Bragging about Zoey!!

Zoey had a Dr appointment this morning and I can't believe how she's grown! The doctor was amazed at how well she eats (8 oz 4 times a day). She is SOOO big, she is in the overall 99th percentile for her age!

Weight: 15 lbs 15 oz
Length: 26 inches
Head: 17 inches

Well, as everyone knows, at well-child visits they usually get shots, Zoey sure got hers today! In the past she has done pretty well with her shots, just a few cries but only for a few minutes after, she usually calms down pretty quick. But today was pretty cool! She got 4 shots, (Dr. and nurse come in together and each give her one at the same time, that way it's over faster and it seems to work pretty well.) Well, they each stick her with the first shot and her eyes get real big, she doesn't cry though, then on the second stick from them she starts to cry. Of course my heart starts to hurt because who likes to hear their baby cry :( Then, before the Dr and nurse even have a chance to stick on the bandaids she stopped crying! She was blowing raspberries and laughing before I even had a chance to stick her pants back on her and pick her up from the shots! I have the most amazing daughter ever!

Here's another great part of it, I put her down for nap later in the afternoon and I hear her wake up but I'm working on stuff so I figured I'd let her play in her crib while I finished what I was doing. When I go in to check on her she has pulled off 2 of the bandaids and was playing with them! Now these bandaids were under her pants so she had to of pulled her pants up to get to them! It was so cute!

Anyways, we have another appointment in 2 months and I hope it goes as well as this one did!


Now it's picture time!!!!!

I know there are a lot of pictures on this post but I have to show some before and after pictures! All the before pictures were taken when she was only 1-2 weeks old. All the after pictures are from the last month or so. She's even grown since some of these pictures!

This is her in her car seat, she's so tiny...

I removed the pink headrest from her carseat within days of taking this picture.

I remember when she had problems keeping her binkie in her mouth...
Now she can take it out and put it in all by herself! (She loved to put in in upside down sometimes!)
She slept in this blue seat the first week of her life...
Now she watches TV in it!

This was taken within hours of her being born (before we left the birth center). I've had to pack away the clothes she was wearing already...

Now she's such a big girl with her bows and jewelry! She use to be so tiny in my arms...
Now she can sit on my hip and is almost at the point of sitting on her own.
Well, thank you for taking the time to look at all these pictures and stroll down memory lane with me!
