An Assortment of Delicious Babyness

I haven’t had a lot of free time to blog (go figure) the last few days as I’m trying to either (a) Keep everyone in my family alive, a task that is much harder than I anticipated, or (b) Catch up on sleep by forcing the kids to nap with me. AndyZ is a much better sleeper than his sister was, but I’m feeling more tired because I can’t sleep as much during the day as I did with her. The nights were impossible with her, but since it was just her during the day, I could stay caught up relatively easily. The nights are easier, but still not long enough with AndyZ. But I can’t nap as much during the day because his evil sister thwarts all of my attempts. Like today – she slept for 30 minutes at naptime. THIRTY MINUTES. That’s not even enough for me to fall asleep, much less clock in any catch up time.

However, I have been trying to upload at least a few new pictures to flickr every day. For those of you not keeping tabs on my new flickr photos, I thought I’d add a few of my favorites here for you to see. AndyZ is still a grumpy old man and NikkiZ is still active and adorable. In case you were wondering…

Huh?

Hangin' with Dad.

In the pool

Laughing with her cute brother

Sweetie

Snuggling

Someone is a little jealous...

More of the basking, this time with the dogs.

My three kids

    I haven’t even said congratulations yet, so: CONGRATULATIONS!
    You have a wonderful, beautiful family and I love all of these pictures. I was about to tell you which ones are my favorites, but I can’t decide! I hope you manage to get some sleep, so you can enjoy them all even more!

  5. JaniceNW says:

    All of your children are beautiful! I love the newborn chinless look with the wide open eyes. She is so sweet with him but my fav is the one where all the pets are standing guard.

    Thanks for sharing.

  6. Fraulein N says:

    Awww! Thanks for posting these. I love the one with the dogs guarding the baby.

  7. Lulu says:

    me too..AndyZ`s guard dogs! adorable!

  8. Kym says:

    I love all the pictures! My favorite is the “changing of the guard” picture with the dogs. They are soo cool with Baby AndyZ. Congrats again.

  9. ladybug says:

    …his evil sister thwarts all of my attempts…. mwhaahaahaaa!

    Those are some awesome pictures. Each one was better than the previous, and the first was better than the last (how’d you do that). That AndyZ is one stylin’ little dude! Adorable.

  10. Juls says:

    Congratulations on another addition to your beautiful family.

  11. BJaxon says:

    Those are some awesome photos. My favorite is the last one, with all three kids in it. That’s definitely a keeper. You are sol lucky. :)

  12. BD says:

    what sweet pictures.

  13. Erin says:

    The “guard” dog picture is great. I still say you need to frame the fifth one. It looks like a pro shot.

  14. Rachael says:

    Oh my gosh, your family is just so cute! The baby looks great, and dood… your hubby is hot! And I just think LilZ is such an awesome brother I can’t even tell you. Even your dogs are apparently awesome! Ya done good.

  15. Karl says:

    First and last pix are the best IMHO. AndyZ looks hilarious like any decent newborn should! and LilZ with the two little ones is priceless. Whoever gets him is one lucky girl.

    Karl

  16. Oh, LOVE the pictures! Your family is so beautiful, and AndyZ’s expressions are priceless!

  17. stacey says:

    sweet sweet pics!! I love them. I hope the sleep thing gets easier soon!!

  18. Hannah says:

    That one called Sweetie is seriously adorable!!!!!

    I took lots of photos yesterday at my Aunt’s wedding and my Mum told me how professional they looked – I am slightly scared!

  19. Swistle says:

    ACK! CUTENESS LEVELS EXCEEDED!

  20. supertiff says:

    that last picture made my ovaries explode.
    thanks.

  21. alisonc says:

    I see the dogs are working hard! Such a beautiful family.

  22. Bah says:

    Those are FANTASTIC pictures!

  23. Maria says:

    The last one is my absolute favorite. Your children are so beautiful.

  24. claire says:

    How are your bostons with AndyZ? My three didn’t care about the baby until he was maybe a month old and now they love him to pieces.

  25. Wonderful pictures. I love them all, but the ones with the animals and AndyZ are just super because there’s so little possibility that any of them are posing — it’s just who they are.

    I have a similar pic somewhere of my 3 (at the time) scotties welcoming my son home from the hospital– 8 years ago now.

  26. Katie Kat says:

    OHHHH! He is SUCH the little old man. I love that – and the picture of him on the white blanket… he looks like a little puddle of baby yumminess. DELISH!

    P.S. Our cats are totally twins! I’d link a picture if I had any computer skillz whatsoever… :)

  27. Isabel says:

    …and my heart just broke from all the cuteness and love…

  28. Erica says:

    I love all your photos. They are amazing! What a beautiful family you have!

  29. Brenda says:

    so cute!! My cat looks just like yours! She’s a shelter kitty we adopted at Christmas for my daughter. Here are a few pictures of her http://cookingwithaltitude.blogspot.com/2008/03/annabelle-cat.html

  30. Shawna says:

    These pics? Ad-or-a-ble.

  31. Moogie says:

    I love all of these photos…I’m not sure which one I love best. Maybe the one of AndyZ sleeping on his tummy so peacefully? Or the one of NikkiZ in her swim suit or laying with AnyZ..or, or….they are wonderful!

  32. WonderSpot says:

    These pictures are almost too much to handle!! I bet even my terrified of babies coworker would love them!

  33. These pictures are all AWESOME. I have never seen a cat look so huge! No offense, Cat! It’s just that you’re bigger than the tiny human!

    Also: never have Boston Terriers looked so much like Big Huge Guard Dogs.

    AndyZ is so lucky to have such a great group of humans and animals looking out for him!

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
