I smile for the camera now (if you're lucky!)



I like to scoot


I'm really working on this crawling thing

7 month update

What? You want me to smile or something?






Oh fine!

7 months- let's see, what have we been up to......Zoe is growing like a weed. We went to the doctor today actually to check on her ears (we had our 1st ear infection but we're all recovered now- and it was surprisingly not that bad, she's just been battling this pesty cough for weeks). Zoe weighed in at 17 lbs, 8 oz. 2 weeks ago when we went in sick, she was 16 lbs, 13 oz...so almost a full pound in 2weeks! I guess all that food is doing a body good....she's tried apple blueberries, buttnernut squash, carrots, peas, raspberries, sweet potatoes, pretty much everything I've made she's eaten which is awesome.

I'm doing about 50/50 BM v. formula now. We still do our morning nursing session which I love and which is what makes me want to keep it up. She takes 3 bottles at school (one of which is the BM I pump at work) but I have to confess, it is getting kinda frustrating. I pump 2x at work, 3 if I'm lucky, and I only get about 3 oz total each session. I don't know what's happened to my supply but I feel like it's hardly worth it to pump during the day anymore. But I'm afraid if I stop then I won't be able to keep up the morning session so I guess I'll keep at it. The weekends are good- I get to make up for lost time a little bit....but I don't know, if anyone has any advice in this area let me know b/c I'm getting kinda lost!



Still no crawling, and no teeth...but that is fine by me. For now, Zoe prefers to roll to her desired destination, which is pretty entertaining to watch. She's really into blocks and shapes, and when they roll across the hardwoods, she'll roll right after them to get them back. So cute!

Other than that, we're doing good! Taylor and I are going on our first post-baby vaca in a few weeks. We're going to Denver, just for a weekend, but I'm super excited. It will be so nice to get out of this awful heat and it will be fun to have some grown up time together!




Ta, ta for now!

True Colors?

I keep telling Mommy and Daddy that they need to pick up the pace when it comes to putting money in my piggy bank :)


Baby in a Box



This entertained me for a solid 30 minutes...and no, Mommy did not use it as a baby jail. It was pure entertainment!
