Happy 9 Weeks, Sweet Girl!

Tomorrow you will be 9 weeks old! I can't believe how fast the time is flying by us, sweet baby girl. Here are 9 things about you at 9 weeks old.

1 ~ You love to eat, and sometimes you only do it for comfort. You haven't quite realized yet that your stomach is only "so" big. Hence why you go through so many outfits per day!!

2 ~ Smiling is your favorite, and it makes Mommy SO happy. I can't wait until you start giggling.

3 ~ You love to be swaddled.

4 ~ You love to be held - by most anyone.

5 ~ You are hardly ever cranky. If you grex, you either have gas bubbles, are hungry, or are tired.

6 ~ You have been cooing for about 2 weeks now. I have a feeling you're going to be a "talker" like your Daddy, your Nana, your Aunt Coral, and your Boo-Boo.

7 ~ You love your Daddy, especially his voice. Ever since you were in Mommy's belly, you always responded to his voice, whether he was talking to you or to Mommy. Now, whether he's holding you or Mommy is, you find his voice and you just stare him down! He loves you more than anything, too.

8 ~ You are a Nosy Nelly. You fight sleep because you don't want to miss a thing.

9 ~ You have several nicknames already! Daddy thinks you look like a bean, so he calls you "Bean", "Zoey-Bean", or "Zo-Zo-Bean". This has led Aunt Coral to call you "Bean-O" because of your lethal pooper, and "Beanie". Mimi calls you "Princess", and sometimes you are so special she even calls you "The Princess". "Bean" is probably the nickname that will stick, and I find myself calling you that every once in awhile too, although Mommy still can't help but call you "Baby" because you'll always be my Baby!

Happy 9 weeks Baby Girl! You are the light of our lives and we love you more than you'll ever know. It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming you into the world!



Zoey's First Vaccinations

Zoey had her 2-month check up and got her first vaccinations. She was such a brave little girl - Mommy, not so much! At 2 months, Zoey weighs 11 pounds, 12 ounces and is 22 1/2 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for her height and the 70th percentile for her weight. The doctor and nurse say she is growing right on target!

 My poor girl's band-aids


The aftermath - she slept for several hours that afternoon, plus from 9:30pm - 5:15am. She sure was tuckered!

The Many Faces of Zoey
















From Hoffman to Salaneck

Congratulations Steph and Teddy! We had a blast at your wedding! Eric danced the night away with Zoey, putting her to sleep right in his arms. Before that, Zoey got passed around like a football to lots of relatives and friends to lots of "oohs and ahhs" and "she's so cutes!"















Mimi's Birthday Vacation

We went to the beach to celebrate Mimi's birthday and Coral's one-year anniversary of being cancer-free. Daddy couldn't go with us because of work, so we missed him a lot, but we had a good time with Mimi, Boo-Boo, Coral, Tim, and Aiden!
