4 Months Old & Belly Laughs


So I'm a little late with Zoey's 4 month post but when you have a baby, a blog post is low on the priority list! Zoey turned 4 months old last Saturday. Her are some stuff that she is up to:
  • laughing all the time. We have a very laid back, happy baby :-)
  • She has just started rolling from her tummy to her back. I think she started doing it because she hates tummy time!
  • She can almost sit up by herself but still needs something behind her for when she falls back
  • She weighs between 12-13 lbs. We'll find out for sure on Monday though.
  • She wears 3-6 months & 6 months size clothes depending on the brand.
  • She eats about 5 1/2 oz every 3-4 hours
  • She usually only wakes up around 5 am to eat then goes back to sleep until 8:30.
  • She looks more & more like Josh everyday. She has my eyes but everything else is Josh! Well we both have brown hair so I think I will claim the hair too :-)
We go to the doctor on Monday to get 4 month shots & to talk about starting Zoey on cereal.
Zoey also experienced her first car wreck last week. We were stopped at the stop light in front of the high school with a truck stopped behind us. An older lady was talking on her cell phone & not paying attention & ran right into the truck which then hit us. I am just thankful that truck was there otherwise it could have been a lot worse. Everyone in our car was ok. I don't think Zoey was even sore but she was falling asleep so it scared her but she calmed down once I got her out of her car seat. I am thankful my parents were with me!
On a happier note, Zoey is laughing or smiling all the time. Here's a video of Josh getting her to laugh while having the hiccups. She really gets going around the :44 mark if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

Day 6, 7 & 8!

Wow, I really fell behind! So here we go...

Day 6: A picture of a person you'd love to change places with for a day:So they aren't people but they have a pretty easy life! They lay around a lot or just play outside without any cares!

Day 7: A picture of your most treasured item:So, again, she's not an "item" but she is more important to me than any materialistic thing.

Day 8: A picture that makes you laugh:
If you can't tell, our animals are very spoiled!

Day 5 Photo Challenge

Day 5: A picture of a favorite memoryThis is the moment I met my daughter. I told everyone there would be no posting photos of me right after labor but this is my favorite memory so I thought I'd make an exception. This was extra special because I had an infection & spiked a fever during labor so Zoey was put in the NICU & I didn't get to see her for 24 hours after I delivered. Right after they cleaned her I got to hold her for maybe a minute then they whisked her away from me. That was the hardest 24 hours. Josh got to see her so I made him take the camera & bring back tons of pictures of her. Anyway, this is my favorite memory because even though she's only been here 3 1/2 months I can't imagine my life without her.

Day 4 Photo Challenge/More Zoey pictures

Day 4: A picture of your favorite night
This is a picture of July 19, 2008. This is the night Josh proposed :-) I picked this night because this is when our life together as a family started. I love him so much & so happy he picked me to be his wife. He really is my best friend!
Ok, so here are a couple pictures of Z that wouldn't load yesterdayWorking on sitting up! Excuse the mess behind her. If you have a baby you understand how sometimes you just don't have time to clean.We have a very happy baby :-)She looks so much like her daddy!

Day 3 Picture Challenge & Zoey pics

Day 3: Post a picture of the cast from your favorite show
So far Josh & I are doing good going to the gym & working out. It is only Wednesday but I've set a goal for myself!This is what I looked like before I had Zoey. I only have about 8-10 pounds to go. Hopefully posting this will help keep me motivated :-)
Now for some Zoey pictures:

She was doing tummy time and pretty much climbed over her boppy. I have a feeling she is going to crawl earlier than usual. She is always moving!
I had more pictures but blogger was being dumb and wouldn't upload them so I will try again tomorrow. She has been working on sitting up now. She is just doing something new everyday!

Day 2

Day 2: A picture of you and the person you have been close with the longest.I'm lucky to have two brothers but Jeff & I are only 15 months apart so we did a lot together. We had some of the same friends too. We haven't always gotten along but over the past 10 years or so we've become very close. He's getting married in May & I am so happy for him & his future wife! I love you Bubbs :-)
