All about our boy

 

Our baby Zachary is four months old today. Wow! He is growing way too quickly! I just love this sweet little boy and I wish I could keep him small and snuggly in my arms forever. But it is also so much fun to watch him grow.

I've been meaning to do a Zach-focused blog post for a few months now, but life is a lot busier with three children. So finally, here is a recap of his first four months.

From the start, Zach has been showered with love (and toys) by his sisters. Sometimes their love can be a little overzealous, but they mean well (usually)!

2 weeks old. He slept a lot!

 Three weeks old. Still sleepy.

One month old. Hurray-he does open his eyes!

I love the baby in the towel photos.

The girls love to hold Zach. For quite awhile, Lily was saying "Me hold it". Now she can say "Me hold Zach".

Father and son.

Zach spends a fair amount of time in his car seat, while we run around town for various activities with the girls (swimming, the pet store, splash park, etc). He is a very good sport about it, even in the yucky Florida heat.

He even naps in his chair.

Two months old. What a handsome boy!

We were busy on vacation, so sadly we kind of missed the three month mark. :(

But here he is, such a big boy in his new chair.

And here he is today, four months old.

Zach is a very good baby. He likes to be swaddled with his arms wrapped tight to sleep, although he has started to work himself free. He takes a binky, but he also loves to chew on his fingers. He takes 2 or 3 naps a day for about an hour each, and is in bed between 7-8 pm. We're still working on sleeping through the night. 

He talks/sings a lot. Here is a cute little video of him singing with Grandma while we were in Utah.

He gives us lots of smiles and laughs. He can hold things in his hands now, and quickly catches on if a hand or arm or toy comes within reach.

We love this boy and are so happy to have in our family.
