She's on a Roll

This Thursday, while my mom was watching Zoe, she rolled over from her back to her stomach for the first time. Apparently she lifted her legs up to her chest, turned a bit and BAM! She was on her stomach. She did this all day for my mom, but when we got home from work, nothing. I guess she was all tired out.

Of course, the next day, first thing in the morning, Cheryl lays her down to make sure she still has the gift and up went her legs and over went the baby. It was pretty awesome to see. We tried desperately to get it on video, but she was very camera shy. Luckily, we did manage to catch a couple short clips.





With all of the other footage that we took, I felt bag having it kind of go to waste. So, I took some time and put together an action trailer that would lead up to her roll. Enjoy!



It was Cheryl's 33rd birthday on Friday and Zoe's 3 month birthday as well. Again, we made our way to a photobooth, this time the color one at Millennium Skate World in Camden; however, like last time, I still haven't scanned the pictures yet. (I know, I know. I'll do it soon.)

Today we were actually able to take her 3 month picture. Unlike the other times, where I think I only uploaded one or two of them, I put up a whole bunch. Here are just a few.



As always, Zoe's set on Flickr has the rest of the set, along with these videos.

Meet the Flintstones?!?

Cheryl wanted me to share the following with everyone. These are her words, not mine. Frankly, I know I'm the lucky one. So obviously the blog is Michael's thing, which is great really because if it were up to me it would have started and ended with 99 days left! But I wanted to make a post so I could thank Michael for everything he has done for me throughout this pregnancy and most of all during delivery. There is no question that being with Michael is the smartest thing I've ever done and Zoe is lucky to call him Dad. The reason we had a planned c-section was that Zoe was 'unstable lie'. In the 4 weeks before she was due she was breech, head down, breech, and then head down again. As it was explained to us, this is pretty rare. They expected that even if she was in the right position when I went into labor, she would turn during contractions creating a dangerous situation for all of us. The day of surgery I was still pretty calm. Once I was prepp...

She Poops Because She Cares

One week ago today, Zoe was born. She seems to have adjusted to life in West Philly fairly well. Her pink blanket is one of her favorites to snuggle up with; however, we did learn that much like her father, she hates to bathe. So her first appointment with the peditrician was Wednesday at 11:00am. She seemed to enjoy her ride in the car again, and by that I mean she was passed out the whole way there. The doctor said she was looking good. The jaundice that she had in the hospital is no longer a concern now that she's eating and going to the bathroom regularly. Also, she's working her way back up to her birth weight. After being born at 8lbs 8ozs, she dropped down to 7lbs 13ozs when she was discharged from the hospital. At her appointment she weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs. Later in the day while I was out shopping for essentials (and comic books) Zoe was getting fussy with her mother. We're not entirely sure what the issue was, but we did find out that she loves her swing....

What You Talking About Zoe?

For a while now, Zoe has used several words in rotation. It's hard to say when or what her first word was, but somewhere around 12 months she seemed to be saying "ball" and "cat" regularly. Cat was most likely her first word. At least it was the first word caught on film. We should probably take a moment here to recall the progression of what she calls us. It started out normally with "mama" and "dada". Then progressed to "mommy," but it took a strange turn before it made its way to "daddy". There were several steps before that one. In no particular order, they were "da-mommy", "dummy" and "bummy". My personal favorite was when she would call me "dadadadadadada", but that didn't last very long. Today we're just mommy and daddy. Over the past couple of weeks, Zoe has been mimicking words we say, but just this past weekend she seemed to develop a whole set of words. For ins...
