*** Happy 1 Month Zacary ***

My sweet lil Zacary is 1 month old today! I can’t believe how fast this first month went!! He is already growing so fast!!! Things are going so so good at our house as well with both him and Eli :] It has been a wonderful thing being a Mommy to 2 lil boys for sure- makes my heart melt to watch them together already and I am truly blessed to have 2 lil boys that are soooo good and such healthy lil boys too! <3

Zacary is already becoming so alert! He loves to watch fans, look out the windows, and any lights too! He loves to be outside as well and going on walks with Eli and me! :] He is getting to the stage where he moves his arms and legs a lot and is such a good and happy baby! When he is hungry- watch out world! He sure lets you know haha! He has a very loud cry for a lil guy- but that’s ok we still love him so very much <3 I love the way he stares at me when I am feeding him his bottle. I talk to him so much and you can definitely tell he always remembers my voice, Noah’s voice, and even Eli. Anytime any of us talk and he is wide awake he gets so interested in who is talking and just stares at us- awww melts my heart!

Zacary is sleeping very good and has been since the day we have been home from the hospital! His bed time hours are a bit off- but he is still sleeping good from the time he does go to sleep until he wakes up. He has been going to sleep around 10:30 or 11pm and wakes up one time around 3am, or sleeps the entire night til around 7am. I have been putting a lil bit of rice cereal in his bottles at night the past few nights and he loves the cereal so much and gulps it down like no other haha! I constantly am stopping and burping him and making sure he isn’t choking b/c he just eats it that fast haha! Every night he loves to be put to sleep by me rocking him or laying him on my chest! I don’t mind that one bit I love it soooo much. I am trying to get to where his schedule is with Eli’s bed time schedule and going to sleep around 9pm. Since he is still sleeping a bit during the day he doesn’t want to go to bed quite that early yet- but that’s ok- we have time and he is only 1 month old :]

Since the day we have been home from the hospital he has been taking a 3 hour nap everyday with falling asleep all on his own and seriously sleeping that long ha! It is at a different time everyday but usually falls asleep around 11am and sleeps til 2pm. I love being with him every single second of the day just like I do with Eli too- they are so much fun and keep me so entertained and smiling every single day! I love to pick out his lil baby clothes and dress him everyday- while putting tons of baby lotion on him since I am obsessed with putting lotion on ha- I still put it on Eli everyday too! We have been working on tummy time a bit b/c he is so strong with holding his lil head up! He loves to lay on his belly and he is noticing toys around him too!! Such a growing boy for sure! He has also already rolled over from his belly to his back which amazes me so much haha! I couldn’t believe that he did it the first time he did!

He loves to watch Praise Baby with Eli everyday and it melts my heart! Eli is at the stage where he sings the songs and Zacary just stares at the TV. It melts my heart so much to be sitting with both boys watching this with them. Eli sits on my lap while I have Zacary on the other side of my lap or in the rocker seat and it is such a special moment for sure. I just love them both so much!!!! Zacary has also flashed some smiles too and it is so cute- makes ya feel so good to see the lil fella smile at you for sure :]

Zacary is wearing size 1 diapers and is wearing a few newborn clothes but more of 0-3 or even some 3 month clothes! He is a long lil fella!!! I am anxious to see how much he weighs when we go to the Dr for his 2 month appointment next month. I am sure he is close to 10 lbs or a lil over 10 lbs! He is not a fan of the bathtub so I try to give him a sponge bath more often so he isn’t sad like he is in the bath! I did give both boys a bath together the other night and it was so cute! I didn’t have enough hands to take pics and Noah was busy with work stuff downstairs but it turned out great and Eli loved watching lil brother in the bath tub with him laying in his bath tub seat :] Zacary is already eating 4 oz of formula every 2-3 hours during the day and can go the whole night without waking up for a bottle or wakes up around 3am!! So far he also does not spit up! He's my cute lil piglet :]

I can’t explain enough how awesome it is to be a Mommy- especially to these 2 sweet boys! I would be absolutely nothing without my hubby, Eli, and Zacary. I am so blessed to have them all and love them all so very much! I love every bit of bonding time I get with both boys everyday and being home with them is so special to me!!!! It’s so awesome how much love you have for your kids and how it is a love you can’t explain to anyone until they have their own kids and feel the love the second their child is born! I just love it so much and will always love them and do anything in the world for them! I pray so much I keep the strong relationships with Eli and Zacary forever! I really hope we are always close and that they always know their Mama is here for them no matter what! Zacary Brenden you are one special lil guy that Mommy, Daddy, and big Brother love very much! You fit into our family perfectly and are such a good lil boy! I get so excited to see you every single morning and spend the whole day with you and giving you lil baby kisses and hugs! I love you are a lil snuggler and love to snuggle before bed time. I love knowing I will never have to leave you ever! My boys and me will always be good pals <3 Happy 1 month Zacary Brenden- I love you so so so much <3

*This is a pic of Eli at 1 month old (pic to the left) and Zacary at 1 month old (pic to the right)!! First off- I can't believe how much Eli has grown and changed since 1 month old and I also can't believe how much they look alike! They do have their differences but you can see where they look alike for sure and def look like sweet brothers eeek* :]
