Three Months Old!



Zoey is officially 3 months old and change :) It's been amazing seeing the changes even over the past couple weeks.

Her 3 month check went really well. For the first time she didn't scream at the doctor and even had some smiles for him. It was great and nice to be able to say "See! She's so cute when she's not bellowing in your face!". We were so happy to hear a good overall report as well. She's right on track with her growth and development. She weighed 12 pounds and 5 ounces and is a whopping 24 and a 1/2 inches long! As far as weight goes she is right in the average, but for length, just as we suspected, she is way above the average. She is fitting into some 6 month clothing now just because she is so long! Our little skinnie minnie!

Sleep wise she has been doing great! For the past month she seems to only wake up once for a feeding and then last night a miracle! Something that we were not sure would ever happen again! We slept all night! At 6:30am this morning I went down to get her out of bed because mommy NEEDED to feed her. She was just hanging out in there awake but not fussing. Unbelievable! Sleeping like a big girl. We couldn't be more proud.



She's also starting to giggle here and there. Something has to be really funny to elicit that beautiful sound but it's amazing seeing those reactions beginning to show up. I am also equally thrilled to see Henry make her giggle. That quality daddy daughter time is so so important and sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the craziness and forget to slow down and hand her to Henry and say "Have you held her today?". I'm so amazingly proud of Henry and how hard he works for our family, but I know that we both wish he was able to have even more time with her. She sure loves her daddy. This weekend was good for them as far as quality time goes. We spent Saturday together relaxing and playing with her and then enjoyed a really nice bedtime routine. A very nice weekend indeed.

Finally, my cousin had a gorgeous baby girl last night! It's so special that we have little girls of the same age and to top it off they share the same middle name! Very cool. Hopefully they will be able to spend sometime together over the years and have a special relationship like the one my cousin and I share. I think that would be amazing :)
