4 Months

We've been through a lot in the last month! After a month's worth of doctor's visits, nurse's visits, and lots of heartache, we have finally learned that Zach has an intolerance for milk. So as of this weekend, we have started him on soy formula and things seem to be improving. Simple, I know, but it's been a LONG journey to reach this end. We are so relieved to know that this is something we can fix! And he seems to be adjusting well!

Despite all of the issues he has been through this past month, Zach is still growing and learning new things constantly! He keeps us laughing with his little coos and giggles as well as his desperate attempts to blow raspberries back at his daddy! He is rolling over about 3/4's of the way from back to belly and has flipped several times independently from belly to back. He is a wiggle worm who loves action and activity. The days are spent rotating between the swing, the bouncer, the floor, playing various games in each. He is a bundle of energy who hates to miss the party but who needs naps badly! He has also learned to use his hands so well in the last few weeks and is really enjoying toys in his hands. He has been a joy to us, but definitely keeps us on our toes!

Here's a picture after his first shots. He cried for just a second, but glared at us on the way out and on the way home. I think he thought we were the meanest parents ever! And so it begins....
