2 months later

OK, the idea behind the blog has been a bit of a fialure since I have not posted in 2 months. I will try and summarize my experiences for the last 2 months.

First, when do we become sleep deprived? We have been warned but Zane has not delivered the sleepless nights. Of course I speak for myself, I am not the milkman. Zane sleeps 8-10 hours a night. He grunts for attention 1-2 times a night usually due to hunger. After he eats he falls asleep so fast that I dont wake him to change his diaper (never wake a sleeping baby, right). Considering he wears cloth to sleep that is pretty great. No diaper rash and no late night changes as well. I think Zanes first sentance will be "Oh boy, sleep...Thats where I'm a viking"

Zane is a great traveler. He has already been through 5 states. That is more than most of Liz's friends in Nebraska combined. He drove to Michigan and recnetly took a train ti Nebraska.

Regarding the train, Liz and Zane left on Monday for Nebraska via Amtrak. I never thought I would feel so alone in my own house. No diapers to change, no baby to hug. I miss his gummy smile.

Zane's newest discovery...his feet.

Zanes favorite team...the Steelers. He roots, they win. See pix on website.

Anyway, I will try to update more regulary so you can be part of Zanes life from a distance. We want him to be close to family when he meets them for the first time. On deck, the Florida Beukenkamps in March.
