Yes, I know, not the most benign title in the world, but it grabs your attention at least a little bit, doesn't it? On Wednesday nights, we are in a couples Bible study through church and it's in Odessa. Now that Zac is in daycare in Odessa, that means I'm picking him up after work. From a time perspective, it doesn't make much sense to then drive back to Midland, turn around and head right back to Odessa, at least not every week.
On Wednesdays we have to eat out anyway, due to timing, so we try to eat cheaply. Taco Bell was the choice this week, and in typical fashion around here, it took about 15 minutes to get our food. At Taco Bell. When nobody was in front of us. Yes, that's how bad food service is here. It should pick up once the oil bust occurs and there are more employees around, but the main reason it's bad is that the workers don't care.
Anyway, during that wait, I fed Zac some dinner, chicken & vegetable I believe, and then we were playing. He got a kick out of me blowing on his toes, so I decided to capture a little of it on my phone and here it is. :)
On another front, Claire is getting to be online quite a bit recently, so I get to chat with her now. Makes it a lot better when I know we can connect more often!

Who Needs Sleep?
As parents, Katy and I have been very, very lucky so far in that Zac has always been a good sleeper. It only took him a fairly short time after getting out of the NICU to where he would sleep long portions of the night, and he was somewhere around 4 months or a little less when he began fully sleeping through the night. So, we've been a little spoiled.
Until last night. He went to bed around 8, seemingly in good spirits and doing alright, but woke up a little after 11, crying for some unknown reason. I really, really need a baby-to-adult translator for this boy. Anyway, that started a very long night for the two of us, with small respites in between, until maybe 4 a.m. or so when Katy was finally able to put him back in his bed for good. Until then, he had no interest in sleeping unless it was with Katy holding him.
He seems to have a bit of a fever, and did throw up around 1:30 a.m., plus his nose is stuffy and he's had a cough for about a week. Our small group on Wednesday nights has 3 nurses, and they felt like his cough sounded just fine, that it was nothing to worry about. We believe he may be teething again, which would contribute to many things, but his crying was not from his mouth. We're pretty sure it was his tummy. I am home with Zac this morning, then Katy will come home so I can go to a meeting I have at 10. Then I'll return and she can get back to work as she has some financials to get taken care of today.
Hey, we can sleep in tomorrow, right? HA! If only Zac agreed with that idea. :)

Patty Cake
I uploaded a new video today of Katy playing patty cake with Zac. It should be displaying on the right side before too long. He loves playing that with her, and always gets a kick out of it. We've been trying to get a video of him rolling over for over a week now, but he just hasn't been cooperative when we've specifically tried catching him. We'll get it up there eventually. I had hoped to add a new pic to this entry, but he's not much fun at the moment and that makes him much less photogenic than usual, too, so I'll try to get one up later today or tomorrow.
Katy and I had opportunity to go to our first small group meeting this past Wednesday night. We're in a group with many couples, and we're pretty excited about the chance to spend time with them even outside the study, plus several have already volunteered to watch Zac for us. That means we might actually get a date night sometime soon. You don't really understand just how badly you need that once you have children until you go several months without a break. Yeah, we could use it. :)
NOTE Added 2:04PM: I seem to be having issues getting the correct, most current videos to display. As such, I'm going to now insert the patty cake video here and create a new post with the latest videos I posted.
