Isaac @ the Jersey Shore

Celebrating Anna and Baby Walters...

We(Laura, Mom and I)threw a baby shower for Anna this weekend. It was super fun and very well themed(if I do say so myself)Everyone was very generous and brought wonderful gifts. Girl stuff is sooooo cute! here are a few pictures...





Now we are off to the shore!!!

Thursday's Festivities

Yesterday was another busy day. Isaac played outside with Caelan while, Daisy, the cleaning lady was here. Then, we went to Dulles Airport to pick up his Aunt Anna. We had lunch at an Italian Restaurant. Dinner at home and then we went out for dessert. Today we are going to Great Country Farms and finishing the shower prep.

Virginia or Bust...

Yesterday morning Adam dropped Isaac and me off at Albany International Airport so we could make our trek to Northern Virginia for my sister Anna's baby shower. This is Isaac's second plane trip and he did awesome. He was awake for take off and landing and snoozed while we were in the air. We then had an hour car trip from BWI to NOVA. Isaac finished his morning nap in the car. Once at Grandma and Grandpa Isaac played with his buddy Caelan while Aunt Laura, Grandma and I worked to get ready for the shower. In the evening, we took a field trip to the new Bodek home. Then, we had dinner at the Silver Dinner with the Family, plus Laura's Mike and Sue. Isaac finally had a good nights rest after a hectic week and a very busy day. Today, the troops went to what seemed like every store in Northern Virginia, collecting the final elements for the shower. Isaac cat napped throughout the day and fell asleep for the evening at 7:30pm after playing with Grandpa Craig(including a lullaby sung by Grandpa!!!)

Who needs a binki???

When Grover's nose is soooo yummy!


Here are some pictures of Isaac with his pups...

Last evening Adam's Grandmother, my honorary Grandmother and Isaac's Great Grandma...Anne Zima passed away. She was 90 years old. She was healthy, spunky, and active up until a few months ago. Selfishly, we wish she was still with us. The past few weeks she was suffering greatly from all the effects of heart failure, so we take comfort knowing that she is no longer in pain...

We love you Grandma and will miss you greatly...When you meet Grandpa Frank, give him a hug for me and tell him how wonderful little Isaac "Frankie" is!!!

A busy Sunday!

Since Sundays are the only day that Adam does not work we try to get as much family time in as possible.
Today we...

• went to a farmers market in Schenectady.
• had lunch at home.
• attended an open house in our neighborhood.
• watch a Flag Day Parade in Troy.
• visited Great Grandma Anne at the hospital(she fell last night so she was admitted for the day for observation and some tests)
• dinner at the diner.
• hung out with the dogs in the backyard.
• bath.
• storytime.
• in bed by 8:30(at least Isaac was).

A wonderful...jam-packed...family day!!!

Farmer's Market

Flag Day Parade

mmmm...Rice cereal!!!

So today is not only Isaac 5 month birthday, but it is also the day that he got rice cereal for the first time. He did pretty good, most of it made it in to his mouth...pay not attention to the eye goop, he scratched himself there so I am trying to not irriate it anymore by wiping :-)

A day in the life of Isaac "Frankie" Zima

Mommy's errand buddy...he is such a good shopper!!!
With a future librarian for an aunt...Isaac is not lacking for a good book to read.

He is usually such a happy baby...we are very lucky!
Here is Isaac enjoying the great outdoors.

Isaac appears to love the water.

Last night we continued to celebrate Adam's birthday. We went to a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. Isaac was very interested in the everything that was going on. He wouldn't fall asleep until after all the cooking was done.

Birthday Boy

Isaac and Adam and a birthday potpie!

Isaac was very interested in the candle and would not look at the camera...this was the best shot I got. AND Isaac slept from 7:30pm until 4am...then slept until 7am...HOORAY!

Nice weekend

The Zima clan enjoyed a nice weekend together. Saturday, Adam and I did some yard work while Isaac snoozed in the backyard in his stroller. Adam reseeded some bare spots in the yard and I transplanted some hostas from the backyard to the front yard. Sunday we drove out to Mass. with Adam's parents and sisters to visit with some of the Watnick relatives. Isaac did great on the trip out, was pretty good all day visiting...but by the trip home he had enough of behaving which resulted in stopping three time on what should have been a 2 1/2 hours ride...oh well :-)


P.S. Today is Adam's 29th Birthday!!!

Here is a short clip of Isaac rolling over. He has been consistently rolling from his belly to his back for a while now. Tummy time is almost nonexistent because of his rolling...oh well! It is kinda hard to see in the video, but he is sporting a new robot diaper from his Aunt Laura, it's too cute! Sleeping update...Isaac has been sleeping from 7:30-8pm until 3am. The problem is that I have not been going to bed until 11-11:30pm so I am still only getting 3-4 hours of sleep at a time. Another new activity that Isaac will be partaking soon is solid foods. I just bought rice cereal, with I plan to start him on at 5 months...there should be some good photo ops with that adventure ;-)

Then and now...

One Week...
Four Months...
One week old...Four months old...

I can't believe how much he has grown and changed in such a short amount of time!!!

Some new pictures

After a long week of both his parents not feeling well...Isaac is starting this week on a better foot :-) Last week I was dealing with a case of mastitis and Adam was on antibotics for a tick he found. One of Isaac's aunts requested some updated pix because we were too under the weather to add any last week. So here are a few.
