Our little Sweet "P" is growing up so fast! Today marks 7 crazy-wonderful months of life. At Zoë's last appointment on November 27th, she weighed 15 lbs 12 oz, and was 27 1/2 inches tall. The pediatrician said he's never seen a baby her age with so much personality!
This past month has been filled with adorable babbling, silly giggles, sitting and rolling, messy food-faces, backwards wiggling, hanging upside-down and discovering more fun ways to interact with one another.
No crawling yet (thank you Jesus!), but this little girl can scooch herself backwards and in circles all around the living room. Zoë is a curious creature - already getting herself into things, like pulling on the cord for the blinds or trying to pullover my potted plant. Zoë also loves paper. Yes, paper. A crumpled up magazine page will keep her entertained for quite some time!
Those little hands have been very active, passing objects from one to the other and often holding two things at once. Today I even saw what may have been her first wave! As far as eating goes - there has been more "munch" and "mess" than actual eating, and Zoë's strong gag reflex is keeping her from learning the important skill of swallowing. So, for now she sticks to "lick-munch-suck-spit." But she does like the taste of things - apples especially, mango, pear, carrots and multi-grain cheerios.
Look at that big girl sitting up all by herself!
Oh, and another thing that has been going on...teething! Nothing much to show yet, but there are two little pearly white peaks poking out from her bottom gum. It's been a week already without much progress and quite a bit of pain, but we are hoping that they will come in by Christmas. :)
