3 months old

Zach is three months old today. It is such a delight watching him grow and develop. He has found his hands these last couple of weeks and is fascinated by them - to look at - but mostly to suck on and try to fit in his mouth. He's figured out that they are connected to him and that he can move things.

Zach loves seeing his Dad when he gets home from work.

And watching Wimbledon with Mummy

And his new toy from Aunty Megan with its crinkly wings..

Looking at his mobile

And sleeping!

godparent lunch

Lunch with Zach's Godparents Triona and Nick in honour of Zach (who spent the afternoon alseep in Nick's garden). Zach will be baptised on 27th July.

tri's birthday party

tri's friends organised a surprise birthday dinner party under a beautiful tree in Richmond Park. zach loved the party and was very stimulated by all the beautiful leaves and people. it was such a gorgeously serene spot with deer surrounding us in the long grass.

Papa's last day
