2 Month Update

Zach went in this week for his 2 month checkup. He weighed 10 lbs. 2 ozs. and was 21 3/4 inches long. Although still only in the 15th percentile on weight and height, he is growing perfectly! He has been so much fun lately as he has started trying to coo here and there when he is smiling at us. I think he even scares himself sometimes when he makes a noise! He definitely values his naps right now-one in the swing, one on his mama, and one in his crib. Don't mix them up or skip one. He will make sure you pay! Things have been relatively uneventful as of late. We are just enjoying our time with him. He's been so squirmy lately that my camera has trouble focusing on him! I will try to get a picture up sometime soon.

Walking with Zach

Scott, Maggie, Zach, and I all went out for a walk this afternoon. Zach decided he didn't want a nap and it was 70 degrees so we strapped him in and went for a walk. He fell asleep not far past the driveway! I think he enjoyed it, but he did not like getting strapped in! I can't say I blame him. Maggie ran into the stroller only once...she's a smart dog. Thank you Paw Paw and Leah for the stroller. It was a lifesaver in more ways than one!

Zach's first trip

After a long trip home

We decided to travel for Christmas this year. Zach was 5 weeks old on Christmas Eve. First we went to Searcy to be with Scott's family for Christmas. Poor Zach got sick the day before we left for Searcy so his time with his Nanna and Papa wasn't as much fun as usual. He had a pretty bad belly ache. But Christmas Day was highlighted by some quiet time with Nanna while everyone else played outside with the new game, Cosmic Keepaway. We stayed with my Nana while we were there and enjoyed a wonderful day on Friday with her while waiting on Scott to come back from working in Jonesboro.

Next, we went to Malvern for Christmas with my family. Zach and I stayed until Tuesday and had fun with his "Leah", Paw Paw, Auntie May, and Uncle James. Days were highlighted with early mornings with Leah and naps on Paw Paw. But most of all, he was treated to the best swing in the world! Needless to say, we bought the same swing and had it delivered to our house in Jonesboro before we got back! It has been a lifesaver!

Zach finally started to feel better around Sunday and enjoyed a long nap on the ride home Tuesday. He did great traveling in the car! My only hope is that he doesn't get sick the day before our next excursion!
