We had a early game tonight, in fact we did not even have another team to play. So, we split up our team and played each other. It was fun playing against people you know.
Canon scratched his nose tonight, normally that would not be a big deal, but tomorrow is his 6 month pictures. Joleen can not believe he did that, but I told her that I cut my hair in the 4th grade the day before pictures (a nice square chopped out of the center of my bangs). Father like Son.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Thursday, March 29
I was hoping today was Friday all day. I went out to lunch with my girlfriends today to Olive Garden. It was a great time. On our way out to the parking lot from work was the funniest though. Since it is nesting season for the geese down here they are very territorial. One came after us squawking away and flapping its wings. I have never seen a pregnant woman run so fast. Lori was hilarious and I was oblivious to what was going on since I was walking way ahead of everyone - too funny.
Canon had a rough morning at daycare and he doesn't seem to be eating well there so I am not sure what is up. We think he may be cutting a tooth but he seems to eat fine at home so I don't know. I was noticing his rice cereal will be out soon so I am going to call the ped tomorrow and ask if we can move him on to oatmeal.
Oh, Canon and I saw Phil & Pamela today, our next door neighbors, and they are expecting a baby in September. It is SO exciting, there will be 3 little ones within a few houses of each other. How fun for Canon! I would laugh if they have a girl. Our other neighbor has a girl and Canon would have his hands full ;0) hee hee
Well goodnight all!

Tuesday & Wednesday
Tuesday
Well I slacked off yesterday. We went out to dinner in Farmington Hills @ a Mexican restaurant called Camelias. I recently reconnected with two of my friends from high school, Stacy and Shannon. We had a great time. They got to meet Canon and I got to meet Stacy's little girl Georgia. She is 11 months and Canon is almost 6. They found each other interesting and were both well behaved ;0) It was SO good to see them. They are doing well for themselves and we had fun reminiscing about old times. I missed Shannon's smile and Stacy's infectious laugh. I hope we can get together more often.
I got to see my friend Crystal's baby boy, Brenden today. I am not sure if I spelled that right, but he is a cutie. He says pretty eyes and beautifully long red hair. He looked so tiny, it's hard to remember that Canon was that tiny only 5 months ago, sniff sniff. I held him and he is just adorable and was fun to watch him smile while drifting off to sleep. I can see why people have lots of babies, that is a nice warm, fun, feeling!
Wednesday
Canon went for a walk at daycare today and he was in a pretty good mood but didn't feel much like eating cereal or the bottle. It looks like he is teething and he acts like it too. We did get him to finish his bottle from 3, another bottle, and his rice cereal, so that was good. We also had him sucking on a teether and he seemed to like that.
While we were playing tonite he grabbed ahold of my hoop earring and actually yanked the whole thing out of my ear - we are telling you - he is a genius and a crafty one ;0)
I am so excited because we are getting his 6 months pictures done this weekend. I also am happy because I am trying to organize my scrapbook/guest room upstairs. I always talk about doing it but I am actually going to try to get up there 3 times a week and spend 15 minutes up there and eventually it will look really nice!

Monday, March 26th
Monday - blech. I hate Mondays. Canon was cranky in the morning at Brooke's. Like mother like son I guess. Bill said Canon was being a goofball this morning. Bill would walk by and Canon would growl at him and then give him a big old smile. I haven't heard him growl yet but I'm sure I will soon :0( He has decided that he likes rice cereal more than milk so sometimes he just doesn't want his bottle, silly little one. I know once he starts eating the real good stuff it should be fun getting him to drink his bottle but we will see.
He was in a grreat mood tonite and that made me happy. We went outside and got the mail together and then got stuff out of my car. We played on the floor together with his gym. He took a nap a little after 6 and then was up by 7. Bill fed him his rice cereal and then we gave him a bath in a bigger tub. It is a ducky that is inflatable and it bigs inside the big tub, it also quacks when you squeeze its bill ;0) hee hee
He loved his bath and new tub and then was being a goofball while we were drying him off. He is such a precious cutie!
I missed him SO much at work today so I am working on downloading new pictures to my digital frame.

Weekend March 23-25
Well the weekend started off to a great start. Friday morning, I locked Canon and myself out of the house and the car. We had to call Justin at work to come pick us up (Joleen was too far away, and I did not feel like walking with Canon in the car seat). Joleen picked both of us up after work... Nice Job, Bill...
We lost our soccer game again on Friday (5-7). I did not score either (came close a few times, though...)
Saturday, we went to Great Grandma Zaske's and visited with Great Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa Zaske and Kayla. Then we went to the Dell store to buy a laptop for the Cookie Jar and Co (Ma Zaske's cookie business - Stay tuned for more info). We have dinner with them and then went home. Canon was such a good little boy all day. He played and slept... He fell asleep at the restaurant, he is a cutie...
Today (Sunday), Grandma and Grandpa came over to visit with Canon, before driving back to Coleman. After that, I went to work for a bit, Joleen and Canon played and slept in the afternoon. In the evening we went over to Uncle Conor and Aunt Beth's for dinner. They love to play with Canon and spoil him. He is a very lucky baby, he has a bunch of people who love him...
Good Night everyone...

Wednesday and Thursday March 21-22
Wednesday was a parenting group night. We had fun going to Kelly and Scott's home, meeting with the other parents and chatting about what it is like being a Mom and Dad. Canon was awesome, he played, cooed, laughed and was the precious little boy that he always is.
Today (Thursday) was vry warm after I came home from work, we went for a walk around the neighborhood (about a hour), it was really nice to get out of the house. Canon was looking around at everything. I imagine this is what he was thinking:
"Wow, look at that big blue stuff up there... I am going to call it the sky. I think I am going to name everything I see... Those are trees, that is a doggy... squirrels... birds... cars... Boy, Mom and Dad need to learn how to drive this thing... I think I am going to call it a Stroller... I am very cute!"
Have a great evening everyone...

Tuesday, March 20th
It was a typical Tuesday. Joleen had to go back to work today, so of courses she was a little grumpy. But, Canon and I just wished her a good day and sent her on her way this morning. I have been working late again, most of our office is working 50-60 hours a week. We have several major projects that need to be completed before May. So, we are all chipping in to help each other out, it is teamwork...
We found out that Grandma and Grandpa Zaske are coming down this weekend. That will be fun, Canon loves Grandma and Grandpa.

Monday, March 19
I have not been writing the blog lately so Bill said it was my turn to do it. Well I am thoroughly convinced that Canon always has "a case of the Mondays" on Mondays. He was kind of cranky and whiny today but for the most part he was pretty good. We cuddled a lot. He ate, slept, cuddled, and played.
I discovered that Canon likes to play peek-a-boo. It is SO cute. Everytime I said peek-a-boo he would smile and giggle. I LOVE when he giggles. It is so much fun. He is also just chattering a lot and Bill says he is just like his mama in that regard. My mom told me I was like that when I was little.
I am excited because we have parenting group this week and that will be lots of fun. The topic is adjusting to parenthood. If you ask me that is something they should cover right when you come out of the hospital ;0)
Well I must go and do some of the little boy's laundry ;0) Take care all!

Weekend March 17th and18th...
Good Evening everyone... It was St. Patrick's Day this weekend. I hope everyone is recovered from the "fun". To catch you up... Friday night, we lost our soccer game (again), but I scored a goal! That was my first goal of the season... I expect many more, now that I have the taste...
You could definitely tell it was St. Patrick's Day, because the Bar (The Blarney Stone) at the end of street is was packed at 8:30am. Joleen and Lisa, went shopping on Saturday. Canon and I went to Lisa and Mark's house, to watch the basketball games and spend time with the kids (Mark and Lisa have a little girl, Olivia, who is a 1 1/2). It was fun. After the girls came home, we got some pizza and played some cards.
Today, it was our normal Sunday morning, bagels and reading the paper (I read the paper, Joleen looks through the ads). We went shopping at Costco, Canon was doing really well, but then had a bit of a melt-down when he became hungry half-way through the store. Joleen took him over to the food court area and fed him while I waded through the crowds at the checkout. By the time I made it through, Canon was done eating. We started feeding him rice cereal twice a day, today. He loves the rice cereal, he just gobbles it up. Maybe next week, we will try oatmeal.
He is getting bigger and stronger. It still amazes us that the littlest things he can do that he could not just a few weeks ago. He now twists and turns whenever he wants. He laughs out loud and is grabbing everything he sees (note to the women in the audience: Do not wear nice jewelry around Canon...). I can only imagine what he will be like in another couple of months (yes, that Mensa van still rolls by the house...)
Have a wonderful evening everyone.

Thursday & Friday, March 15-16
Thursday
Not much new today just getting through Thursday so Friday and the weekend can come! While giving Canon a bath we are learning that his bathtub is not so good for him now that he is older. We are looking into another solution because we want him to be comfortable during bathtime. He is also learning to splash a little, it is pretty cute. I went to Target and found some more cute clothes for him. I really must stop and I am trying...
Friday
Today I got to spend a lot of time in the lab and quite a bit of time training with Frank. I also got the okay that I can move into my new cube so I started to move stuff in this afternoon. I was kind of sad but I am sure I will get over it. My biggest challenge right now will be figuring out how to get my fridge into my new cube!
Canon had kind of a cranky day at daycare so when I brought him home we didn't play much and Bill put him in his crib so he could take a nap and he was in a good mood when he woke up. He didn't blow many raspberries today though.
Bill has another soccer game tonite. I hope they do well. I will be sure to post the score tomorrow. Tomorrow I am going shopping with my friend Lisa so I can't wait. I may even buy some mommy clothes, what a concept. I noticed that Canon's wardrobe is must more extensive than mine and he is pretty set and I need to look at mine now!

1/2 way through the week - yee haw!!!!! I have made progress in my baby clothes addiction! My friend asked me to go to Carter's today and I turned her down. I need to spend my Carter's cheques but I want to go to the one by my house. We need bibs since the little guy is eating rice cereal now! He really likes it and always finishes all of it! It is SO fun watching him eat and feeding him!
His new trick is blowing raspberries. It is SO cute! He was so chatty tonite and kept doing the raspberries noise. He was in a good mood so we had a good time after work.
He also it starting to like his jumperoo so that is fun to watch too. He has had good days at daycare all week and has been going on walks there. The rice cereal seems to be agreeing with him too because he has had dirty diapers (6 a day). What a little pooper ;0)
Well I must get ready for bed now, good night.

Day number 2, of the rice cereal. Canon really likes tbe rice cereal, he eats 5-6 spoonfuls and does not seem to mind the taste. He was a little cranky this afternoon, Joleen gets mad at me because as soon as Canon sees me in the evenings, he stops crying and starts to smile. He is such a little cutey...
Work is going well... Joleen is learning her new job. All and all things are going very well.
Have a good evening.

Sunday, March 11
What a fun weekend! Yesterday I went to a mom2mom sale with my new friend Sam. These sales are kind of ruthless. There were women lined up outside the door and they will mow you down to get to the big ticket items - yikes! For those of you who don't know what they are it is a bunch of moms that rent tables and sell their kids toys and clothes. The big ticket items are baby things like cribs and strollers and little kitchens and other fun stuff.
It is funny our new friends our Sam and Chris and my parents have friends named Sam and Chris but our genders are switched ;0) Anyway Sam and I are there for like 10 minutes and I had to call Bill because I found a huge tugboat sandbox with cover for $25. We thought we would be able to fit it into Sam's jeep but we were wrong so I called Bill and he brought the trailblazer with the trailer behind it so Sam & I could stay and do some more shopping. I bought a couple of cute things too.
When I got home we then went to Great Lakes Crossing and took a few things back to Carters and bought some summer clothes. I think I need to take inventory and may need to take some back. That seems to happen to Bill & I. We sometimes buy a lot of clothes and then realize we went overboard. I know, surprise, surprise! We then went to The Baby's Room and picked up the rails for Canon's convertible crib. They have been waiting for us to pick them up for 3 months now. After that we went to Babies R Us and looked at umbrella strollers but we decided the stroller we have should work for what we need. We big run into Brooke and her sister (my bud) Sarah. Poor Sarah was registering and was feeling a bit overwhelmed, boy do we remember what that was like. We also helped another couple figure out the stroller they were looking at (same as ours) by showing them how easy it was to break down and how easy it is to get Canon in and out. They were so greatful to us. We did buy a hook-on highchair. It is the same one Ian has and he seems to love it so we got it for the Grandmas houses and restaurants. We also got some cute Detroit Tigers gear for the little man. We had lots of fun!
Today Bill did demo in the basement. He tore down all the ceiling tile and put it in bags. It was like 4 or 5 huge bags full. He also cleaned up down there and moved the furniture out of the way. We picked our carpeting tile last week and we just need to see if any reps can get us a better deal than having to pay shipping.
We also took a walk around the neighborhood. Canon LOVED it. He LOVES walks! When we got back we gave him rice cereal! We got all psyched up for it and he was really good...
It is Bill's turn to throw his spin on the rice cereal:
So, there we were sitting in the Dining Room ( I know big surprise, we ate at the table). Canon was sitting in his Baby Tenda (a really expensive eating table thingy, that we just had to have). I am sure he is thinking:
"...Why are Mom and Dad sitting next to me? What is Dad mixing 'my milk' with? Why is Mom taking pictures with that huge camera? That is an interesting bowl, it is green and I sure it resembles a frog (although I do not know what a frog is). Mom is putting this odd towel around my neck. Wait a minute, Dad gave Mom the bowl and he took the camera. Mom is feeding me something. It tastes sort of like milk, but with a weird texture. What is this stuff..."
That is when he turned and looked at Joleen with the look of, what was that? He ate a few more spoonfuls, much more than we had planned on. He did soooo well. He went to bed tonight without a fuss. He is such a good little boy.
Have a great evening everyone!!

Friday, March 9th
Canon is 5 months today! sniff sniff. He is growing up so fast. He had another good day at daycare. It was funny Brooke called me today to tell me how cute he looked in his outfit and then a couple hours later he pooped through it :0( He was all smiling and laughing about it too. That's our Canon.
It was such a nice day down here that Brooke bundled up the kids and took them out for a walk and I guess Canon really liked that. I think we will try to take some walks this weekend too.
Bill is at a soccer game. They tied last time so maybe this time they will win by one ;0)
Good night all. This is a short entry because I'm tired.

Thursday, March 8
Today was a good day at daycare for Canon today. He took a nap in the morning and then one in the afternoon. Brooke said he was spitting up a lot and coughing. He didn't spit up tonite at all but he was coughing. We got some Johnson & Johnson vapor bath last weekend so we drew up a bath and put that in it and it seemed to help the little guy.
He fell aslep around 8 so Bill swaddled him and put him in his crib and he went to sleep. He loves to be swaddled. He looks up at you and smiles because he knows its bedtime ;0)
Well nothing else to say really. Good night all.

Wednesday, March 7th
Today started pretty early for the Zaske's. I had to be at work at 7:00 in order to get to Schoolcraft by 8:00, the roads were a mess, thanks to a March winter storm. Canon was good little boy for Daddy, this morning.
Work is pretty crazy right now. I have lots of balls to juggle. Comerica announiced yesterday that they are moving it's HQ to Dallas, Tx. Not to worry though (Grandmoms), Joleen's job is not moving to Texas (not yet anyways).
We had our parenting group tonight. It was fun, we learn about feeding Canon, what to start out with and what not to feed him right away. It was at Sam and Chris' home here in Berkley. They are a very nice couple with their little one Alex. They also ride motorcycles...
Have a great evening!

We had our parenting group tonight. It was fun, we learn about feeding Canon, what to start out with and what not to feed him right away. It was at Sam and Chris' home here in Berkley. They are a very nice couple with their little one Alex. They also ride motorcycles...
Have a great evening!

Tuesday, March 6
So there was a HUGE announcement at Comerica today. It only affects corporate not I.S. which is where I am but apparently we are moving our corporate headquarters to Dallas, TX. There will be 200 people moving there over the next 3 years. We believe this is happening to head off any banks that may try to purchase us. Our stock is at a reasonable price right now and that concerns us. Another fact is that Michigan isn't growing anymore and we need to distance ourself from the auto industry. We already lost when Kmart went under so we are trying to prevent that with any auto companies.
I guess today was another rough day for Canon. He gets so cranky sometimes. I guess he liked the exersaucer Brooke put him in for about 10 minutes and then he was done with that. He slept a total of 20 minutes today and then came home tonite and took about a 2 hr nap. After his nap he was all fun and games ;0) We think that we will try rice cereal with him this weekend and will get out his feeding table this week to get him used to it. I think we are already having a tough time with this HUGE milestone. We keep putting it off ;0) Oh well.
I was holding Canon tonite and OMG I started to feel something warm and wet, at first I thought it was drool but I was SO wrong, he PEED ON ME! I thought it was poo so that would have been worse but he got me all wet and the couch, silly boy. He smiled, sometimes I think he plans these things.... :0)
Well I must do some chores before bed so goodnight all!

Monday, March 5
So I spent all day with Canon today. He picked today to have a growth spurt. He played in his gym a lot this morning and took a nap from 9-10:30. He pretty much played in his gym all day practicing his new trick (rolling over). He did to the right and to the left and is very close to doing from back to tummy. He also ate a lot and then slept.
He has been a handful tonite though. He keeps waking up and Bill and I keep cuddling him and putting him back to bed. We think he has some burps that he can't get out - poor little guy.
Not much else to blog about. Good Night All!

Sunday, March 4th
Here I sit after cleaning up the kitchen and putting in a load of laundry while my boys sleep. Bill went to bed early because he wasn't feeling well. I am staying up because I have a few "important" things to do before I go to bed ;0)
I went to Target today to get diapers, wipes, snacks - stuff like that. I also was trying to exchange some baby clothes at Old Navy but that didn't work out well. I then went to Kohls and found like 5 pairs of pants for like $10, I was SO happy. Canon has tons of onesies but not a lot of pants. He seems to be having at least one if not two blowouts a day so I don't think we can have too many clothes!
I guess while I was gone, Canon rolled over! He rolled over from his tummy onto his back. Bill was afraid to tell me but I am glad. I hope he does more of it tomorrow. He is now practicing rolling from back to stomach. He is a determined little guy and so much fun. He loves to play with his gym now. He grabs the monkey and the pineapple guy and likes to chew on them. He seems to be putting everything in his mouth these days. We tried the jumperoo again and he made it move a couple of times but he is still unsure about it.
Well I should go ;0)

Saturday, March 3rd
Canon has been kind of a crank today but he let us sleep until 7 so we were happy about that! Canon played with his gym today and kept putting the monkey in his mouth. He is starting to grab things and put everything into his mouth. He has this giraffe that is on his bouncer but can be taken off that he loves to chew on and play with. We even took it to the game last night. He really likes it. I think his favorite color is yellow. His current favorites are the giraffe and a stuffed duck that quacks.
Bill & Conor went to the gym in the morning and Beth and I watched Canon. When they got back Beth & I went and ran into the worst traffic jam around the zoo. We didn't know what was going on and we didn't move for 30 minutes. Once we got to the gym a lady told us they were having a job fair. It was a perfect example of how bad Michigan's economy is!
When we got back Conor had made breakfast burritos, YUMMY! Bill and I didn't think we had the ingredients but Conor looked in the fridge and said you sure do so he whipped some up. We have the best friends. They love to hang out with us and Canon.
Well good night I am going to spend time with my boys!

I was SO glad today was Friday. Canon had another good day at daycare. We have to keep track cuz it is sometimes rare.
Well I finished cleaning out my cube. It is amazing what you accumulate after 8 years in one spot! It felt so liberating!
We went to Bill's soccer game, a new season has started. They tied 5-5. Everyone was SO proud! I met Kevin and his fiancee Erica and they were really nice. They are going to get married in Hawaii so I was telling her all about our honeymoon. 7 years ago, sniff sniff. Beth & Conor came to the game also and got their Canon fix and got to see Bill play.
After the game we got some chicken nuggets and shamrock milkshakes. Yes, they are out everyone! WOO HOO! Bring on March!

Canon had another good day at daycare. Hooray! I think he did poop through his outfit which is the usual for him. The one day he went through 2 outfits, he had to borrow one of Ian's sweatshirt jackets! Good thing Brooke has a little one!
Uncle Joe stayed the night on Wednesday and he was there when we got home on Thursday so it was nice to see him. He hadn't seen Canon since Christmas and couldn't believe how much bigger he was and how much more he looks like Bill. We introduced Joe to Potbellys that night, and he really liked it.
Bill also got his new phone that work is paying for so it makes it even more cool. It has a camera, keypad, internet enabled, syncs up to email and just about does anything. It is cool and Joe was jealous cuz he thought his phone was it until he saw Bill's ;0)
