Daniel Matthew Zogg

Daniel joined our family on Friday, May 15th, at 6:11am. He was schedule to arrive later in the day and just couldn't wait! I started having contractions in the middle of the night and Daniel made his arrival a little less than two hours after we got to the hospital. He outweighed his older brother by almost a pound at birth, weighing in at 7 lbs 1.5 ounces. He was initially measured at a very short 17 inches but, after a few days and a chance to stretch out, he was officially measured at 19.5 inches. As you can see, Cameron is a very proud big brother!

We are all home now and doing great. In fact, Daniel is expecting a very special visit from his Grandpa Dan this evening.












And for those of you who particpated in our online baby pool, Daniel's grandmother, Mama, came closest, guessing that Rerun would be a boy born on May 10th at 5:10am! For her prize, she gets lots of hugs and kisses from her grandsons when she visits in June!

T-Ball

Cameron had his first day of T-Ball yesterday! The 3-year-old program is run more like a clinic than a T-Ball league. The kids meet once a week with their parents and they rotate through a series of stations: batting, playing catch, and running the bases. Cameron has been practicing with Daddy in the backyard for a few weeks now with a plastic bat. I didn't go with the boys but, apparently, the weight of the aluminum bat knocked Cameron for a bit of a loop the first time that he swung it and he landed on his butt!

Happy 3rd Birthday Cameron!

We celebrated Cameron's birthday a bit early last night. It's hard to believe that he is (almost) 3! He was absolutely beside himself with excitement over the cupcakes. As you might be able to guess, he put the candles in himself! Grammy also made him cupcakes to take to school today so he's had a very exciting few days!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Grammy, Grandpa, and Aunt Catherine Come to Visit

We had a wonderful weekend this past weekend. Grammy, Grandpa, and Aunt Catherine all came to visit. Needless to say, Cameron ate up all of the attention. He loved helping Grammy decorate "pupcakes" - note the frosting in the corner of his mouth. And the next day, he got to help Grandpa with Grandpa's specialty and Cameron's favorite food "panpakes."

Cameron's Love Affair with NYC

We spent the long weekend in NYC, which is quite possibly Cameron's favorite city. Although I was terrible about taking pictures, we had a fantastic weekend. We visited the American Museum of Natural History, where Cameron was thrilled by the dinosaur exhibit, and the Central Park Zoo, however, Cameron was more fascinated by the horse drawn carriages, or as he called it, "the parade of horsies!." We also took a couple of strolls through Times Square where Cameron experienced serious sensory overload. He was amazed by the people in costumes - he saw Garfield, Elmo, Batman, and he had to give Spiderman 5! Thankfully we did not see the man who plays his guitar in his underwear (imagine trying to explain that to a two year old). Much to Cameron's great enjoyment, every trip involved the Subway! He would start cracking up every time the train took off because he loved the bumpy ride. Most importantly, Cameron got to take his first taxi ride - what could be better for a little boy?

If you ask Cameron what his favorite part of NYC is though, he'll tell you "Aunt Catherine." We were lucky to spend the entire weekend with my sister and Cameron ate it up.

When we got home yesterday, Cameron looked at Dennis and I and said, "Thank you for taking me on my trip." I love it!

Big Brother

Cameron's newest obsession is feeling his baby brother or sister jump around. He's also been trying to figure out how the baby got in Mommy's belly - the other day, he asked me if I ate his baby brother or sister!
