Sleepy baby

For all of you that are parents, or know parents, you know that in the first few months of life, it is often difficult to get babies to sleep/stay asleep. It is no different in our household. But I look at or child while she is sleeping and it takes my breath away. For all of the frustration, lack of sleep and tears, seeing that little baby sleeping is truly a wonder and a blessing. I am so lucky to be a mom

Growth spurt

So...I think Zoë has hit her 6 week growth spurt. Besides the fact that she turned 6 weeks on Saturday, yesterday all she wanted to do was eat & she would only sleep for 15-20 minutes at a time (for maybe a total of 1-1.5 hours ALL DAY). But through all of the nursing and her crying a sweet moment happened. Petey, our first child/dog, I think has finally accepted Zoë as a member of the family. It's not that he didn't like her before, he would just smell her head and move on, she just didn't necessarily register in his world. But yesterday he was sweet and attentive with her, he even laid with her on the bed. It made the craziness of the day worth it in the end.

One more try...

So, I've been unsuccessful in my blogging attempts, but maybe 3rd times a charm.

As most of you know, Zoë was born June 14 at 11:45 am. She was 8 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. Every day is a new adventure, and its those adventures (or misadventures) I hope to share.
