Life as a mom/person with a child

I'm still not used to the name "mom", so I'm just going to refer to myself as a person with a child until the name doesn't sound so foreign. To sum up this life, it's pretty easy. Of course, I've had my mom here doing everything for me (I've changed a total of like 2 diapers...), but I must say I have a very easy child. So far. Hopefully things don't change to much! Todd is the best dad in the whole world. He just stares at little Zack for hours shoving his finger in his hand (he loves to feel the little guy squeeze his finger...).

Here are more pictures of Zackary. Expect only pictures of him for a little bit since I'm still working on getting my fabulous body back, and no one cares to look at us anymore since we have a kid.

Also, daddy Todd is working for the city which consists of mowing, shoveling dirt, and other things that make him smell not so good. But, it does build his muscles and is a perfect one month job before school starts next month. And, it's Todd's last semester! I still have one more, but the end is in sight.

Here is Zack all cuddled up in Todd's old baby blankets. So peaceful...

In the swing that Grandma Jackson bought him. He loves it!

Oh my goodness...your baby is beautiful! I wish I could have seen him today at church, but Christian made sure to tell me how cute he was when we got home(he even used the word cute...and thats coming from a "man"). Anyway, congrats & I'm happy to hear you and baby are doing well.
