Wow! A reminder from my mom made me look at the last post date - Dec 14!! Sheesh - that's like 6 weeks ago! Well, a lot has happened in that time - the holidays and Christmas break, some time off of work for David, a family trip to San Francisco, the start of my last semester, and of course - Zoe-oe-oe. :)
She will be 9 months old on Monday, already! She is scooting herself all around the floor, pulling herself up to standing, and has just started standing herself without support (not for long, but still!). She claps her hands and smiles, dances and bounces to music (especially techno), jibbers and babbles and laughs at herself, loves to play Peek-a-Boo, and lights up Daddy's world when he comes home. She loves sitting with us and playing in our laps; she hates it when we walk out of the room or leave her in her crib for naptime. She's sleeping at night pretty well - this last week, she has been sleeping 9 or 10 hour stretches again. We'll get her 9 month check up on Monday, and see how much she weighs and how tall she is. She has been having teething pains since she was almost 3 months old, but no teeth have broken through yet. She sucks on her fingers a lot, though. We are also waiting for some nice dark curly hair to sprout out on her head - still lots of "peach fuzz" up there right now. lol. Zoe is so precious, indeed, and we are blessed to be enjoying her.
We welcomed a new niece into the family on Monday (Jan 25). Little Kenzie is soooo precious. We went last night to officially meet her (man! did Zoe look HUGE compared to the tiny baby!). Such preciousness these little babies are!
Hopefully, I'll be posting on here more often, so check back again soon. :)
