Zach's 4 months old!

Yes, that's right - 4 months already!! I can't believe it!

Zach is fully in control of his head now, and is very close to being in full control of sitting up. He can sit well in his Bumbo, and loves spending time in the Exersaucer. He's a happy boy, smiling almost all of the time. He's become quite independent, wanting to hold the bottle as he's being fed, and pulling his cork (pacifier) out when he's done with it. He also plays with quite a few toys, loves to take Mom or Dad's hand and stick their fingers into his mouth (we have to make sure we wash our hands first!), and enjoys watching anyone or anything. He's recently discovered Squiggles ("Iggles" to Alex), so that's another fun thing to watch at home.

We were able to snap a shot of the 4-month man! :) (yes, that's the shirt Alex wore on Easter - Zach was anything but "cranky" in it! Another testament to how much bigger Zach is than Alex)......


Of course, anything that happens to Zach, Alex wants the same thing. So I went to take a picture of Alex, told him to smile, and this is what I got.....

Then a wry smile......notice the new train - James - that we got at the store. Alex was a good listener while we were out shopping, so he was able to choose a new train. James was his choice to add to Thomas, Percy, Salty, and Gordon.
We'll head to the Dr. sometime this week to get Zach's 4-month checkup taken care of. If you'd like to wager on his weight, we're up for some friendly competition. :) We're also going to try to adjust the boys bedtimes to next week's time change (I HATE time changes!!).......that's always "fun" to try to get them adjusted......springing forward is the WORST!
Wish us luck - and thanks for reading! :)
