Personal blog about my family: my son Zack and his future sister Zoey
1 Month
1 month old
Zoey has been keeping me busy. I meant to post her 1 month update a week ago but better late than never. She is starting to outgrow 1-3 month clothes and starting to fit into 3 month clothes. She is smiling and is more alert. She will start daycare in 2 weeks.
Zoey is such a happy baby. She is drooling a lot these days. She tries to pick up the shapes and patterns on the crib sheets and pack and play sheets. It's pretty funny. Zack is definitely her favorite person followed closely by everyone else. She makes it through the night waking up once, sometimes twice. Zoey is going to be participating in a research study soon that is looking at the brain and development in infants. Hopefully she'll be a cooperative participant. Smiles! Sticking out her tongue Watching the Superbowl together Happy Valentine's Day from Zoey! We are giving her teachers valentines with this picture of her.
At 3 weeks old, Zoey is our little pacifier snob. She only likes a certain type of pacifier and even one type that appears to be ever so slightly different will not satisfy her, even for a moment. She only likes the pink and purple bear ear soothies. How dare we try to offer her a green soothie without bear ears. At least when it comes to bottles, she will drink from pink, purple, green, or any other color or type of bottle we've offered her. Here are some pictures from this week. The only time she's worn short sleeves. She actually posed nicely for me. Brother and sister hanging out together Taken by her daddy Another cute pose for her daddy
The first night in the hospital Bonding with her Daddy Awake time Teeny tiny feet Burrito time Sleepy time It's all coming back to us now... life with a newborn. I've been on the 3 a.m. shift for feedings so that's fun... not. It's fine when she's cooperative and falls right back to sleep. I hope that happens tonight! Anyway, Zoey is doing well. She is supposed to go 3 hours between feedings but often is starved at 2.5 hours so we feed her early. She's mellow when held and calmer with feedings than her brother was. Zack loves being a big brother so far. He adores his little sister and wants her to be awake more often so he can interact with her. He especially loves tummy time and getting grossed out by seeing her diapers. I said "Zoey has a special treat for you..." and he came over and looked and saw the dirty diaper- yuck!
