More Teeth!!!!


So the little man has had a rough week! I knew something was up when he didn't sleep well over the weekend. (woke up with a fever on Saturday) Maybe he was getting more teeth? He then had his 6 month Dr. Appt yesterday. Zach weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz and was 28 1/4 inches long. He is still growing well, although his weight dropped down into the 76th percentile. He also had shots. Which then brings me to yesterday afternoon when we got home he just was not a happy camper. As usual i was walking him trying to get him to sleep and i hear this weird grinding sound coming from his mouth. What the heck is he chewing on? Well turns out he cut one of his front teeth and I'm sure the other is soon to follow. Needless to say this is now Zach's new trick...grinding his teeth together! I hope the other tooth cuts soon because he was up all night last night. Its the least sleep i think i've gotten since the first couple of weeks he was born. He seemed to be doing better this evening so we're hoping he sleeps well tonight. Other than that not much news. Its finally cooling off here a bit so thats a welcome change.

Labor Day


We had an awesome visit with my fam over Labor Day! Went and had cheesy fries and sweet tea at Rockaways to commemorate last year's visit, took the boat out on Sunday, and had family badminton tournament. Boat was great, everyone had fun tubing and my dad even got up on water skis! I was very impressed. Zach was in heaven with all of the company and attention. So wish some of the fam lived closer. As you can see Zach is getting so big. He will be six months on saturday. How the time has flown. He is doing great on solid foods and even learning to drink from his sippy cup. Of course he spits most of it out but thats ok. He is getting better and better at sitting up on his own. He topples after a minute or so or if he gets off balance. Rolling over is getting easier and easier but he's still a bit lazy when its comes to that, maybe because of all that cute pudge! He is really scooting around in his walker these days, chasing the football, me and tipping over the trash. He's gotten a hold of the table cloth as well, we'll see how long it take for him to pull that off the table when i'm not looking. Rob and i are both doing well. I am playing in a church softball league which is tons of fun and Rob is keeping busy with work, the yard and little Z. Zach and i are going to the zoo tomorrow with the neighbors. If Zach even has half the amount of energy those two little girls have, Rob and i are in big trouble!!!!
