6 Weeks Old Today!

I promise, as soon as Noah uploads pictures and resizes them, I'll put them up. We have lots of new pictures to show the new things that Zoe is doing.

Zoe is now grabbing at things and smiling up a storm. She's starting to coo and talk, and we have lots of little 'conversations' during the day...she says some pretty important stuff if you just listen hard enough!! Yesterday, after her bath, Zoe was in her bassinet just hanging out. She had just gotten dressed, and Mommy and Daddy needed to clean up. Daddy looks in, and she has a rattle around her arm! How she did that, we don't know, but we DID get a picture...She doesn't really know what to do with rattles yet on her own, but with Mommy and Daddy's help, she's able to shake them!

Speaking of, Zoe is now tracking by sight and sound. She's our little genius! She's also rolling onto her side if we put her down on her back and she's awake. She's been doing this awhile, but now it seems like it might lead into a full blown roll-over soon!!

Sunday, Zoe had her first Easter. She spent it with Mommy's side of the family. Grampa hid eggs filled with sour jelly beans (Daddy loved that!!), and Auntie J helped her find them. She wore a very cute button outfit with bunnies on her feet and a bunny tail on her bum. She was quite worn out at the end of the day....

Before that, we had St Patty's Day. Zoe had a cute t-shirt from her Grandma B, and just looked snazzy, as usual.

Zoe has also had a couple of *real* baths, now that her belly button has completely, totally healed. She really doesn't mind the bath!! Daddy got a LOT of pictures of her enjoying, and then not enjoying, her bath. Most are not meant for public viewing, but we'll post a couple that are.

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a carrier for Zoe and Mommy. This will help Mommy be able to keep Zoe close (she just loves to be cuddled all day!!) but still be able to do things around the house! Mommy never realized how hard it'd be just to empty the dishwasher with a little baby in her arms!!

Updated 3/28: Here's a picture of Zoe with her Grand-Memere (Mommy's Memere, Grandmother for those who aren't in the know). This is the woman from who Zoe got her middle name. We feel very lucky to be able to get a picture of the two of them together.
