I had to post these pics, again! He's crackin' me up with his big 'ol grin!

3 month old Zion with
14 month old cousin Maya. Too cute!

Whoa! I thought she was happy. Should I be crying too?

What a fine lookin' chub!
Do you suffer from chicken leg syndrome?
In just 10 weeks, you too could gain a solid bod like mine. Just follow my foolproof nutrition plan.......

3 Months Old!
Tomorrow, it's official--he'll be exactly 3 months! Crazy how fast the time has already gone by. Many of you have asked for recent pics, so enjoy! I took these photos and submitted this first one for Baby Gap's casting call. Hey, his dad is a finalist for Zest's Men of Adventure, so this little guy could be in Baby Gap's finalist picks too! Sorry there are not photos of me and Jeremy with him! Whenever I have a chance to post pics, it's usually when Jeremy is out of town, which means I'm by myself with


Zion, and I'm not really coordinated with trying to hold Zion and the camera and somehow get myself in the picture! When Jeremy is here, his computer is attached to him like a ventilator, so no pic uploading for me! SIGHhhhhhh....one of these days we'll get a family photo on here!








Zion has discovered his hands, and if I let him, he would suck on his fingers all day!

Jeremy and Jonathan (my husband and brother in law) have both made it into the finals for a Zest Soap "Adventurous MEN" contest.

If they win, we all four get to go to on a $15,000.00 trip somewhere amazing in the world!

Please go vote for them- be sure to rate them as "3's" in all categories, then rate 3 other individuals as "1s" in all categories to help their prospects. In all you must rate 5 men.

Thanks for the help- I could use a free trip!

be sure to ask friends and family to vote too.

Guess what?
Zion is 2 months old!

He's such a stylin' boy in his snap-style shirt and brown felt cowboy boots.

I love smilin' for my mommy...

but I don't like it when she tries to pose me, even if it is for the purpose of showing off my faux hawk and male pattern baldness.

Now, I'm really ticked! Enough with the photo shoot, I'm hungry!

So beautiful!
It seemed like forever until Zion was actually sleeping for more
than an hour at a time. Okay, so he sleeps for 2-3 hours at a time now, but for me, that feels like an almost full night of sleep!





Zion still takes his best naps during the day. He gets Sooo...
relaxed. I don't know how this can be comfortable.







If I try to re-position him into a more spine friendly position,
he just pushes his little...er, big? head back, his mouth drops
open, and his arms go limp. We know he's really in a deep sleep
when his breathing sounds like he's talking!





No exagerration, Zion can touch his head to his tailbone.











Here he is awake, as he more often is!

Hi Everybody!
Sorry it's been so long since you've seen new pics of me.
Mom says that dad hogs the computer, so she's had to be patient
and wait until this morning at 5 am to start posting pics. Of course, these are really old photos of me at like 6 weeks old. I look totally different now at 9 weeks! Mom plans to play "dress-up" with me today and do a photo shoot. So, until then,enjoy these goofy photos of me and dad.


Here's me and dad. He keeps getting his scratchy face up close to me and telling me he's gonna take me slacklining and climbing. Huh? I think he's kinda crazy, but I just smile back at him!





Me and dad at First Fridays downtown.
I was particularly intrigued by the largescale brightly colored
pieces. I also enjoyed being carried around like this. People look
so different from this position!

Holy cow! Time flies!
It's been almost a month.
Zion is doing great!

We visited my great grandpa Ray in warsaw missouri a couple weeks ago-Zion made him a great great grandpa(and that he is).














Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Sandy came to visit-


They sure love little Zi Guy!


And we have some cool pics our excellent photographer friends took of our lil family.
here is Tricia and Zion, shot by Amy Berg



And here is Zion and I, shot by Kelly Jackson






more later...

More pics of Zion! Yeah, I know, it's been 2 weeks since we posted pics.
There is good reason for that! You would think that since newborns sleep 17-20 hours a day, that there would be time for updating this blog.
Notice, however, that as in this pic, Zion most enjoys sleeping when the sun is out. That means I did not get much sleep, and thus am sleeping with the sun too.
This is also why I am posting pics at 4 am while holding Zion. Yep, he's wide awake. I think he enjoys the clacking of the keyboard and the fan in the background. I tell him that his irresistable cuteness is what makes it tolerable to be up this early!



Look how relaxed he is! He enjoys his bassinett during the day, but prefers being held by mom or dad in order to sleep at night.







Look close! Zion's got a little smile on his face!











Zion is wondering why in the world I have him awake at 2:00 in the afternoon.







Ahhhhh!!! This is the life!
Zion's favorite sleeping position--being held by mom.
