As of May 17th, Zoe was already two months old!!! It's crazy how the time has just flown by. This past month has been so busy that I really haven't had any time to blog much! I started back to work to finish off the school year with my first graders. They really enjoyed seeing me again, and seeing Zoe. ( I enjoyed being back too, although I missed my little girl!) Thankfully, Chris was able to take care of her the week and a half I was gone back to work, and now it's summer break! Here are some things that have happened this past month...
- Zoe sleeps from about 10pm to 7 am, waking up around 2am and 6am to eat.
-Zoe loves to eat her fist... in fact, she chokes on it all the time!
-Zoe loves bath time now. :) Mainly because she gets a lotion massage and gets warmed up with the blow dryer after her bath. She is sooooo spoiled!
- Zoe is a GREAT shopping buddy. She usually sleeps or just chews on her shirt or blanket while I buy groceries.
-Life without a bow in her hair doesn't exist. ;)
-Zoe likes it when we talk to her in funny voices... she coos and laughs at us!
-Cooing and laughing is a big thing right now, and we love this!
-Zoe is tolerating her swing much better now, less screaming!
-Zoe loves tummy time, and playing on her play mat... she just now started kicking and attempting to grab some of the little birds and toys.
-Zoe goes on lots of walks with me around the neighborhood..... she seems to like it better now, and doesn't mind the fresh air.
-Zoe still attempts to roll over, she has succeeded a few times.
-She is still swaddled in order to go to sleep, otherwise it's like a little ninja flopping around!
-She has got much better with eye contact and following faces and voices. She knows her mommy and daddy's voices for sure! ( And since my mom, Mims come a lot, she is knowing her voice more , too.)
-She loves to EAT! She has just started eating more at a time... probably a growth spurt.
- You are going through all your clothes! You are officially in 3 month clothes now... with some 0-3 still fitting.
-Oh yeah, you have the sad face down good... your little lip goes all the way down.
Finally, we went to the doctor today to get her two month shots and check up. She measured at 22.5 in long, and 11.67 pounds. She was exactly in the 50th percentile for her age group... the doctor said she was perfect, which we already knew! ;) We love this little girl so much. In fact, this morning on our walk I had to remember all that I am thankful for... she is my little gift. Although my pregnancy and labor weren't the best, she truly is! Life before being a mommy was great, but man, it's crazy how much better it is now. I can't wait to watch her grow more, and continue to meet all these fun milestones. It's already going too fast, though, so I am soaking up every second that I can with her.
Zoe,
You are such a sweet little cutie. Even when I am sleep deprived, you make me smile in the mornings when you laugh and coo. Your big blue eyes are sparkly and happy most always, which brightens my days! Me and your daddy sit and stare at you... in fact, he has to remind me to stop posting so many pictures on Facebook because I could post about 10 a day if it were up to me. :) I hope you know how happy we are to be your parents. We thank God daily that you are happy and healthy. We love you!
