Air Hockey

We had to get a new dishwasher. (It is so nice to have one that works!!) RC Willeys had a deal where if you spend above a certain amount, you can get a discount on a nice air hockey table. SO we said "What the heck..let's get one." And so the fun began...

Zack found the Styrofoam after Steve set it up. He discovered that if you put it on the wall it sticks.
Yes, even after vacuuming a ton, we still find little pieces of Styrofoam all over the house. What is it with that stuff...how does it just reappear?

As you can see, Zack and Steve love to play. I love the top picture of Zack. He understands what a camera is now. So whenever he sees it in my hand, he pulls that cheesy grin. Zack does a pretty good job of actually hitting the puck; he even beat Steve.

As you can see, Josh loves air hockey too. He is one month tomorrow. Can you believe it? Still cute!

Look Alike?

"Oh he looks just like Zack!"

"He doesn't look like Zack at all?"

"He looks like your mom." -talking to Liz

"He looks just like Steve."

"I think he looks like you, Liz."

These are just some of the responses I have heard when people see Josh for the first time. My question is: Does he look like Zack? Here are pictures of both of them on Day 13. To be honest, when I first saw Josh my thought was he doesn't look like Zack at all, in fact he is cuter. (Don't tell Zack, yes Zack is pretty cute too) I still don't think they look very much like each other. What do you think?

Josh: 10 days old

I have decided that baby #2 is sooo much easier than baby #1. I don't know if it because I am more comfortable with a newborn or if Josh is just a better baby or because I had a really easy delivery, but everything is going great!! Josh doesn't sleep as well as Zack did, but the night time feedings don't bother me. I enjoy the time alone with him. He has never cried just to cry. He is a little cuddle bug and loves to be held. Here are some pics of him today.

Zack has been really good with Josh. He calls him Baby. He gets very concern when he cries. Everyone told me he was going to turn evil after the baby. But he hasn't. He's been in time out the same as he was before. He loves to help give Josh a bath and change his diaper. He asks me everyday if he can play with the baby. The one thing that he has changed is his sleep habits. He has decided to wake up at 5:30 in the morning. I think he hears Josh and me downstairs, since we fall asleep downstairs during the 3:00 feeding. Just look at the bags under his eyes. I hope he decides to sleep in soon!

This Little Piggy

While I was at a Pack Meeting, Steve decided to make cookies for Zack. The cookies came out of the oven just as I walked in the door. We gave some to Zack and let him enjoy.

He ate the chocolate chips first. Then he shoved the other stuff in his mouth. By the end, his legs were the only thing without chocolate on them. No wonder our son is a little chubby boy! He loves his sweets!

Welcome to visitors

Hey all,
We are home now and welcome to visitors if you'd like to see the new addition to our family and are not sick. Here's some more pics of him today:

HE'S HERE QUICKER THAN WE THOUGHT!

Well everybody,

Our boy, Joshua John Abercrombie, has come into our lives a lot sooner than we expected. The original date that we planned on him coming was this Thursday when we had already scheduled a time to get Liz started to give birth. However, I got a phone call this morning at work from Liz saying that she was already dialated to a seven. I immediately got off the phone, talked to my supervisor at work, and headed home. We went to the hospital and got situated, the minute they started to bump up the patosin (not sure if it's spelled right); things sailed smoothly. Both Mom and baby are doing fine. Josh was born at 1:42 PM, 7 lbs 3 ounces and 21 inches long. He's a very healthy boy and we love him. Here he is:

We love you buddy!

Baby name???

I am less than 2 months away from having our baby boy. We have talked about names, but haven't really decided what to call our new one. We need help. What name do you like the best? There is a poll to the left. Please help us.
