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.
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!
At her 2 month checkup, Zoey weighed 10 pounds and was 22 inches long. Zoey seems to like daycare and they love her there. She has become increasingly alert and her face lights up when she hears our voices or she sees us. She loves her playmat and is "talking" up a storm. She has a lot to say and can be quite loud. We love our little cutie pie!
