My Sweet Boys

Things are starting to go very nicely here.  My wonderful husband ordered us new windows that are being installed as I type.  He is also working on updating the fort for the boys so there won’t be anymore splinters (at least for the next year or so).  I have been working on planning a birthday party for Andrew who is going to be 6 years old. I can’t believe it.  He is such a great child.  He can bring me lots of joy when he is in the right mood.  Today he is at school and it is just me and Daddy at home with Zach.

I got to go and get Andy from school today while daddy stayed home with Zach napping.  Andy’s PE teacher told be he was being silly in class today and that all the other kids followed his example.  He loves to be silly and it is hard for him to understand when is not okay to be silly.  I think he is really starting to look forward to summer break.  Not sure how ready I am for that though.  Andy has been taking swimming lessons and will continue until he is able to swim the length of the pool and back without any trouble.  He is doing fantastic.  I can’t wait to see what progress he will make in the month of April.  Even though he and I have difficulty understanding each other I still would not trade him for the world.

Zach is starting to roll over from his back to his tummy now.  He has been rolling from his tummy to back for about a month or so but yesterday he started rolling back to tummy.  He still is not a fan of tummy time though.  Zach is also working on and making great strides toward being able to sit unassisted.  He is really starting to play with toys now and that makes things a little easier.  Now the entertaining toys can be of some entertaining.  We tried green beans a few days ago and Zach was not a fan.  We had to stop the cereal because it was constipating him.  He doesn’t seem to care for juice either unless he is super hungry.  I was looking at pictures of Zach when he was born and saw so many changes in the last five months.  He drools a lot and one would think that he was teething but I haven’t found anything.  Also he insists on having his thumb to suck on over his pacifier.  I have tried to discourage that but it works for him when we don’t get there to put the pacifier in.

It has been a real treat to have Eric home today.  We saw just enough of one another that it didn’t become too much.  It reminds me of how very blessed I am to have such a great husband, who doesn’t have to travel (at the present time), loves his job but more importantly loves his family very much.  I love you sweetie! ;)

Here are a few pictures of the family this past month.  Have a blessed week, Stephany
