Week Nine

Zeeke is now crazy about standing.  When sitting in our laps, he used to enjoy a variety of sitting and leaning positions, but now he's all about standing.  At least, when he starts getting grumpy, we can now pull him up and let him stand on us to calm him down.  Standing seems to be really helping him develop his balance, as well as further strengthening his neck and legs.  

On Monday, Karen and Zeeke had a visit from Lorissa.

On Tuesday, we finally made it over to Karen's library to show him off and pick up some wonderful gifts from her fabulous patrons.

On Wednesday, we went to a Fourth of July barbeque at Carl, Micaela & Harper's house.  It was a great time until Steve went outside and found we had a flat tire.  We got the flat dealt with just in time to get caught in concert/fireworks traffic.  Since Steve's nerves were frazzled and Zeeke was managing to sleep through the ordeal, we decided to skip our other barbeque at Kris and Ed's and just go home and sleep.

On Sunday, Steve's parents came over for a visit and we gave Zeeke a bath. 

After that, we went to our friend's Books & Snacks party.  Zeeke had a great time chiling in the AC with lots of adoring ladies.

This is so wonderful for me, it's almost like being there, which will have to do until September. Zeke is so fortunate to have such literate parents recording his beginning days and weeks and I am sure the rest of his life. You are doing such a great job of parenting while still enjoying life and friends to the fullest. Love you, Aunt Cissy
Aww, thank you so much, Aunt Cissy! We can't wait to see you!
