6 months!

old pictures, new page

I finally got around to making a scrapbook page for these pictures - I'm so behind! I'm trying to get some pages done in the next few days because I start a new part-time job teaching at an online school on Monday. Needless to say, my schedule will be pretty full between 2 jobs, a baby, and a husband in grad-school full time. It's never boring around here :-)

5 months!

Okay, so she is really closer to six months now, but here is her 5 month picture.

Here is what Zoe's been up to lately:
-She can crawl like a maniac! She's really fast now, especially if she sees a cell phone that she wants
-She sits up by herself. I'm actually very impressed by how straight she is sitting up now.
-She can easily go from sitting to crawling to sitting
-She is starting to pull herself up on things like the couch and the sides of her crib. Once I found her all the way up on her feet, but usually she's just standing on her knees with one hand on the couch or baby gate.
-She LOVES to eat. Surprising considering her parents :-) She has liked everything we've given her so far but I think that carrots and oatmeal are her favorites.
-She likes to give kisses
-She has 2 little bottom teeth
-She loves bathtime
-She likes to flip over onto all fours when we're trying to change her diaper - not cool
-She loves sitting in her new big-girl carseat, sitting up in the cart at the store, and going on walks in her stroller
-She notices whenever we leave the room and screams for us to come back
-She's getting better about going down for a nap when we just put her in her crib and tell her that it's naptime
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now. We sure love this little girl!

Crawling!!!

Zoe is crawling! She's not super fast yet, but I'm sure she will be within the next few days. You can see her 3 favorite toys in this video - the snot sucker, my cell phone, and an empty pepsi bottle. Seriously, why do we even buy her toys when these are her favorites?!?!

the rest of the story

she's on the move - as you can see from the photos - and doesn't like to sit still for pictures anymore. i guess i have to start chasing her now!

Are we done yet?

We tried to do 4-month pictures this morning - she obviously was not very into it :-) She's down for a nap now. Hopefully we can get some more good ones later!

Rice Cereal!
