Zoey singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Zoey has begun singing. The only way I can tell is that she gets quite, and talks in a super high pitched voice. Here is a video that sort of demonstrates what she is doing. It is silly cute!!

7 Months

Wow. Zoey. Stop growing. Just a short 30 weeks ago, you had no idea who we are; you never smelled food, saw color or even made a peep. Now, just 210 days later you know when I get home, when Mommy is making a bottle for you, scream when you drop your favorite toy, put anything and everything in your mouth. You even prefer things. You love eating your feet, smiling at anyone who looks at you and cry when we both leave your sight. You can even tell the difference between the dogs, you look at birds above your bed, and even get happy when I say the word "bath".

Amazing, simply amazing. You even know when things have gone out of style. We used to play a game every time you woke up. I would hold you up and have you touch your mobile above your changing table. You loved it. You would smile; struggle to grab the brightly colored paper cutouts of bottles, bibs and pacifiers. Each time you reached out, you would get better and better, grabbing something faster each time. Today, you stopped. I held you up, and you smiled, looked at the mobile and then looked at me, with a look in your eye, like you wanted to say "come on Dad, that was so 24 hours ago".

Today I realized that we are going to be in trouble, big trouble. You, Zoey will be strong willed, making up your mind and taking after Mommy, being stubborn with your decisions and never yielding to what you don’t want or like. I for one, think this is great, but man are we in for some trouble. Trouble I tell you.

Mother of a day...

Yesterday was my first mother's day and it was good. I woke up and hung out near my Mom most of the day. Dad was there too. He is a good guy. He helped me pick out a kick-ass necklace for Mom and helped me wrap it, I picked out the box and tape though. Mom just loved it, it looks like me, but in white gold, she likes white gold. Then we went to my grandma's house. We brought the dogs, Cassie tried to sit on me but Mom helped me. When we got there, I was super tired from the long drive that I had to take a nap for a little bit. My cousin, Izzy woke me up. She is silly and likes to play with my toys too. My Mom took a picture of us playing. My Aunt and Uncle were there too, having fun. After I ate, I went outside and then got tired again and when I woke up I was at home. Now I am writing this. I think I am going somewhere soon, Mom keeps putting my clothes in a bag and then takes them out again, then puts them in again. I am not sure what is going on. I just hope that I can play with my Einstein musical toy today. Now I am hungry and sleepy. I have to go and let Mom know how I feel... Waaaaaaahhhhh....Wahhhhaaaaaahhhh.

Weekend is over.

The weekend is over. Michael and his new girlfriend is home. Zoey was fussy all weekend and it went ok, but if she was less fussy, it would have been better. Oh well. We have some good videos and pictures which I will put up in the next few days. The reason it will take so long, is that I got the reverse osmosis system that I need to put in first. Back to Zoey, She wore her Easter bunny ears and was really cute. She had a little dress on that matched her cousin, Isabella.

This week we are going to Blue Man Group and we are having Deb watch her that night. That will be lots of fun, a night out without the baby! Not that we don't like her or what to pass her off, but it is nice to get out alone, just Mommy and Daddy time.

Speaking of Mommy and Daddy, I have been repeating over and over, Daddy, Daddy... so that Zoey's first word will be, you guessed it Daddy! We will keep you informed.
