We are amazed that Zachary is already five months old! It just seems like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. Last night when we finished giving him his bath - Jen got him dressed in his PJ's and Dustin just stared at Zachary and said "wow - he is getting so big!" So I guess now is a good a time as any to "brag" about how our baby boy is doing!- He's sleeping through the night (10 hour stint) about 4 out of the 7 days of a week.
- He likes baby food more than rice cereal. He loves pears, not so fond of peaches. He can also down a 6oz bottle.
- He's wearing 6-9 month clothes.
- He weighs 17 pounds (according to our home scale).
- Zach LOVES to smile. He smiles the most right after waking up in the morning and after naps...and of course while playing with daddy.
- Zach also has learned to "talk" - he started vocalizing at a different pitch and can babble away.
- His hair is starting to get longer on the top that it no longer looks like a flat-top. Jen isn't quite sure how to "style" his hair yet. I guess we got 1 month until his 6 month formal portraits to figure it out.
- He loves bathtime - I think more for the relaxation. He doesn't splash or really play, he just lays and enjoys being pampered. He does the same thing in the swimming pool, just chills and enjoys the view.
- I swear this kid is going to skip crawling and take of running in the next little bit. Zach LOVES to stand up. If you put his hands on the ottaman he can actually stand up holding his own balance. When he stands up on your lap he pretend runs....always trying to go after something.
- We think he is smart! Tonight he was totally happy and then just starting crying like crazy. After a bit we decided to give him his bath to calm him down...well in the tub he turned over so he was on his belly (he rests his head on the side of the inflatable tub) to reveal to us that he had a small diaper rash in the upper part of his butt crack (sorry - not sure how to word that politically correct). THAT IS WHY HE WAS CRYING! He was hurting! So a warm bath and some Desatin and our baby is happy again!
Of course this list could go on and on and on.....but these are the little things that have amazed us about our five month old so far!

Ah, such true love. I'm so glad to hear that Zach is bringing such joy to you two. He sounds like an awesome little baby. We love him!
I can't believe how big he's getting. I miss him! Give him a big hug and kiss for me and Tayla:)
He is getting big. I can tell that his hair is really growing in. Don't worry about trying to figure our how to style his hair. I am still trying to figure that one out for Peyton. Hair sure does have a mind of its own.
Chunk his cheeks for us!
