A lot of Firsts...

We just got back from CT this past Wednesday. It was a wonderful two week vacation. As the title of this post indicates there were a lot of firsts for Zach. He had his first airplane ride which went great on the way up and not so great on the way back as he caught his first cold in CT and was not feeling well. Grammie had a party for the 4th and Zach got to meet A LOT of people including his Great Gramma, his Uncles Pat and Dan, and my friend Sarah and her husband Matt! He also got to spend some great time with his Auntie and Grammie and Grampa. Auntie was a wiz at putting the little guy to sleep so i started calling her the "Zach Whisperer." We miss them already!

The weather was kinda cool which Rob and i appreciated after the heat down here. We had a few nice days and took Zach for his first swim.
He seems to really like the water. Let's see some other firsts...he rolled over from back to tummy for real for the first time...and how could i forget his first real belly laugh! Grammie had the family up for dinner and we were giving Zach a bath after one of his many explosions and i turned on the water to rinse him off and every time i dripped water on his head he would burst out in uncontrollable laughter! It was so awesome to hear but unfortunately he has not repeated it since. In time i know it will come more often and i'm glad everyone got to hear it. As you can see from the photos the little man is getting big. He has his 4 month appointment next week so we will see what he weighs and how tall. We were at the Dr. briefly this week to check out his cold and he weighed in at 17 lbs and something! Luckily his cold is just that, his lungs, ears and temp are all fine. I will update next week when i have all the exact measurements. I know i am probably missing some things that happened in CT and will have to record them later.
