Zachary Tries Peas

So Kevin and I were soooooo excited to finally feed our little... ok well big guy baby food. I went to the store and bought every vegetable flavor there was! Got home put him in his highchair, he was super happy, he seemed excited too! He was ready to have some food; that was until he tasted his first taste of peas!! The look on his face was classic, HE HATED it!!! Kevin and I thought well maybe its just the peas... so we tried Carrots I'm not sure if he was just already super upset that he hated peas so much or if he hated Carrots more... I will post the pictures that we took later, but one thing is for sure; it looks like we have a stubborn baby on our hands! We are just going to keep trying... I tried this morning and same thing, he didn't like it. When he is ready he will eat :)

November 5, 2008- Zachary's 1/2 Birthday!

Hello... It's so hard to find the time to be on the computer... when I have a ton of others things to do when my baby boy is sleeping, or when I'm working.
Anyway... Our baby boy is now 6 months old. And I seriously can't believe it! Time FLIES by so fast, and I look at him and can't believe he was in my belly all those months ago. At his six month check up, he weighed just 20 lbs 5 oz and was 27 3/4 inches long! He is back down to only the 95% on the growth charts. He's such a big, strong boy! I never thought this would be possible, but I just keep loving him more and more every single day. The way he looks at me still melts my heart completely, and his smile couldn't get any sweeter! He's such a happy baby, which I am so thankful for. He only gets crabby when he's tired or hungry, and even then he still has a smile on his face. He's very active and alert, and always grabbing everything within his reach. It's really amazing how he's developing so quickly into a little boy, rather than a baby.
We had our annual Halloween party this past Friday, at David and Laurens house Zachary was a giraffe, I must say I have never seen a cuter giraffe. I just love that Zachary has so many nieces and nephews, I cant wait till Zachary gets old enough to run around with them!!!
Zachary is in a great routine as far as napping, feedings and everything like that... in fact he has been sleeping through the night for about a month and half!!! We were both so proud of our little guy!! When its bed time we just put in bed and off to sleep he goes! What a trooper :) Zachary is going to start eating baby food tonight... he gets to start with a vegetable not sure which one we are going to start him on... I will for sure post pictures later this week I'm sure he will love it!! Our little guy loves to roll around on the floor, and is very much interested in crawling. Right now he scoots really well, so I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before the crawling comes... I'm thinking by Thanksgiving for sure.
