My Beautiful Little Bear Cub

Zooey's new skill set: laughing everyday, eating cereal, consuming 3 oz. at a time!, cooing at us for several minutes!

What a GREAT Day!

Zooey is fortunate enough to have seven living great-grandparents. She has Nana and Papa and Meme and Papa from my side of the family and Grandma Pat, Grandma Marceda, and Grandpa Dave on Ben's side of the family. On Friday, Zooey's Meme and Papa came to Papy's (my dad's) house on Friday for a visit and some pizza. Zooey was such a sweet girl - relaxing on the sofa with her binky bee gazing lovingly at Meme while receiving a massage.

Exhaustion is a Blessing

Every month or so I work as an occupational therapist at a Pediatric Rehab facility. The babies and kids there have incredible needs and yet are so happy to play and can be so strong it's amazing. Some are lucky enough to have parents that can handle it and come to see them often, while others depend on the nurses and other staff to be their family. Today reinforced for me that I am blessed to have such a healthy baby and am thankful that my only tangible concern is getting more sleep.

How Big is Zooey?

SOOOO BIG! Zooey went to the pediatrician last Tuesday for her four month checkup. She now weighs 13.7 lbs. and is 26 3/8" long, putting her in the 95% for height - imagine that! She also got the green light to begin rice cereal, which she seems to be enjoying very much! Next week we get to start oatmeal!

American Idol

While at MawMaw's house I was watching American Idol in Madisen's bedroom. Though Zooey typically isn't allowed TV time I quickly noticed that it was a great incentive for her to lift her head. She maintained this position for several minutes without even a bobble. I think she is going with Lil Rounds this season. I might have to vote on her behalf.

My Adidas

"We make a good team, my Adidas and me!"- Run DMC.

Zooey got to visit with Uncle Noah and Aunt Amy again this past week. They brought her this adorable outfit which fits her perfectly!
