5 Months

Yesterday was Zach's 5 month birthday! Amazing how quickly these months have flown by. Zach is really starting to get personable. He smiles so much now and has eeked out a giggle or two. He rolled over for the first time on 11/8.

His nursing strike has continued now for 3 weeks and we are starting to supplement with formula. My goal had been to breastfeed for at least 6 months. We almost made it! He is still nursing, but he is now getting 2-3 bottles a day of formula. It has cut down on his frustration and my frustration, too!  We've also started feeding Zach rice cereal, although "feed" is a stretch.  We put it in his mouth, he looks at us like we are torturing him, and he spits it back out.  It is a messy and amusing process so far.

We are headed to Wisconsin for a week for Thanksgiving. It is rather chilly there right now and it will be Zach's first time seeing snow!

Here is his 5 month video:

Some more firsts!

Zach has had a few new firsts this week. On Saturday he rolled over back to front for the first time. (At least, the first time we've seen. Not sure if he "rolled" when he fell off the couch...) Today he giggled for the first time!!! Video perhaps to follow...
