Zach Attack!

So, we took Zach to the doctor today and amidst much speculation he doesn't weigh QUITE as much as Maddie. But it is close. Really close. If it was a boxing match, it would go something like this: "Weighing in at a petitie 23 pounds, size 4 diapers, don't let her pixie demeanor fool you, this girl is all spit and vinegar....Madilyn Brogan!" "Her opponent in the ring today, nicknamed the Chunky Monkey, weighing in at a robust 21 pounds 4 ounces, also in size 4 diapers, taking a few minutes away from his mom's boob to hop in the ring with his sister....Zachary Brogan!"

Yep, less than 2 pounds separate my 4 month old and my 21 month old. Pretty funny. We can start Zach on cereal now, so we are hoping that will maybe stick to his ribs a little bit more and he won't need to nurse all the time. The kid may or may not (but probably is) addicted to my boobs. But most importantly, he is a healthy boy!

Our kids are currently all resting up for some 4th of July activities that will be taking place on my parents homestead this afternoon/evening. Hopefully home grown fireworks won't freak Ben out quite as much as the real deal. We are looking forward to a lot of eating and perhaps a beer or two...Zach is groggy from his shots so he won't know the difference:) I hope everyone has a happy 4th! Yeah Democracy!
