To Zoe... you are one month old!

This week, you have started to smile... on purpose! :)

So, because you are a month old, I thought I should hurry and get your picture quickly. I haven't been feeling that great, so it took every ounce of energy to get you to cooperate... which didn't exactly happen. You don't like to be laid down, you are a bit spoiled. In fact, every time we lay you down and it's not bed time,  you throw a big ringer of a fit! These are the best one month pictures that I could get. I would lay you down and quickly rip the paci out and snap the picture! This took many tries, but here is what we got. I had to add a few of the screaming ones, just because they are too funny! 

 

                                               

This one above is the best we got. I liked it, but your daddy made fun of the HUGE bow that is almost bigger than your head. I do agree, it's a bit big, but I was not about to change it and make you take another picture. :)

  

When you are calm, you are pretty dang cute! The one on the left is of you talking to me. You actually have already started to coo for us. In fact, Thursday night (April 19th) was your first official cooing. The picture on the right is of you sleeping. You like to do lots of hand and arm positions when you sleep. And below this is your daddy. We do all kinds of things to get you to calm down in the evenings. We think you have a touch of colic. SO, we have to get creative!

 

   

And finally, this past month has been a challenge for both of us! For me, I am trying to recover from labor, but having lots of bumps in the road. We will get there soon, I am sure! And for you, it's been a struggle to figure out night and day. You are also struggling with always being hungry, at least you think you are. You want to chew and eat on everything! And when we feed you, and have to break to burp, you scream and cry. :) But, you are super healthy and growing like a weed. I am betting you are at least 9 lbs by now, I'm sure of it! This picture is of both of us resting. You look pretty content here during your "milk coma". You are a sprawler, and take up as much space as possible. :) We love you, Zoe, and can't believe it's been over a month since you were born. We can't wait to watch you grow! 

Love,

Mommy
