Happenings of the Zach-man

We took Zach in yesterday for some shots and found out he weighs 12 lbs 13 ozs! That means he gained a pound in 1 month. Not that that is a huge gain, but it is significant for us. Thank goodness for soy formula! Z has been really fun to be around lately. His body awareness and control has really improved which means he can now enjoy more toys, like his Baby Einstein jumper and Johnny-Jump Up. He is also rolling both ways now (when he feels like it) and really ENJOYING tummy time! He is babbling new sounds every day and Scott and I PROMISE that he is answering questions we ask him by saying "uh-UH!" I know it sounds silly, but it has happened appropriately too many times now to discount it!

Thanks to my friend, Katie, we tried out Kindermusik last week. Zach LOVED it! His class consists of about 6-8 other kids from ages 0-18 months. Zach is the youngest in his class but don't tell him that. He thinks that the other kids are so cool and thinks he is as old as they are. My little turkey has even been trying to lean out of my lap to crawl like the other kids! I keep having to remind him that he is going to face plant if he does it. He doesn't seem to care. We sang lots of nursery rhymes and danced and did motions with them. We even got to use egg shakers and bang on a bongo drum. Zach was right in there banging on the drum with the rest of the kids. I knew his daddy would be proud! We are going to finish out the term with the class and see how he does.

Here's a picture of Zach before church last week. We thought it would be funny to send him with a mohawk since his hair tends to naturally do that. We thought it complemented the rocker shirt. Too cute!
