long to update my blog...I have really been very busy this month. My social calendar has really been booked up...I hope you understand. Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that I started eating cereal last week...it's tasty, but so messy! If I'm not careful, it gets stuck in my nose...and that's trouble! Just check out these pics and see. Also, I just celebrated my 4-month birthday on Friday! Mommy and Daddy got me some cool books! I love them so much!!!

Striking a Pose & Using the Remote!

This weekend I had so much fun with my Mom and Dad! They took me to the park and I got to see all sorts of stuff, like squirrels and birds (like swans) & lots of pretty fall leaves...all different colors like red, yellow and orange! It was so cool. I even got to hang out at the pond for a little, where I did these special poses with Daddy....I think I am America's cutest baby model...I need to be discovered!

Oh! I almost forgot! Daddy showed me how to use the remote so that I could watch football with him! That was fun too...Its got lots of cool buttons to play with and lights too...Check out these pics of us watching the game and waiting for Mommy to bring us some buffalo wings!

Who Can Yell Louder

Watch me and Mommy play the yelling game...it's so much fun. I definitely won this time...I yelled so much I thought my little head was going to pop off...I don't think Mommy would like that too much!

Happy Halloween!

Well, it's finally Halloween and I'll bet you were waiting to see what I was going to be! I'm Tigger from Winnie the Poo! Don't you think orange is my color? I do! I am going to visit my grandparents and get some candy...but wait, I have no teeth to eat with...guess I have to wait until next year! Happy Halloween everyone!

Nanny Hope's First Day!!!

 


Hi Everyone! It's me again! Today was a very big day for me...it was my first day with my awesome nanny, Hope! She is very cool! We did lots of stuff together today - she played with me, read to me and even took me for a walk around the neighborhood. I had a really nice time and can't wait till she comes back tomorrow!

Back on the Farm!

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere! Mommy and Daddy took me back to the farm and this time I was awake! I have never seen so many pumpkins in one place...and they were all so big! Much bigger than little me...but wait till next year! Daddy said when I am bigger, he'll take me on a hay ride! I can't wait!

Can I Get A Cupcake???

Hooray!!! Today is my 3-month birthday!!! I can't believe it - time has totally flown by! I've been having a blast here...and really love Mommy and Daddy. They take such good care of me and hook me up with cool toys and stuff! And, I am getting so big too...As of my doctor's appointment yesterday, I now weigh 14.5 pounds and am 24.75 inches long! I am going to be a bruiser, just like Daddy!!!

Christmas Comes Early!

 


No, it's not Christmas time yet, but apparently Mommy thinks it is. All morning she tormented me with these silly poses - and made me wear a Santa hat - and even a Santa suit! Believe it, it's true, and I have the pictures to prove it. From what I hear, she's still wants to take more pictures...and I am going to figure out how to stop her!

Pumpkin Adventures

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to the pumpkin farm! I was so excited! Well, actually, I was really excited, but then I fell asleep...and there was no waking me up! So, I did not get to see all the cool pumpkins, flowers, scare crows or the hay stacks...oh well! Maybe next time!

More Pictures of Me

Guess what? I love toys with lights and funny sounds! It's much more refreshing that hearing Mommy and Daddy speak in funny voices! This week I got to play on my new play mat and I LOVE IT!!!! However, I did get a bath today, so there are some other pictures of me...without any clothes! I can't believe Mommy did that!

What Time Is It in Holland???

This week I am a bit sad...not giving that many smiles to Mommy, because Daddy is away in Holland. I think that is really far away, but I haven't been there, so I am not totally sure. Anyway, once Daddy is back, I am sure that I will be all smiles! Especially if he brings me a cool present! Come back soon and safe travels!!!!

I am a Professional!

Check out this new "professional" photo of me. I am all wrapped up in a blankie my Great-Grandma made for me. Its soooooo soft! And, I must say that I look super cute! Don't you agree?

I Feel So Much Better

So I was out and about today with Mommy. We went to Target and I decided to give her little surprise! A big poopy kind of surprise...and man was it loud. Here I am after I "took care of business" - you should have seen Mommy's face! She says I remind her of Daddy!

Grandma's Birthday

Here I am again! Man, do I get to go places! On Sunday we took Grandma to lunch for her 55th birthday. She looks pretty good for a Grandma (and she smells so nice). Here I am with my Grandma and Grandpa...I am such a cute accessory!!!!

I'm Two Months Old!

Hi Again! Yes, can you believe it? I am a whole two months old! Man how time flies! And of course, I have been very busy...growing up! As of my 2-month check up, I already weigh 13 pounds (I am going to be a big boy)...and am 23.75 inches long! Wowzers! Stay tuned for more updates as I keep getting bigger (and CUTER!!!!!)

Me & My Vo-Vo

 

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend! I did!!! Mommy and Daddy bought me some great new toys this week...cool ones with with lots of lights and sounds - just the way I like it! I also got to hang out with my Grandma & Grandpa yesterday too. I had a good chat with Grandpa...he's very funny and told me he's going to get me a toolbelt just like his when I grow up! I can't wait to build something with him!

Not Again!

 


I think Mommy is getting a little out of hand with her camera! This week she staged another photo shoot. I am so helpless that all I can do is participate in her excitement...I think I am going to have to have a talk with her...hmmm...but that might be a while since I can't really talk yet. Daddy, please help!!!!

Beach Bum Baby

 

It's me again! Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend! I did! Mommy & Daddy took me to the beach again...and I pretty much just chilled out the whole time. You know, it's hard being a little guy...and sometimes I just need a break, or a least extra naps! I especially enjoyed napping while out for a stroll on the boardwalk! I looked so cute - especially in my special sun hat and funny bib!

It's Been 8 Weeks!

I can't believe it, but it's true! I have been around for 8 whole weeks! WOW! Here's a sampling of my adventures from this week!

Yep, I am a Spitter!

Check me out...just when Mommy and Daddy think the coast is clear, out comes some fun...spit up! I love to mess with them that way...it's so much fun! Mommy ends up changing my outfits throughout the day...so I am always "stylin'" And who can get mad at me with a smile like this!

Professional Help

Today I got my picture taken by a professional photographer! Man did I look cute! Those photos won't be ready for a few weeks, but Mommy was able to sweet talk the photographer into taking some pictures with her camera. Please note that for artistic reasons, I am not wearing very much! So scandalous!!!

Zack's Slide Show Fun

Here are some cute new pics of me from the last two weeks!

Me & My New Pals!

Hello Friends! Once again, this week was very exciting for me, as Mommy had me meet some new friends! Here I am with my new pals Evan Thomas, Luca Rocco and Justyna (she's a bit older than me, but I like her!!!). We also got to go to the shore again - but I am too little for the beach! Must wait until next year!

Top-to-Bottom: Zack with Evan, Luca & Justyna

It's My Birthday...Kind Of!!!

I am one month old today! Look how big (and cute) I am! Say, where's my cake?

My Girlfriend

This is me with my girlfriend Caroline! We had our first play date yesterday! She's quite a looker!

My Adventures

Mommy & I had a great week! She took me to the mall and even my first trip to Target! Very exciting...but most of the time I was asleep! I also had some funny moments with explosive poopy diapers! Let's just say it was very messy! Anyway, please enjoy this week's pictures...Mommy was very creative with her photo shoot!

Zachary - Week 4

Hooray! It's Week 3 for me! I can't believe it! I was floating around for 9 months in Mommy's belly...but now I am out...and I am getting bigger everyday! As of my doctor's appointment on Friday, I already weigh 9lbs, 10oz and am 21 1/2 inches long. Don't worry, I will be walking soon!

Not sure what types of adventures I will have this week...but I think Mommy said something about going to the mall? She's so Jersey!

Zachary - Week 3

Zachary - Week 2

Zachary - Week 1

WOW! Uncle Mike is holding me!!! This is a big step for him!

My first bath! I don't know if I like being clean!

Here I am with Daddy! I want to go swimming with the "cuddas" but first Mommy has to change my diaper!
