Happy Birthday Zach!!

Sunday the 22nd was Zach's 4th Birthday. It seems like it was yesterday he was a baby! When I was pregnant with him we didn't find out the sex. So when they said "It's a BOY!" I was shocked..& a tad scared! What was I going to do with a little boy?? He is the sweetest, funniest, kindest little man! He is definetly going to be the class clown. He loves to make us laugh. He loves his sisters & brother, anything that has to do with trucks or trains..he is all boy! But he has a soft, gentle side..just for me :) 4 years ago I couldn't imagine having a little boy & now I can't imagine not having one.

All he wanted for his Birthday was a baseball glove & ball..I see baseball practices in our future!

The Big "Move"

Last week we moved Ben to his crib in Zach's room. With all the kids it was always hard to put them in there own room. I loved having them right there beside me where I could peek over & check in on them at anytime. He has been sleeping through the night since November so it was time. I think I put it off because of his breathing issues early on. Anyways..he loves it & sleeps very well..even at nap time! Zach loves sharing his room with Ben & gets sad when I don't put them in for a nap at the same time. He is such a good big brother!

A Day with the Ducks :)

The kids love to save the heels of the bread & take them up to feed the ducks/geese in the front of the neighborhood..hey it's fun/free entertainment! The weather was nice just a little windy so Ben stayed bundled in the stroller. Then we walked up to the park & they ran off some of their energy..I can't wait for Spring!

Something New

Well Ben had his 4 month check-up this week...he weighs 14lbs 12ozs & is 25-1/4" long. He is in the 50th percentile for his weight & 75th for his length. He is getting chunky & I love it!! The doctor said he looks great & is doing well. She did say that his muscle tone is a little low which is to be expected but you would never know it..he has a strong grip! We are looking into getting him evaluated & maybe starting some physical therapy depending on what they recommend.

Ben is getting to that fun stage where he is interacting more everyday. He loves to watch the kids play & gets excited when they come over & talk to him. He got to try some rice cereal the other day & he actually did really well. Here are some recent pics..

Ben's sad face :(
