2 Year Check-Up

Zane had his 2 year well-child visit this afternoon and he passed with flying colors! She said he looks great and is progressing just as he should! She was impressed with how much he talked and that he could put two words together! She didn't have any concerns, just said to do what we're doing! The only piece of advice she could dig up to give us was...to put lotion on him after his bath! Ha, we can do that! After 3 shots and 2 stickers, he was ready to go!

Zane's Stats:
Weight: 29 lbs (62%); he's put on 19 lbs since birth.
Height: 36 inches (86%); he's put on 16 inches since birth.
Head Circ: 19.88 inches (89%); he's put on 4.88 inches since birth

Party Time!

We had Zane's birthday party yesterday at the Tukwila Community Center! It turned out really good. We were able to rent two rooms with one of the rooms being just for the kids to go crazy in and play the other was for food and presents...pretty sweet deal. I think Zane was a little overwhelmed, but he had a good time. He got the cutest look of surprise and excitement on his face each time a new friend would show up, it was almost like he was thinking "hey, what are you doing here"! He was not into sharing his new toys though, that much I can tell you! The word "mine" was used many times as he opened his presents! Oh well, I guess they are yours kiddo...but you do need to share! Thanks to my friend Brenda and my brother for taking some great pictures I have some here to show you!

Zane's 2 year pictures.

We had Zane's 2 year pictures done last Friday by our favorite photographer Sylvia Cook (she also did Zane's 18 mos pics). Here is the gallery of pictures that she took if you are interested in viewing. I can tell I am going to have a hard time picking which ones to order! Why do you have to do such a good job Sylvia, why?!!!!

Zane's Pictures

Happy 32 to Josh!

My awesome husband's birthday was on Monday and his choice for dinner was Tokyo Steakhouse! I had been wanting to take Zane there to see what he'd think of the fire and of the chef's cooking our meal at the table, so it was a great excuse to go! Zane was not too sure about the fire, but all in all thought it was pretty cool. Our chef was hilarious and making us all laugh throughout our meal, but the best part was watching Josh get embarrassed while being sung too...ha, I love it! The embarrassment was worth it though, he got an extra scoop of ice cream in his dish!!

Trick-or-Treat!

Zane had his first experience with trick-or-treating this year! We didn't go to too many places, we did more driving around than anything, but he still had fun and was still the cutest tiger on the block!

Zane has learned he likes candy; possibly a little too much. Poor kid got sick on our way home from trick-or-treating last night, but he is fully recovered today (although, has been cut off from candy for now)!


We drove out to Gig Harbor to surprise Josh's parents last night, it was so much fun! They were so surprised and so excited to take him down to the neighbors to trick-or-treat (and of course show his cuteness off)!




He even got one of his birthday presents while visiting with the grandparents last night (he also got gifts from the other grandparents he went to see last night too...I just forgot to take pictures). Have you ever seen a tiger riding a horse before?

Birthday Fun!

Since Zane's birthday is on Halloween, we really try to make the daylight hours all about him and then the evening hours about Halloween. This year we took him to the Family Fun Center to play in the Kidopolous section. This is basically a 3-story high McDonald's playland on steroids, it awesome...best $5 I think I've spent in a long time (oh, and parents play free, yahoo!!). Zane had a blast (Josh and I did too)! After playing for awhile we took him to the Spaghetti Factory for lunch...but my camera died, so no pictures of that! Just trust that he had a good time there too!

Happy Birthday Zane!
