Zach is doing GREAT! He just turned three months on the 5th :) I can't believe he's so old already *sigh*
He's a little over 13lbs at the moment, but I'm not sure how long he is.
Here's some pictures of Zach at around 9 weeks old:




Here's him and his brother as well

I've got more recent pictures, but I'm giving them to my mom for her birthday on the 12th, so you'll have to wait until after then to see them haha
We went to the neurologist yesterday for an EEG and a follow up visit. It went wonderfully! Zach's EEG came back 100% normal! They didn't see ANY of the irregularities that they'd seen in previous EEG's, no sign of epilepsy, and he passed the photosensitivity test with flying colors! They're having us wean him off of his medication by having us only give it to him in the morning (instead of in the morning and at night), and in two weeks, we can stop it entirely! :D
We've decided not to vaccinate, for now at least. We've read, and discussed at length, Dr. Sears' The Vaccine Book, as well as discussed it with both his pediatrician and his neurologist, and we feel that with Zach having had these episodes so soon after receiving his first vaccine, and with me breastfeeding and him not being in daycare, he's reasonably protected from many of these diseases. Once he gets older, we'll consider which vaccines he'll benefit from receiving, especially when it comes time to go to school.
Anyway, here's Z getting his EEG (he did NOT like those wires). I call this his "Spaghetti Monster" impression haha :) Please excuse the low quality cell phone pictures

and here's him cheesing at me while waiting for the neurologist:

Thanks for reading, and I promise to try to update more often! :)
