4 Months Old

Weight: 16 lbs.

Height: 24"

Sounds: Loves to talk and make random noises all the time. 

Hates: Being swaddled. He always didn't like it, but without it he would wake up every 20 minutes. Now he is strong enough to break out of it, so I would walk in after his nap and his legs and arms would be sticking out of the swaddle in a super uncomfortable way. 

Loves: His baby carrier. He loves it! Holding things with his hands and being outside

I can't believe he is already 4 months old! It seems to go by so fast. I feel like this is a great age now because I am able to go to stores without him crying. He is also liking the car and car seat more which is great because I always feel awful when we have to drive anywhere because he cries so loud!

Fathers Day:

They got matching ties

LBI

Every year Dan's family and some friends go down the shore and spend the week at LBI this is our 4th or 5th year doing it and Zach's first time. It was a lot of fun and Zach loved it. He played in the sand and put his feet in the ocean. 

  I accidentally kicked some sand on Zach! I felt so bad, but he didn't seem to mind it.

Beautiful sun set

Zach loves this baby carrier! We tried 3 others before this and he didn't like any of them. Someone gave us this and he loves it! I can finally go to the grocery store and know I have more than 5 minutes before he starts to cry. It's amazing.  

Miniature golfing is a tradition every time we are here.

He loves his wabbanub and play yard!

3 Months Old

(He wasn't in the mood to smile for this one)

Sounds: Loves trying to talk, makes lots of gaw, and nee sounds

Hates: When you sit down too long while holding him, being in the carseat, driving in the car

Loves: Making bubbles, sucking on his hands and fingers, drooling, rolling around on his back. holding things, looking at himself in the mirror

Facial Expressions: He makes all sorts of facial expressions. It's still mainly a serious face or smiling

Easter:

Dan said the bunny ears were girly, but I though they were adorable! :)

Mothers Day

 I was really excited for this Mother's Day since it was my first! Last Mother's Day was really hard for me because Dan and I had been trying for a couple of months to get pregnant without any luck yet so this year made me that much more grateful to have Zach in my life and be a mother :). For my gift, Dan watched Zach all day on Saturday while Shelby and I went to New York. Also, he got me a garage door opener because it was a wood door that you needed to manually open so I never parked in the garage which was a pain. 

Still loves his diaper changer!

He loves just hanging out in his diaper since it is getting warmer and doesn't like when I try to put his clothes on

He did not like being in his car seat or the car, but he is slowly getting less fussy while in it. Hanging toys on his handle helps or rolling the windows down, having someone in the backseat with him, or having his binky in his mouth

Loves spending time with Daddy

Shelby!

Shelby came out and visited us!!! It was really fun having her here and I miss her like crazy already. I am still trying to figure out a way to get her to move out here (along with the rest of my family) but I haven't had much success yet.

 We Spent a Day in New York and left the two boys at home:

Shelbys first time on the subway 

Time Square

She did this to piss Dan off. We took o few more, but he deleted them off the camera haha

The Chelsea Market was pretty legit

We also did a day in the city:

 We always take people here because we love it so much!
