Winter Hat

Zach has been sporting his winter hat on these cold, snowy winter days.  He looks like a different baby without his hair line :)

Just Chillin

Here are some pics of Zach today just hanging out in Daddy's favorite chair.  All he needs is a remote :)

The Cutest Brothers

Santa's Little Elf

4 Month Check Up

Zach had his 4 month well visit last week.  Doctor said everything looks great.  He is a very healthy boy, weighing in at 15.69 lbs (69%) and 25.5 inches long (74%).  Here are some pictures of Zach bouncing around in the "Jakey Jumper"! 

Decorating X-mas Tree

Zach was entertained by watching Mommy and Jake put ornaments on the Christmas Tree this morning.  Here are some pics of his reactions to our decorating.





Hang that one right there.

  


Oh no, this doesn't look good.

 

Take cover, the ornaments are flying off.




Safe.  Thank goodness this is done.

 

Size Comparison

Zach was laying on a blanket this evening and was looking pretty long.  We decided to put Jake right next to him for a size comparison.  Of course Zach has a long way to go, but for 16 weeks it is pretty impressive.

So Strong

Zach is getting stronger every day.  He is now resting on his elbows during "tummy time" and grabbing at everything in sight.  It is amazing how quickly they build strength!

Cereal

I don't know what it is about this boy, but he seems to be doing everything a little bit earlier than Jake (may be because Mommy is a little more adventurous with #2).  But we often struggle with Zach to take his bottle (not that it hurts him to miss a meal, he is plenty big :)  So we decided to try a little cereal last night.  Zach was a pro!!!  Immediately he opened his mouth when the spoon got close and ate the cereal with no problem.  He was looking at me like bring it on!

Exersaucer

Zach is getting bored with laying on the floor and playing, so we decided to bring out the exersaucer for some entertainment help.  Zach loves being able to stand up and play with different things.  He is still a little unsteady, so we put him in backwards with blankets behind to help prop him up.

Papa's Boys

Zach and Jake were so excited to spend special time with Nana & Papa over Thanksgiving weekend.  Here are some pics of Papa and his grandsons.

Happy Saturday

Here are some pics of Zach hanging out this morning!  He is such a happy guy :)

Things That Make You Go Hmm!

Zach is in deep dream thought.

Thumb Sucker

We have a thumb sucker on our hands.  Zach will take a pacifier every now and then, but he really prefers his thumb.  It is pretty cute, however, Mommy is a little worried because you can't take a thumb away like a pacifier.

Lil Stinker

Zach experienced his first Trick or Treat!!  He was a skunk.  We thought that was an appropriate costume since Rudy was sprayed by a skunk the night before Zach was born.  Zach did well in the beginning, but then it got cold and all that walking around wore him out so he fell asleep in the front pack.  We made it about an hour before calling it quits and getting back inside to warm up :)
