We've made it to Rockdale and are glad to be out of Houston and out of the way of that nasty hurricane. Love to all.

For those of you concerned about us and the hurricane, we are evacuating today to Rockdale, Texas. Love to all!

Let's make up for lost time...lots o' pictures!!

Good times with Daddy!

See? I love to snuggle lots!

Yesterday Zachary went to his pediatrician, Dr. Gray. She is very pleased with how well he is doing. He is even advanced in some areas and on target with his corrected age in others. No delays...whoo hoo!! He's now 11 pounds, 6 ounces and measures 21 and 1/2 inches. He got his six month vaccinations and was none too happy! A couple of weeks ago we were told that we could start taking him out a bit so we've been enjoying getting out of the house a bit. Next month we start feeding him solid foods, rice cereal to start.

We all had a great time with Grandma Marla. She's talking about coming out in September and October too. We agree Grandma Marla, spending time with Zachary certainly is addicting!

This weekend we are going on our first Baldwin Family Road Trip! We're loading up and heading to Rockdale, Texas (in Central Texas) to visit more of Stephen's family. We have also been cleared to take Zachary on an airplane in November so we're going to visit Kim's family twice in November, once for Uncle Paul's wedding and once for Thanksgiving. Watch out world, Zachary's mobile!!

Love to all!

Birthdays!

Tuesday was Stephen's birthday. His Aunt Janice and Uncle Mike watched Zachary so Mommy and Daddy could go on a date. We went to Saltgrass Steakhouse...yummy! Here's a picture of the three of us when we came to pick Zachary up. He gets kind of fussy at night, but that night we think's it was because he didn't want to leave Aunt JJ and Uncle Mike!!

Wednesday was Grandma Marla's birthday. To celebrate she is coming to spend a long weekend with us. We can't wait for her to see how big Zachary is. She hasn't seen him in two and a half months and he's grown so much since then! We are all very excited to spend time with her. Look for new pictures early next week.

In the meantime, we are doing great. Zachary has rolled over from his belly to his back a few more times. Our NICU friends Ned and Lisa got to bring Brinson home on Tuesday and we are praying that Noah goes home next week. We are so excited for our anticipated NICU playdate/reunion!

That's about all that's new. Have a great weekend. Love to all!

P.S. Don't forget to leave Zachary a comment or two...he turns six months old (three months corrected) this weekend!! Happy half-birthday dear sweet Zachary!
