Zachariah is one week and one day old already. We came home from the hospital last Friday, so we have been home almost one week already. We are quickly adjusting to having two kids to take care of. Seeing the difference between Gracie and Zach is amazing, what they all learn in 1 1/2 years is incredible. To our surprise Gracie is actually being a very good big sister. She tries to be so helpful. She is constantly grabbing me a diaper or 2 or 3..., bringing me the burp cloth, she tries to put the Nuk in Zach's mouth, pushes him on the baby swing (most of the time with a little to much force), and the latest she is coming up to me and lifting my shirt so I can feed Zach. These actions just go to show what she all is absorbing and then replicating. As for Zach, for the most part, is a very good baby and very similar to Gracie, except for the eating. He is definitely a boy! The first few days he was eating every 1 1/2 hrs around the clock and since I breastfeed... it is all me doing the feeding and getting up at night. The last 2 nights he had a 3 hour stretch from 2am to 5 am so I am hoping this will continue on (cross-my-fingers!).

Such little toes and fingers.
I think Gracie likes her new brother... she gives him lots of kisses.
