Once again too long

Well we've learned that an angel baby can become a devil baby overnight. Our Little Z Man has decided to stop napping. This in turn means by about 6 pm he becomes a bit monsterous. We are trying to rectify the situation by instituting lots of new tricks -- strolls in the late afternoon, wearing baby bjorn a lot more. There is an upside..once he fall asleep around 10 pm he does sleep til 5 am! Woo hoo.

Anyway, here are some cute shots from the last few weeks.

Zain Finds His Voice

It's like someone flipped a switch. All of the sudden the boy speaks -- well not exactly but watch this (He's responding to his favorite toy -- the ceiling fan in mommy and daddy's room).

A Busy Week

In addition to meeting his "new" family, the Little Z Man had an activity filled week.

He started off by visiting Alcatraz and Fisherman's wharf with Auntie Nikki, Uncle Marc, cousins Sarah and Max, and Nana and Papa. (He's easily the youngest Boxer to ever visit Alcatraz. Daddy was probably 20 before he ever made it out there).

Here's Zain with Nana Donna and Papa Jeff at Fisherman's Wharf.



Later that week, other Auntie Nicole (Boxer) flew into town with Big Z and her fiance Kevin. Kevin got to meet the Little Z for the first time. See below.




On Saturday, Zain attended his first Cal football game tailgate. He's not quite ready to make it to a game but he enjoyed the festivities before hand. His whole family attended and even his Godmother, Maureen, flew in from Southern California to babysit so that Mommy and Daddy could go to the game!





The week ended with a bang as Jeff & Donna hosted what we hope becomes an Annual Labor Pool Party. Over 40 people came by to munch on yummy hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken drumsticks and drink the slushies that came from the margarita machine (there was one with punch for the kids).

Here Isaac Tilin helps out with the adult drinks.




And we were really excited because Little Z went in the pool for the first time. He totally loved it. The pictures we have aren't perfect -- that's because Uncle Marc wouldn't let me tell him how to use my camera ;-)



So that was the Little Z Man's week last week. I'm exhausted just writing about it.
