more halloween costume pics-doesnt he look so thrilled!

First halloween!

Well we survived our first Halloween! Yes it was actually quite exciting. Daddy was ready to snap a quick photo at any time while out an about with family. Zachary was interested simply in looking around at everything while mom and dad were so excited to see him in his CUTE little pumpkin outfit

The girls had fun running from door to door for candy. I am so glad we didn't have to take home ANY candy LOL. no thank you! All in all it was a great night and I was very happy everyone was there to enjoy it too.

first tooth-rolling over

well baby boy is growing fast now! we have our first tooth! YAY!! it is one of the two front bottom teeth. it is not quite all the way out but its getting there!

He also learned today to roll all the way over! what a proud mommy I am. Watch out kitties you are no longer safe!!

I cant believe he is almost 6 months old already...where has the time gone!?

baby pictures

baby food

well I am experimenting with making baby food for Zach. Today is squash and carrots. I also picked up some avocado, bananas and sweet potato to cook up. they had some yo baby yogurts that I decided might also be good for him so I will mix in some oatmeal and try that as well. I want Zach to have a wide variety of things to try so maybe when he's older he will like more veggies and fruits than I like!
I've noticed so far he likes texture as opposed to fully pureed foods. we got him some all natural apple sauce that he really likes and its a bit lumpy.

And they just keep growing...

Well this always happens. A month goes by, and I finally decide I better update this thing before I start hearing about it! Zachary is a weed. He is getting so big! I better stop feeding him or else he is just gonna keep growing. I want to keep him small.

Zach has an exersaucer that he absolutely loves. It has a bunch of toys that make noise and light up on it and to see his little face light up with a giant grin is priceless. I will have to get some pictures of him and post them for you all. he is learning that he can put some of the toys in his mouth and gnaw on them and gets upset if he just cant maneuver it enough to get it in. The dog loves it when he is in the toy so he can lick his feet and his little face is at a good level to give him a great big kiss across the face. GROSS!! I caught Sammy doing that once and screamed! We are very impressed however how much the dog LOVES the baby. I cant wait until Zach gets bigger and starts chasing the dog...hopefully we will have a nice house and yard by then.

well its back to work for me. I have added some cute pics of little man from our recent photo opp at home. isn't he just so cute!!

Holly Cow its September

Where has the time gone?! In 5 days Zachary is going to be 4 months old. I cant believe it. It seems like we just were in the hospital for his birth....yep no baby amnesia yet...still DON'T want another!
Zach had his 4 month check up this week. He has reached 15 pounds. WOW. He is happy and healthy and we are now starting our newest adventures of experiencing big boy foods. we had some apple sauce and peaches and mommy snuck a few bites of watermelon in here and there too. YUM YUM....

We are getting set to sell the condo and looking to find a house ASAP...need to get outta this place before we lose our minds. Its WAY too small for all of us. We have to get the condo ready and are going to be selling the place ourselves. (PS if anyone knows someone wanting a nice 1 bedroom condo please let us know!) the next step will be buying zach some furniture for his new room. we will need a dresser and a big boy bed (the bed isnt an immediate need obviously) the dresser is however something that would be a definite need.
