3 months old

Zachary is 3 months old!
So much has happened this month. Zachary started daycare since Mommy had to go back to work. He has done great; better than Mommy. Zachary celebrated his first Halloween dressed up as a dinosaur. He loves to be tickled, talks and tells lots of stories, and enjoys sitting to read stories. He outgrew his baby bathtub, moved into size 2 diapers, is wearing 6 month shirts, moved into his crib, and no longer likes to be swaddled to sleep. Zachary took his first airplane ride to visit our Illinois relatives. He did an excellent job at the airport and on the plane, and gave everyone smiles while being passed around. Zachary is able to sit up if leaning against something and learned how to roll from his back to his tummy! He celebrated his first Thanksgiving and took a 3 hour nap during dinner. Mommy was able to sit, enjoy a turkey dinner, and enjoy adult conversation! Unfortunately Daddy was home sick with a fever of 103.
We enjoy every minute together since our time is limited now that Mommy is back to work.

Checking out his new Cubs hat.




While Daddy was at grad school, Zachary sat in his spot on the couch with the TV remote. He was lounging around in comfy clothes just like Daddy, which made us both laugh!




Zachary loves to sit up in the rocking chair by himself.

He has started reaching for and playing with his bird.







Enjoying a piece of candy on his first Halloween.



Getting tickled by Daddy
Zachary likes sitting by himself while Daddy reads, but likes sitting on Mommy's lap while reading stories.

Zachary's last bath in the baby bathtub in the sink. He's a little too big!
His first bath in the big boy bathtub. He wasn't too sure about it.

Grandma was very excited to see Zachary

Uncle Marc

Grandpa doesn't look excited to meet Zachary. There were plenty of smiles when the camera was put away.

Great Grandma and Zachary told lots of stories to each other!


Zachary is ready for a walk, with his Red Sox hat and Cubs jacket.

Cousins Aiden and Lily were very excited to meet and play with Zachary.


Zachary rolled from his back to his belly the night before, but then couldn't remember how to roll back over. We gave him time to practice the next morning.

Zachary and cousin Jimmy took professional pictures together.
What a cutie! My favorite picture of Jimmy.




All 3 boys are distracted away from the camera.

I love the hat!


Great Aunt Theresa



Lily really enjoyed playing with Zachary.

Zachary and Mommy enjoy our Saturday mornings together.

Finally in his cib, which he loves, except it's still in the downstairs shared bedroom... the upstairs is almost ready to be moved into.

Zachary doesn't like Uncle Michael's new long beard.

Snuggles with Gramma

Mommy & Zachary spent two nights at Great Gram & Great Grampa's house while Daddy was sick. We enjoyed the mornings with Gramma.
