Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our little monkey!

My Breathing Treatments

Our poor Zoe has been really sick. She ended up having a cold that developed into bronchiolitis, which can be very serious in an infant. Anyway, Zoe ended up having to do breathing treatments and she felt so bad that she just sat there and breathed in the medicine through her mask. I've attached a pic of our little cutie. I'm happy to report that we went back to the pediatrician on October 31st to have her lungs checked again and she is doing much better! Her lungs are MUCH better. Thank God!

Getting Ready for Halloween!

I bought Zoe a onesie that says "Daddy's Little Pumpkin" that she wore to daycare yesterday. I also bought a Halloween hat and bib! (I couldn't help myself.) Just wanted to share cute little Zoe. She still has her cold and was so over having her picture taken! I wonder where she gets these faces from? You get one guess.......

What Happens When Daddy Watches Me

This past weekend Zoe got sick with a cold. It's actually a pretty bad one. She sounds like a60 year old man that has smoked for 40 years. So, Mommy took her to see the pediatrician and then she spent the day at home with Daddy. I've attached a few pics of what happens when Zoe stays at home with Daddy. As you can see, she doesn't match, the pad has been removed from the changing table (you can imagine what accident happened for it to be removed) and she has food all over her from eating lunch! Daddy called Mommy at work and said, "We need you to come home because Mommy does it better!" It was hysterical! Daddy did a GREAT job with Zoe (as always), but this was too funny not to share!

I Really Like Carrots

We started feeding Zoe cereal with a spoon on September 26, 2006. Our pediatrician told us that once she got the hang of eating cereal with a spoon to start introducting her to vegetables and fruits. We decided to go with the vegetables first and tonight we tried carrots. A really good friend gave me some great advice....to mix the carrots with her cereal until she gets used to the texture and flavor. It was GREAT advice because she ate every bite! She loved it. I've attached pics of her eating her carrots. Enjoy!

Zoe....The Eskimo

As my last post explained, it was very cold here Friday so I had to dress Zoe up warmly. That meant putting her new winter coat on her before we went to daycare. She reminded me of Ralphie's little brother in "A Christmas Story." For those of you who have seen it, you'll appreciate my humor. It was too funny!

My Squirrel Outfit

This past Friday it was REALLY cold here and around Nashville. Morning temperatures were in the lower 30's and I LOVED IT! I'm so ready for cold weather. Anyway, I dressed Zoe in a cute squirrel outfit and she was adorable......as always.

Playin' with My Exersaucer

Zoe loves her exersaucer and, particularly, this one toy on it that spins and plays nursery rhymes. I had to take a pic of her playing with it. She gets very excited by it. Oh, by the way, Zoe is now rolling around. She has been rolling from her stomach to her back for quite some time and has rolled from her back to her stomach only a couple of times. That latter one takes a lot more coordination to accomplish. Anyway, Zoe has just started rolling A LOT. You can't place her on her back in the floor anymore without her rolling to her stomach and vice versa. If you don't watch her closely, she rolls right off her blankets now. I'm sure if we didn't stop her she would keep on going!

Watching Football with Daddy

I don't know what else to say, but Zoe loves to watch TV. It's funny because every Saturday her and Daddy lay around on the couch and watch college football. I finally remembered to grab the camera and snap some pics. I don't know what other 4 1/2 month old would be so content to lay around and watch football, but she is! And we don't even own any "baby videos" for her to watch. She's too cute!

The Bumbo

We bought Zoe a new seat called a "Bumbo." This seat is supposed to help build strength to help her sit up on her own. I was kind of skeptical about it, but it is an amazing seat. It really works and Zoe loves it. Daddy decided to feed her cereal in it instead of in her bouncy seat. It was amazing to see her just sitting up like this.

My New Exersaucer

Zoe started spending time in the exersaucer at day care and, since she was doing so well with holding her head up and supporting herself, we decided we needed to buy one for her at home. Attached are pics of Zoe spending time in her exersaucer.....she LOVES it!

I Love Cereal

When we went for Zoe's four month checkup, Dr. Beveridge said it was time to start feeding her cereal with a spoon. I had been feeding her cereal every night in her bottle before she went to bed so she would sleep through the night, but now she wanted us to feed her cereal three times per day with a spoon. I've attached pics of Daddy feeding her tonight. It was too funny!
