Zachary. 4 months.

I just can't believe how quickly babies grow.  It is so fun to watch Zach grow and develop but so sad to see him leave the newborn stage behind.  He is still such a happy, smiley baby who loves to have attention and be held.  He has such a sweet special bond with each of us, but he especially lights up whenever Brady or Olivia smile and act silly with him.  Olivia can get him laughing harder than anyone!

Some things he has learned to do:  Blow raspberries with his tongue and stick it out.  He thinks this is funny and laughs and smiles when he does it!


Tummy Time:  Zach has been super strong right from birth, just as Brady and Olivia were.  Aside from the normal "newborn bobble-head" they all have been able to hold their heads up and look up and around with no problem.  People always commented about this with each of my babies.  Zach has no problem laying on his tummy and holding his head up.  He could probably do this indefinately, but he would much rather flip himself back over onto his back!!  That's right folks....we'll have a roller anytime soon!



I left the room for 2.5 minutes to switch the laundry over and before I knew it I heard some unusual movement upstairs...that's right, he rolled/scooted about 5 feet off from his blanket onto the cold hardwood floor!  Poor baby was only his in diaper because I was running to get his pj's!!!



Zach likes it when his big brother sings to him and lately Brady has been holding him in front of himself like this and "dancing" with Zach, who of course, thinks it's hilarious!!!

Look who is sitting up in his Bumbo!!! 
(For the record, we tried some oatmeal cereal this week...not a hit...yet!)

Weight:  He had weighed 17 lbs, but has been sick for over a week now and is down to 15.6 lbs.
Height: 25 1/4" 
Disposition: Happy!
Loves to:  Hold mommy's finger while being fed, laugh, kick his feet, grab anything near to him (mommy's hair, earrings, necklace...) watch colorful TV shows, look at himself in the mirror and snuggle
with daddy in the recliner
