We had a great day today.
Zack woke up around 7 a.m. today and since Mommy worked late last night, Daddy took care of the morning feeding and let Mommy go back to sleep for a bit. How great! I didn't really get a lot of sleep, but it was so nice just to relax under the covers for a while.
We decided to take advantage of another beautiful day and a happy baby. Daddy started some more leaf-collecting work with his cool new leaf vacuum gadget while Mommy and Zack went for another walk. We bumped into a few of our neighbors again and then enjoyed the sunshine and each other's company. Well, for a few minutes until Zack fell asleep and Mommy kept stopping to test out the new camera again.
When we got back to the house, Zack was still sleeping, so Mommy and Daddy did some raking together while Zack snoozed under the shade on our tennis court.
We went inside and got ready for some visitors! Reva and Bret and their handsome boy Owen, born two days after Zack, came out tonight. The boys laid in the pack 'n' play for a little bit before sitting on their mom's laps and -- so serious here -- babbling and laughing to one another. Owen, who has the BEST laugh, would get a HUGE smile on his face, babble a few words and then pause. Then, a second later, Zack would babble a sound or two and then get a huge grin on his face. This continued for several minutes. I swear it was as though they were having a conversation with one another.
It is so great having another couple to compare notes with and share stories with, and we're very lucky that we have several couples to do that with. I can't help but watch anxiously what Owen does and how it compares with Zack's accomplishments so far, and although Zack is holding his own at this point more or less, I realize I have to keep myself from focusing on that too much.
What is important is that Zack does the best that HE can do.
It was a day full of treasures -- falling leaves, fresh air, the new camera, good friends and lots of giggles.
