Little Miss Zoe

I've been keeping a calendar that hangs in Zoe's room with all the "firsts" and other fun things that she does.  Here are just a couple to share with you...

1.  We've got another smiley baby!  It's been so fun to watch Zoe interact with Mia.  She loves her big sister so much and Mia knows just how to make her laugh.  I have a hard time thinking of anything better than hearing a newborn laugh!

 2.  "Give me that blankey so I can shove it in my face!"  There are a few things so far that Mia never did that Zoe does.  One is covering her face with a soft blankey to cuddle and sleep and another is drooling.  Gosh - we are already sick of the wet collars and shirts, but I have a feeling it's not going away anytime soon!
3.  Swaddle me NOT.  This is a slogan we became very familiar with soon after Zoe came home from the hospital.  Upon trying the ever-so-popular "swaddling" technique we loved with Mia, our Zoe would grunt and squirm until at least one arm was free.  We give up!  Swaddling is a thing of the past for this family.  :)

4.  Two words: Mama's Girl.  Uh-oh, is this going to be painful going back to work or what?  You have begun to show several of our friends that you have become a mama's girl by crying your guts out when someone else picks you up.  Buenos suerte, Papi!
Lastly, we were a little delayed in getting Zoe's room set up, but we finally have a nursery!  Even though we don't have your nap schedule nailed down just yet, you have a room to call your own that you may need to thank me for one day since your dad wasn't giving up his office without a fight!
