LATELY.....

Below are a few pictures of what Zac has been up to lately.... We finally pulled out the Highchair about a week and a half ago and are slowly but surely introducing rice cereal into Zac's diet. I love this face!

Zac is really into grabbing his toes right now. Everytime I turn around her has them.

Also Zac has been absolutely fasinated with Bronco lately. The other day I was sitting on the floor by Zac and Bronco of course was laying on me (gotta love the 60 lb. "lap" dog) I looked down and Zac was feeling Bronco's face. It was the cutest thing ever to see these 2 are destined to be best friends for life.

Those 2 faces definately look like they are up to something. I know in the years to come these 2 will keep me on my toes. If only I could train Bronco to be the "Nanny" like in Peter Pan.

W.O.W.

We teach them young in our family how to drive. Zac and Daddy in Grandpa's Mustang. Zac is learning how to check his blind spot.

W.O.W. what could that possibly stand for? Well for my little family it was our Wednesday night family night. Mark has been really stressed out at working 2 jobs lately so this was the perfect stress reliever for him. Mark got off work early yesterday so he could go race around Larry H. Millers racetrack with his dad and brother Scott. W.O.W. stands for Wide Open Wednesday. You pay $20 and you can race around the track in any street legal car for as many times as you can get thru in line.

Yes this is a picture of my TL. Mark had fun predtending it was a racecar.

My adorable little man! He kept laughing and squealing when I lifted him above my head.

Horrible family picture but its the only one we got of the 3 us got together.

Zac got bored and finally fell asleep. Overall we had a fun time and Mark was able to relax and do something fun for a night. I do recommend this activity to any little boy hiding in a grown man's body.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

This Labor Day weekend we stayed home and enjoyed some much needed family time together. On Saturday we headed down south to the baby stores in search of a jogging stroller. I think now that Zac is 5 months old I can no longer use him as an excuse for the extra weight. We found a good sale on the stroller I have been looking at for months now. I am excited to get out and start running now that the weather is starting to cool down. Mark recieved a new calling on Sunday. I'm sad he will no longer be with me in Primary. He is now the 2nd Counselor in the Young Men's. I'm excited for him and know the boys will love him. On Monday we went 4 wheeling with Mark's family from the Bountiful "B" over to his Grandparents farm in Farmington where we went for a swim and ate dinner. It was a nice relaxing Labor day and much needed family time. We are sad to see summer come to an end but look forward to the fall. Below are some pictures of our weekend.

4 Months

Zac had his 4 month check up this week. He was so brave. They gave him a shot in each leg and some oral medicine. He did so well. He was surpisingly happy for most of the appointment, especially since it was right in the middle of his naptime. He only cried for about 30 seconds after the shots and then passed out in his car seat on the ride home.

Here are his 4 month stats....

Weight ~ 15 lbs 9 oz (5o%)
Length ~ 26 3/4" (92%) Tall just like his daddy
Head Circumference ~ 16 1/2" (30%)

I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast. It really does seem like just yesterday I was at the hospital with him.

What's New...

So below are a few pictures of what's new in the Bradshaw household and some of the new things Baby Zac is up to lately. Finally we were able to get new carpet in our Condo. It desperatley needed updating.

This is Zac's new way of sleeping. Should we worry that he likes the blanket over his head?

This is how we found Zac in his Jumper one day. Not a fun mess to clean up. But the face is sooo adorable! How can you be mad at a face like that?

We are slowing starting to add Rice Cereal into his diet. Below are a few pictures of his cute messy face. My little man is growing up way to fast.

East Canyon

Finally we had a successful boating trip at East Canyon this year. It seems like every time we have tried to go this year either the weather or the boat was working against us. On Friday night we were afraid this was going to happen yet again as we called everyone we could think of to go with us on Saturday and nobody could go. Luckily our friends the Hansens were able to meet us up at the Lake. It was a perfect day for boating. We had nice glassy water in the morning took a break for lunch and did more wakeboarding in the afternoon. Jordan even showed us that it is possible to jump the wake on 2 skis. Wish I had taken a picture of it. Hopefully we can get 1 or 2 more trips to the lake in before the summer ends. Below are some pictures of our adventure. Zac loves his Daddy!

Mark thought it would be a good idea to have another driver on board.

Should we worry that he is not looking straight ahead?

The fabulous crash.

Mark's highest jump so far this year. Way to go babe!

Naptime for Zac. Life sure is rough.

Sweet Ellie. She really didn't like the life jacket at first but as you can see she eventually go used too and took a great nap.

BABY ZAC

I love this picture. Zac always sleeps with his arms above his head. He looks so relaxed.

Zac's new jumperoo Daddy bought him. He loves to jump and play with the toys. It entertains him for hours.

Zac chilling in the rocking chair. He has such a rough life!
