Let me tell you about this little angel. She didn't start out as an angel. But by her seven month birthday, she's proved she can officially be called an angel.
She's a petite little thing (except for her head), and at seven months is still hovering right around 14 pounds. She's not interested in moving whatsoever. When placed on her belly, she's content for a minute or two, and then squeals and squawks and screams and flails until we flip her over. She figured out the whole rolling thing a month or two ago, but refuses to do it now. She's just barely getting the hang of sitting up on her own, but certainly enjoys the view from that vantage point.
Zoey gives more smiles than cries, and entertains people with her wide open smiles and her signature wiggle dance. She will give anyone a smile as long as mom (or someone familiar) is in her sights.
Zoey loves to be held, but she can also entertain herself fairly well with Ducky McYellow and her other fabulous stuffed friends.
She likes bouncing in her Johnny Jumper and chilling in her bumbo. She adores watching Savy and Dex giggle and play, and wiggles her body in anticipation of the day she can join in their play.
She loves bathtime, and has since she was a wee one. Zoey recently switched to sitting up in the tub and loves splashing around with her big sister and big brother. She's not a fan of getting dressed and protests when things are put over her head, but she puts up with all the cute headbands and bows mom puts on her head (even when they fall down over her eyes).
Zoey used to be a fantastic sleeper and fabulous napper, but she's beginning to throw some serious fits after only sleeping for 45 minutes. She still only sleeps for a five to six hour stretch at night and throws the biggest fit if I try to trick her with the
binkie instead of what she really wants.
She loves to eat, and loves to eat baby food and table food. She intently watches me when I eat, hoping for a chance to try what I'm eating. I've yet to find something she doesn't like.
And like any baby at this age, she puts everything in her mouth.
Zoey Lou is one beautiful baby I simply can't get enough of. She caught the flu last week, which was awful, but I secretly enjoyed the chance I had to snuggle with her for hours on end. She's already growing up too fast and I wish she'd stop.
I sure love you, Zoey Lou.
