Zack Attack...Zacko Wacko...Zachary Dackery Dock...

is FOUR...F...O...U..R!!!!!

This is totally crazy...because yesterday I was carrying around the little baby boy who made me a mother.

Sometimes I look at him and see a little kid...

other times I see a big boy...

but I always see a kid who wears his heart on his sleeve...

who loves...LOVES his "best brother, Hunter" (his words...not mine) and baby Stella...

I hear him sing or read to Stella while I get a bottle ready...

he wants Hunter to come whenever we try to take him on a special outing...

he is imaginative...playful...caring...sweet...happy...excited...

silly...thoughtful...friendly...handsome

and sometimes Iron Man.

He considers the world his playground...

and all the people his playmates...including the poor repair man.

He says "hi" to everyone...and if they are nice enough to respond he will tell you a short story about something that happened that day (or 4 months ago) and introduce them to Hunter and Stella...

He wakes up in the morning moving at 60 miles an hour and continues until we put him to bed...as soon as he stops for the day he falls asleep and begins again the next day.

4 months old

Stella Grace

My goal is to put her in one of my favorite outfits (because my mom told me always take a photo when they are wearing your favorite outfit) and do a mini photo shoot to document each month for her first year...

but she is kid #3 and she sleeps a LOT...

I was planning on doing a photo shoot last week or today or tomorrow...or one day this week (3 weeks late)...

but I imported some random pictures I took from a warm afternoon in the back yard and they were pretty awesome...

decked out in a pair of second hand jammies, laying on a hand me down blanket which I put on top of an ugly towel...

Stella, this is your life.

She makes me feel like I could have 10 more babies...

she is happy, healthy, always adoriable,,,

and oh so easy going.

I can think of maybe 3 times in her whole 4 months (and 3 weeks) that she "cried"...she will fuss but after Hunter I know that doesn't count as crying...

She lets her brothers love on her and wakes up with a huge smile EVERY SINGLE DAY...

I can already see bits and pieces of her personality and I am super excited to watch her become more Stella.
