Things can run somewhat smooth…

When you live by a routine.  Zach has been sleeping really well for the past 3/4 of the month and he goes right to sleep when we lay him down.  I think I am actually understanding his queues better than I did with Andy.  He is growing like a weed.  At his 4 month appointment he weighed 15.8 pounds, he was 24 3/4 inches long and his head was 48.3 cm.  The doctor told us that he was going to be pretty smart from the size of his noggin, lol.  I guess large heads run in the family.  Thankfully he came 3 weeks early otherwise we might have had to have another emergency c-section. 

Some new things going on with Zach: he is starting to roll over, has more head control and lifting during tummy time, he’s not a fan of cereal or water yet, he is starting to like playing with certain toys (he likes his monkey maracas from Aunt Shela).  He loves to have his diaper changed, he will just smile and coo away at whoever is changing his diaper.  He is already wearing his 6-9 month clothes and some of that is too small.  He is really beginning to suck his fingers (more so his thumb) rather than his pacifier.  When we take his thumb out of his mouth you hear this huge popping sound and then see his little face squench up in this sad pout and then a blood curdling cry.  He doesn’t like people to take his thumb away.  I don’t know if we are going to win this battle because even when I put mittens on his hands he finds a way to get one off and immediately sticks that thumb in his mouth.

Andy gets to start swim lessons and Lego club today.  Lego club is done through his school and then we are doing the swim lessons through the YMCA.  Today was also crazy hair day at school so Andy wanted a mohawk.  It turned out really cool but not something I want to see all the time, lol.  He is doing well in school but still has some attention issues.

I need to organize my photos so I can get them on here.  Our wireless router does not seem to be working at this time so that will slow down any organizing until I can ask Eric to fix it.

That’s it for now but I will try to post the pictures of Andy’s mohawk soon.
