5 Months Old!








Zachary is now 5 months old! I am a few days late in posting this, but Joey and I are really enjoying our last few weeks of Summer with Zachary. We both go back to work on August 23rd. It's going to be tough to leave him!

-He is so strong, smart, and active!

-I am amazed at how observant he is. He really checks out everything around him wherever we go.

-He is still rolling around everywhere, but he now also scoots on his tummy AND back.

-He arches his back and balances on his head in a backbend position! His neck is incredibly strong!

-He is still sleeping through the night! (He eats A LOT before bed, goes to sleep between 9-9:30pm, and sleeps until 6:30-7:00am)

-He now eats rice cereal and avocado. He seems to enjoy them both very much.

-He loves his exer-saucer! (Thanks Lisa!!)

-He really likes watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and "Special Agent Oso" on the Disney Channel! His faces lights up when he sees these shows!

-He HATES his car seat so much! :( I now sing the ABC song to him when I put him in and that helps.......most of the time!

-He is wearing size 3 diapers! He still fits in the 2's, but was peeing out of the top of them at night so we moved him up a size.

-He is reaching and grabbing for anything and everything....and of course everything goes straight into his mouth!

-He laughs and smiles a lot! We often get comments fom people saying what a happy baby he is!

Here are some highlights of Zachary's 5th Month!



He has found his toes!

He is enjoying his time in the exer-saucer!
(Thanks to Lisa who graciously let us have the exer-saucer that her two boys used!)


Mmmm....Avocado!



Hooray!
He loves riding in his stroller like a big boy, facing forward, and out of the car seat!
WHAT A WONDERFUL SUMMER WE HAVE HAD!

  2. Sweet boy! I will meet you one day!
    Molly HATED the car seat. From birth to about 8 months she SCREAMED from point A to point B. She out gtrew it eventually but it was so stressful to be in the car. It helped when she was out of the carrier and in the regular seat.
