With his Grandpa Jim

Looking out the window

Zack enjoying the downtown Brooklyn skyline---one of his favorite things to do. And displaying evidence of his weight gain in the form of an increasingly massive double chin.

Doctor's appointment

Zack went to the doctor today, and she pronounced him to be thriving. He now weighs 7lbs 6oz, up from 6lbs 1oz two weeks ago---an ounce and a half gain a day. He also picked his head up and scooted across the exam table on his tummy and then flipped most of the way over---the doctor said, "I guess nobody told him he wasn't supposed to be able to do that yet."

She also recommended some drops for his gassiness, and said that they might help him sleep for longer periods at a time. Maybe we will be able to make it all the way up to a three hour stretch, because right now his average sleep is one hour and his longest is two hours, and that's with me holding him. But if the drops just make him feel better in his tummy, I'll be happy.

Reminder: The best photos are on Flickr

The photos taken with the real camera are on Flickr, not here---I have embedded a few, but I won't be doing them all.

Colors

Zack likes the full-color side of this thing just as much as the black and white side---best 3-week-old toy ever.

More black and white

Besides eating and being walked around, this is Zack's favorite thing ever.

Tummy bubbles

Zack needed to be walked for most of the night... Tired baby, tired mom.

A week ago

The ladies from Alex's work sent this personalized playmat---so here he's got a label that's almost as big as he is.

Music

Alex has found that loud music makes Zack stop fussing. Yesterday was an AC/DC pandora station, today is some kind of jazz with a fast beat.

But he sleeps better lying across my stomach.

Having his photo taken.



See, he really doesn't like being changed.

Ooo, patterns

He hates being changed, but sometimes he gets distracted by all these little squares.

This is Alex's primary Zack flickr set, which I believe will continue to be updated:

Zack, first 2.5 weeks

For family and friends on the other side of the country

I am going to try this new way of keeping you all updated with day-to-day details about Zack---hopefully I'll find time to post often enough to make this worthwhile. To this point we've been putting the best photos on Alex's flickr account, and we'll continue to do that.
