Tooth

On Monday, December 22nd Zack started teething. Jaclyn had mentioned that she thought he was because he was acting fussy and was not eating. Sure enough that night I felt Zack's bottom gum's and I could feel a tooth. Unfortunately on Tuesday when I took him to Bob's parents house to be babysat while I was at work he was in a lot of pain. They said that he cried for 3 hours straight and he only slept for about 10 minutes. Poor little guy. That night he started crying again and we could tell he was in pain but didn't know what to do. We tried Tylenol but it just did seem to work. Finally I went to Walgreen's and got the Teething Tablets that Jaclyn had recommended and within 10 minutes of giving it to him he was out cold.

The good thing about the tablets are they are homeopathic so they don't have any side effects and are all natural. It's a good thing I had the day off on Wednesday because Zack was up until after 1 am. Unfortunately Bob wasn't so lucky. He had the day off but he was on call. At 5 am he had to work on a forklift then again at 9 am. It was a rough night but we made it through and Zack is now the proud owner of his FIRST TOOTH! I've tried to get a picture of it, but it's still small and Zack likes to stick his tongue out when I try to see his tooth. But I can definitely feel it there!

We had a great Christmas but I will save that for another post.

Well I've been tagged by Kallie to leave 7 facts about myself ... hmmm.



1. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Technical Sales from Weber State University. I don't use either of my degrees (I also got an associates in Interior Design).
2. I've never lived outside of Utah. Unless you count the summer that I travelled from Minnesota to New York selling magazines door to door; living outside of Utah.
3. I had my appendix taken out in Goshen, Indiana. (It's an amish community)
4. I've never broken a bone. (knock on wood).
5. Bob and I met at Pineview Reservoir.
6. I hate saying prayers in front of people. If I'm asked at church I always decline.
7. I hate watching most sports on TV but I LOVE going to anything sports related.

I tag.... Candice, Mandi, and Deanna (and anyone else that would like to join in)

5 Months

Today Zack is officially five months old! I can't believe that time is going by so fast! But I'll be honest, I love this age. He's interacting more and I'm finally "getting" him. I loved him as a baby but I'm loving this age. I actually can't wait until he's crawling and doing stuff on his own. And I know that everyone says I don't want them to grow up too fast, but I'm excited to play with him, and I know Bob is excited about teaching him sports!

This last month has been a lot of firsts.

- First Thanksgiving.

- First time having some Turkey... Thanks Mom... LOL.

- First time seeing Santa!

- Started eating Rice.

- Started on carrots (today).

- Getting really good at rolling over

- Sitting up on his own for quite a long time.

- Slept through the night the past 4 nights! Let's cross our fingers it sticks.

- Absolutely loves the jumper!

And know for some pictures:

First time seeing Santa. My mom invited us to her ward's Christmas Breakfast. He didn't seem to mind the old man with the long white beard. He did want to pull on that beard and to eat his fingers. But what doesn't Zack want to put in his mouth. LOL.

Next we have Zack exactly 5 months. He's not smiling because he was being cranky today, and I'm lucky to get this picture.

A picture of Zack helping us decorate our tree. Again with everything going into his mouth. I was trying to take the pictures fast. I didn't need our baby electrocuting himself on Christmas lights.

Here is a picture of Deanna feeding Zack his carrots. I was really surprised that he didn't make a face when he first tasted them. He actually didn't seem to mind them at all. He's so funny because I think he would rather eat then drink from a bottle. But he's got to stay on formula until he's a year old... sorry buddy. He's silly when he eats too. I guess since he's starting to eat solids and sitting on his own we'll need to get him a high chair.

And last but not least a comparison to see how much he's grown in just five months. I think it's funny to see how much his hair has grown. We will be getting him a haircut before his next picture, it's just getting too long!

Jumper Zack

About a week ago we borrowed a jumper from my good friend in the neighborhood. Bob's mom has been telling us for a while now how much Bob loved being in the jumper when he was a baby and since Zack loves to bounce we finally got him one to try. AND HE LOVES IT! He will sit in it for a quite a while (on baby terms). He's so good at jumping too.

So here is a little video of Zack in his Jumper. The lighting is pretty bad, because it was later in the evening and for some reason my camera needs TONS of light. So I set up a lamp on him.
