6 Months Old

My little man is 6 months old! He is sitting up by himself now, rolling around all over the place, eating food, drinking from a sippy cup, and getting close to crawling. We all went to Aruba this month and had to get him a passport. It's adorable! 

Aruba was so much fun! We went with Stephanie and Rob and was all of our first time going to Aruba. It was also Zach's first time flying which I was really stressed about, but he did a really good job and fell asleep every time during take off (because of the noise). He cried maybe a minute total for each flight. 

We stayed at the Marriott Surf Club. The hotel was beautiful, the pool was amazing with a lazy river and the beach and water were perfect. 

His first time trying oranges and he loved it! It kept him nice and busy during dinner.

He had a good nap on the beach

We got him a little baby float that he could sit in and he loved it! He kept trying to bite the plastic.

Trying to get around Aruba was really confusing because the maps didn't have all of the street names on it. Luckily Dan and Rob were still able to figure it out. 

Such a fun vacation! I miss it already. 

5 Months Old

Another month has come and gone so fast. He's 5 months old and this has probably been the best month so far. He is smiling all the time, sleeping better (only wakes up 2 times at night), rolling all over the place, talking a lot, and loves to play. He is 27 in. tall and weighs 16 lbs.

It was his first time in a pool and he loved it! They stayed in there for a long time splashing in the water. 

Dad loves when he plays with a baseball! He's basically ready to go pro

Trying out his new hat for the beach!

This was his first time trying cereal. He was actually super fussy and was pretty upset during most of it (mainly because we kept taking the spoon away to get him more food). The next day he liked it a lot better. 

The aftermath. 

Playing in his new toy that he loves! 

He is sucking on his lower lip all the time. 

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.
