Every little thing she does is magic

Zoe has had such a week. On Tuesday, May 23 she had her 4 month well baby checkup. She got 2 shots, one in each leg, and she didn't even cry! Her weight is up to 15 lbs. 7 oz. and her length is 24 1/2 inches. Later that evening she tried rice cereal for the first time. By the end she was opening her mouth for the food. Her strength has been improving. She can stand with support and loves her exersaucer. She is also able to hold her head and chest up during tummy time.

On Sunday we went to her Pap's for dinner and on Monday her other Grandfather visited with Uncle Andrew. Well, that's it for this week.

This baby's gettin' good!

Well we have hit a milestone one day after Zoe turned 4 months old - she rolled over from her tummy to her back! Everyone was present for the monumentous event - Mommy, Daddy and the cats. We all cheered her on. We expect her to roll from back to tummy any day now. Zoe has also discovered her lower lip this week. I will include in this post a photo of her with her new pout face. Perhaps a glimpse into her "terrible twos"? She usually likes to include a closed fist and a punch or two with this new face. It's quite funny.
This week Zoe received a large package from our friend Solange in Holland. She got a lot of great gifts and many zebra things. Thank you Solange! I know you're reading this.

Growing and Learning

Hi everyone!
It is my turn to post this week and I have some CUTE pictures for you.
Zoe seems to learn something new each day. This week she is playing with her hands and starting to really be interested in her toys. For the first time she grabbed a toy and put it in her mouth. We have been working on tummy time and rolling over.
Also this week I got out the keyboard and she was actually hitting the keys. I think she likes the preprogrammed songs the keyboard plays. This weekend we went out shopping at the mall and to the shops in Intercourse/Kitchen Kettle Village. She loves looking at all the people. Her Pap and Grandma came over for a nice dinner on Saturday.
Okay enough talk, let me upload some photos!

Zoe in her car seat. To get her to not cry when I first put her in I sing silly songs and tell her how pretty she is. This is the biggest smile I've gotten yet!

"Hey, these toys are neat!"

One of my favorite outfits. It is yellow with pink cats.
