3 months old

Check out our lil' smiler.  Zack will be 3 months old tomorrow.  Sweet little snugglebun...can't get enough of him!

Here's one of Brett around the same age...we think they're starting to look a LOT alike.

See what I mean?  Brett top, Zack bottom. (can someone pleeease tell me how to get these pictures to publish side by side??)

Da boyz...

Last weekend we celebrated Grandpa's birthday - lovin' on his littler man

In other news, Daddy took Brett to his very first rock concert (Kutless, Disciple and the Newsboys).  Brett did not have any fun at all, as you can see.  They stayed until almost 10 and Brett stayed awake jabbering the whole way home from Salem.  He is a total rocker at heart.  Now if I can just figure out where his volume control is...

Okay, so it just took me forever to get this post formatted correctly... blogger is seriously trying to melt my brain.  Going to publish now before it scrambles my editing again.

If you're chunky and you know it

Today was Zack's 2-month checkup. Sweet little guy did great, even with shots. Ready for his stats?

Length: 24.25 inches. 95th percentile!

Weight: 14 lbs. 1 oz. 95th percentile! And up 5 lbs. 6 oz. from birth. Wowza!

His head is measuring in the 75th percentile, which is funny because he's not at all like his big bro. Brett was off the charts his whole first year.

Ready to guess? Here are pics of both boys at 2 months old...who is who?

if you're happy and you know it

Brett is constantly asking to hold, snuggle, play with, burp...you name it...his little brother. He was born to be a big bro. So thankful and blessed that we are able to see this precious side of our big boy. Last night they were snuggling on the couch...all smiles. My only challenge was getting a picture where Brett was actually smiling at the camera instead of playing with and tickling Zack. Sweetness.

These were shot a couple days ago when we had a little bit of sunshine. Z's been smiling for a few weeks now, but we are just finally starting to capture those adorable gums on camera. What gets him to grin, you ask? For some odd reason, he loves to have his nose and face wiped. Most kids scream at the sight of a kleenex approaching their face...but lil' Zack man thinks it's a silly game. This one in the highchair was snapped in a series of a major spitup wipeup.

Oh boy(s)

I guess becoming a mom of two little boys means that my blogging efforts will just never be up to snuff again. Oh well! Life is busy and blessed. Here is a post I've been meaning to create, much for myself, to remember what our big guy Brett looked like when he was a littleun like his brother Zack. They are just over 3 years apart...so fun to see their similarities and uniqueness!Brett, first month Zack, first month

Brett, second month silly face

Zack, second month - smile!

And one of the two of 'em - sweet sweet boys!

Meet Zack

Hi everyone! Just a quick update from the hospital...

Little Zack David Boehme was born early this morning, at 3:43 a.m. He made his grand appearance just about 5 hours after we suspected he was on his way. We arrived at the hospital at about 2 a.m., at 7 cm. Within the half-hour, we were 8 cm. Pretty soon it was go-time, and after just 5 minutes of pushing, here he was! Did it all without pain meds or intervention too. :)

Here are Zack's stats:

Whopping 8 lb., 12 oz.

21 inches

Little champion!

Hope you enjoy his first photos...we are enjoying our new little man very much! Brett just took his first visit as a big brother...fun, fun! We are gonna have our hands full for sure.
