Should I or Shouldn't I?

I guess I just want to make sure that this blog is being viewed. It is taking up more time than I thought it would and I am so bad at updating it!! I am mostly doing it for my family - so leave me a comment so I know that I should keep it up!

Zachary's Baptism

What a wonderful Mothers Day that I had. Zachary was baptized into the Catholic Faith. We were so blessed with a beautiful sunny day!! I was so proud of him too. He never cried, and when the priest took him to go see the statue of Mary, Zachery just looked at him with intent. Like he was truly listening. Afterwards, we all went to my parents house for a little party. Great food, friends, family - and cake! It was wonderful to have my father in law fly in from California too. It had been at least 3 months since he had seen him - I know he looked different! I love being a mom, and I felt so blessed on mothers day!

Sittin' and movin'

Well, Zachary is definitely growing up soooo fast! I realized the other day that he actually can sit up by himself! I didn't realize that in order for him to sit up, he needed to support himself with his arms. When I tried this, he was able to sit up all by himself - I was so excited! Also, he will be 5 months old in a couple of days, and he is starting to move. He rolls over to his belly and puts his head down on the ground. He then pushes his butt in the air, and pushes himself forward! I went in to wash a bottle, and when I came back, he was under the table! I'm so nervous - my house is so far from being childproof! I can't believe how fast he is growing up - people are right, you blink and things may pass you by!

Off to the Zoo

Today Zachary, Christina and I went to the Baltimore Zoo. We had so much fun - I lathered Zachary up with suntan lotion, too bad I forgot myself! Thats right, my sholders are RED!! It was so warm out, but there was a cool breeze every once in a while that felt good. Zachary made it most of the way. We carried him in the beginning, and then he fell asleeo right as we went into the childrens area (go figure!). We got lots of pictures with unfortunatly no smiles!

Hanging with the other chunky monkeys!

We want to MOVE!

For some reason, Zachary is not content just hanging out on his belly. . . .

He wants to crawl away!

We have a couch potato on our hands!!

OK - I need some help from all you parents out there! I know Zachary is only 4 1/2 months old, but he simply LOVES looking at the television. You see, I am the type of person who can not stand silence. I even sleep with the TV on. So when I am playing on the floor with Zachary, the television is on.
Well, yesterday I realized it may be a problem when I was trying to get Zachary to look at me and smile for a picture. I had him sitting in his chair with his back to the television. He tried EVERYTHING to stare at it. He leaned over backwards so much, I'm surprised he didn't fall over. I took a video of it down below. Anyway, what am I supposed to do? Should I be worried at this point, or chalk it up to that he is still an infant and he just likes the shapes and colors?
He is aways turning his head to sounds though - so maybe that is it - right? And no, he does not cry or get upset if the TV is not on - just loves to stare :)
You hate for television to be a 'babysitter'. I know when I grew up, I did not watch that much television. Funny - because now I probably watch too much. Am I a bad mom? AAHHH - someone give me some thoughts on this!

Rolling over for the first time:

Playtime in our bumpo chair:

Everyone has been asking me to keep them updated on Zachary. I know I stopped this blog after he was born, but now that I am finding more time on my hands (at least more than after he was born!) I thought I would start updating everyone on what was going on! So I promise to try and update everyone on any new news. Lets see -

We are almost 5 months old

He can roll over from his back and LOVES to sleep on his belly! (Dr. was not to happy!)

He is eating solids now - just had carrots for the first time - LOVED IT!!
