Zachary-Month 6

Happy Half Birthday, Zachary!! This little boy is a big ball of fun and constant entertainment. Along with his high pitch squeals he also has a contagious laugh! Every day is more fun than the prior. We are LOVING parenthood!
This last month we've been introducing Zachary to solids. So far we've tried a plethora of veggies, fruits, and "meals". He's done amazingly well with learning how to eat from the spoon. His favorite fruits are pears and prunes. His favorite veggie is squash.
We are still waiting for his pearly whites to come in. They are SO close!!! We can practically see them through the gums!! They've caused a couple colds and some discomfort but mostly gallons of drool!! Ha ha! We'll definitely be glad to have them here!
The other day at the Pediatricians office his stats were as follows:
Height: 26 in.
Weight: 20 lbs. 7 oz.
As you can see he's a growing boy!! We love every ounce of this little man!!
Zachary is sitting up on his own and loves the "freedom" from Mom. We're still working on rolling and crawling.
I have always loved Fall and the holidays that come with it. This year my excitement began in JULY! I SO can't wait for his first Halloween,Thanksgiving, sledding, and Christmas! He also got his Howell Family Christmas stocking from Grandma Aubrey! JC's Mom and sisters make these amazing stockings for all new members of the family and Zachary got his-LOVE it!! Also, his latest and FAVORITE toy is a monkey that my Mom sent him. She bought it and took it home and put bells in the hands and feet of it and sewed it back up. He LOVES it and loves to make the bells jingle-SO cute!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this little man!!
