Look Who's 3 Months Old

Well, we've have some very exciting things happening lately. Dave's dad came to visit us from Pittsburgh for a few days during Spring Break. He met Zoey for the first time and they instantly fell in love with each other. Then we made our first road trip to Branson for leadership weekend with our kamp friends. Zoey did fabulously well in the car and it only took two hours longer than normal. Not bad for beginners.

Zoey is now three months and cuter than ever. She smiles all the time and even squeals when she's really happy. She found her fists and loves to put them in her mouth. She's even started rubbing her little eyes when she's sleepy. She hasn't rolled over, yet, but she can roll onto her side especially when she's trying to get her fist into her mouth.

A bunch of 'FIRSTS' in our household

Last night Dave and I went on our FIRST date since Zoey was born. We went to Mastergrill...yummy...and my mom and dad watched Zoey. We had a blast and so did Grammy and Papa. Apparently they love spending time with their grand-daughter :>)

Last night, Zoey slept through the night for the FIRST time. I fed her at 10pm when Dave and I returned from our date and she didn't wake up until 6:50am. I, of course, woke up at 4am which is when she usually wakes me up to eat. I went into her room and she was sound asleep. I figured she would wake up in a few minutes so I went back to bed to wait. Well, the next time I heard her

it was morning. We're so excited.

Last weekend, we took Zoey on her FIRST weekend away. Our friend Jimmy was in the states visiting from China where he is a missionary. He got a group of his friends together for a relaxing and very fun weekend at Selah Inn.

does NOT like shots

Let me tell you about the worst day ever. It was Thursday, March 1st, 2007 and I took Zoey in for her two month check-up. Dr Day said she looks great. She's in the 55% for weight, the 75% for length and very healthy. Then two nurses came in and gave her 5 shots in her little legs at the same time. They were very sweet and went very quickly but Zoey cried like I've never heard her cry before. It broke my heart into a billion pieces. Since her shots, Zoey hasn't been herself. We went back to see Dr Day yesterday because Zoey had a bit of blood in her spit-up and stool. He's going to run some tests and in the meantime he put her on reflux medicine and took all dairy out of my diet. I'll keep everyone posted...

I'm 2 months old!

Hello! My name is Zoey and I am 2 months old today. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to find out how much I weigh and how long I am. I am NOT looking forward to getting my first set of shots. My mom is not excited either. I am so happy to be a part of the Cribbs family. My mom and dad think I am the coolest thing ever and they think everything I do is so adorable. I can almost hold up my head on my own but why would I want to do that since everyone does it for me? Every time I start to smile at my family they run and get this small, silver box that flashes in my face. Weird. My favorite things to do are eat, sleep and cuddle. I do not like having my diaper changed or my nose cleaned and I'm starting to tolerate my baths more and more. Well, I'll let you know how it goes at the doctor's tomorrow. Until then...

baby bed-head

Guess what happens when you give a bath to a baby with alot of hair and then lay her down for a nap before it completely dries. You get baby bed-head. Zoey is sporting the latest in baby fashion...the baby mohawk.

She is 8 weeks old today. I can't believe she's been with us that long. She still smiles from time to time, however, we haven't been able to catch the full smile on film, yet. She's still making the baby grunting noises, but lately she has started making "goo-goo" noises. It's pretty cute.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. My aunts Lisa and Alix and my cousin Erin came all the way from Jacksonville, Florida this past weekend to meet Zoey. We had a blast hanging out with them. Zoey was a perfect doll and showed off all her cutest faces and noises. She was showered with gifts including this outfit from Auntie Alix and a Steelers cheer leading outfit from Auntie Lisa. Zoey will be 7 weeks tomorrow. She officially smiles in response to something especially her toys. It doesn't happen too often, but when she does smile, my heart simply melts.

The Superbowl Snuggle

After the Superbowl, Dave and I bundled Zoey up and took her on a walk. I was freezing, she was as sung as a bug. Zoey will be six weeks old tomorrow. She has longer periods of of wake time and makes all sorts of gurgles and grunts. Every once in a while her fist will find its way into her mouth, but for the most part she still has no control of her arms and legs. She is slowly figuring out that night time is for sleeping and sleeps longer stretches during the pm. For that we are truly thankful.
