4 Wheelin' w/ Our Little Guy

Here is a picture of Zachary and I on the 4 wheeler!!

Here is a picture of Zachary on the 4 wheeler by himself - he LOVED riding on it!


Here is a close-up that I took of Zachary and I.


Here is daddy and Zachary on the 4 wheeler as the sun was setting.

Then, I had to throw thi picture in the blog too!! This is Zachary after eating Ravioli's for the 1st time - as you can tell, he got it ALL over him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this picture is funny with the way his hand is. I can picture him thinking," mom, what's the big deal, all I did was eat dinner?!" hahahaha

Now, to tell you about his 1st 4 wheelin experience. He sat in the front and I held onto him with 1 hand. We just stayed on our land, but we have some hills around the pond that Les made when digging the pond out. So, we went on those, played by the dog (she was scared!), and just rode around. At 1st he was holding onto the front of the ATV and then I realized that he had let go w/ 1 hand and had it in the air and he was squealing out of excitment. Then, a few moments later he was totally relaxed and had both hands in the air and just loving it!!! The 3 of us did get on it at 1x and that was fun. Zachary started off between Les and I, but he didn't like that as much b/c he couldn't see anything, so then we moved him back to the front. We used to talk about this moment when I was pregnant with Zachary and now we FINALLY got to experience it. It was really neat and we both enjoyed sharing it together. I know Zachary won't remember it, but it was fun and he just laughed and giggled and squealed the whole time - SO FUN!!!

Zachary has had several rough days - he is cutting his 5th tooth (bottom right) and ear infection to boot. They said that his left ear was infected, but since he has started medicine, he has been really rubbing/scratching his right ear too. So, I'm so glad that he's on medicine to help him feel better. He has woken up every night for a week now, but since Les had a few days off in there, he helped by getting up with him too. Thank goodness he has only been getting up 1x a night for about 15 - 20 min and then going back to bed. He usually takes 4-6 ounces. When we were at the doctor the other day, Zachary had gained a whopping 3 lbs in 1 month - WOW!!! I told Les that he was feeling heavier and stocky, well, there we go!!! He is now 21 lbs!!!!!!!!

Hope you enjoy the pictures and our update on Zachary!!!!!!!!!!!
