Milestones and other madness!

Yesterday was Grandma D's birthday. Zoe got to meet her Grandma's friends M and B, and she spent a lot of time hanging with Uncle J.



I thought I'd write some of the milestones Zoe's accomplished recently. About a week ago, she started grabbing at things, like my hair and my shirt. She also started tracking things with her eyes about the same time. How exciting! Her attention span has been getting longer and longer, too.



Tuesday, we went and got her a fun swing. Zoe didn't know what to do with it at first, but she's starting to nap in it, much to Mommy's happiness!! She likes to look at the tree frog that hangs in front of her when she's in there. She likes it on the lowest setting as well...that just conks her out!



Sunday, now that was an eventful day. She had her first official bath (sponge baths to this point). She liked it, until she didn't. If we had stopped it a little sooner, there wouldn't have been tears at all. Zoe didn't even mind having water poured over her head! She also had her first bottle from Daddy. Unfortunately, milk comes out of that a LOT faster than she's used to, so we have to practice that slowly with her.



Wednesday, Mommy started seeing a glimmer of a smile from Zoe. And, then, on Thursday morning, Mommy went to get her out of her crib, and there was a big goofy grin! No, it wasn't gas. It was a different smile than a gas one. Her eyes lit up! She did this twice, and then almost did it for Daddy right after. Later in the day, she did it again! Mommy was VERY excited. She's going to try to get it on camera, but it's SOO hard to time it right! She'll do the best she can!!

Zoe's already starting to hold her head a little more than before. It's great to see her get stronger every day! We're so proud of our girl!!
