Doing it Right

Zoe started her week off by doing some light reading and then to finish it off the right way........
she had a cold one!!!!!

Random parts of our day

Zoe and I made a trip to Target today and we found this little alligator that plays as a piano and a xylophone and thought it would be lots of fun. I gave Zoe a little Tylenol today because she was acting a little crabby and trying to bite everything in site. I then let her play with the bottle, what a good mommy I am: Mallory has become one of Zoe's favorite new playmates. She just laughs and laughs when Mallory tries to take the ball from her. It's really cute! These are some of the newest faces Zoe has been making. I'm wondering if there is something going on in there, but I still don't feel anything.

9 Month Check up

Zoe has started trying to get into everything so we are trying to set some limits as to what. Since my pump bag somewhat involves her, it was one of the things I've said she can play with. She is really fascinated with everything in it, so it's an easy distractor.The other new news is that we had her 9 month check up on Tuesday. Here are her stats:
wt: 16 lbs. 1 oz. (10%)
ht: 27 inches (40%)
hc: 16 inches (of course, <3%) So we remain on the small side, but the doctor isn't worried about anything. She is crawling, pulling herself up, talking up a storm, and just being a wonderful little girl. We have just started sleep training Tuesday night as well and if I do say so myself, she is doing great!!!!

A Day of Warmth!

Today was Zoe's 9 month birthday as well as our good friend Adelyn's 8 month. Her mom, Lindsay, and I decided to go to the park since it was the warmest day it's been in months. Both of the girls are into putting everything into their mouth so both of us plugged them in with their pacifiers. It worked like a charm!!

There was only one swing open, so they swung together. I think they both really enjoyed it and I think Lindsay and I liked getting to catch up outside of school!

Lots of News!

I feel bad that I haven't passed this news along, but what can I say, life is busy!!! Last Thursday, Zoe started crawling. She has been trying for a couple of weeks now, but has definitely got it down now, well that is if she's on carpet and not wood floor. She also is pulling herself up on everything and running around the house as long as she has two fingers. The other new and exciting trick she has learned, is that the refrigerator holds all of her wants and needs.

What a Great Week!!!

We had such a great week!!! Monday and Tuesday was normal school days and then on Wednesday I had the day off so we went to play group with my good friend Lindsay and her kiddos. I didn't get any pictures there, but let's just say Zoe had a blast. She ran all over the place trying to kiss as many people as possible. It was so cute. Then on Thursday, Mimi showed up to stay the weekend with us. We had such a wonderful time not really doing anything!! Thanks Mimi!!

A Couple Firsts

Zoe has done a couple firsts over the last week. First one is, she started using a sippy cup:Two, she started having cheerios:
And last, she is walking with a "walker:" (this isn't the best video, but my battery died) never mind, I can't get the video to load. Anyways, she is walking using a toy to push forward and she loves it. She goes as far as she can one direction and then we turn the toy around and she she goes back. It's quite cute!!!
