Zoë's 1st Gameday

As most of you know college football season is one of Mike & I's favorite seasons, besides baseball. Yesterday was the opening game for OSU and Tech, which is another point of contention. As you all know started my illustrious college career in Stillwater at OSU, and although I attend Tech and will graduate from Tech, I am still a Cowboy fan tried and true. Some may say I bleed orange. Mike thinks this is silly since I never graduated and Zoë is caught in the middle of our "house divided". So to please the masses she wore her OSU jersey during the OSU game and her Tech onesie during the Tech game. This should be a fun season!

We're back...

So, I realized that I haven't posted in a minute. We've been super busy!! We visited Houston and had been getting ready for the start of our LAST year of our undergrad work. Houston was so much fun. It was nice seeing everybody and introducing Zoë.
We first went to go visit Zoë's Godparents, Brandon & Lindsey. It was nice to relax and hang out with them. We had dinner and they took care of the baby, and they did a good job. Zoë got to meet Brandon & Lindsey's kiddos, two adorable puppies Sadie & Sam. They were great with Zoë, especially Sam who was so in tune with her noises.

Then we got to visit with Andrea & Erin. They cooked dinner for us and we got to hang out and visit. Erin can't wait to babysit and Andrea was excited Zoë didn't scream when she held her (apparently she has that problem with babies, but she seemed fine to Mike and I).

The next day Zoë got to meet her cousins Madeline and Dakota. The girls were so sweet together and their Nana was so happy to have all of them together. She got them all matching hoodies for the photo opportunity, but they were too big, so we'll try it again over Christmas.

Finally Zoë got to meet the Marlatts. We had a great time watching Noah be a chimney sweep and Wyatt land surf. The boys were super sweet with the baby and, of course, Laura and Josh were excited to see the baby. That night we had a "grown-ups" dinner with out the kids at the Red Onion Cafe and it was YUMMY! Too bad the Crave cupcakes afterwards were not.

We had a great time, obviously. We really can't wait to see everybody over Christmas!!!

Bath time!

So, Zoë loves bath time. She can be super fussy and as soon as she hears the running water she calms down. Mike thinks this correlates to the fact that she kicks her legs and strokes her arms a lot, since he thinks she's a born swimmer. Maybe he's right, or maybe the Olympics have gotten to his head.

New sleep position

So, I've mentioned before that I love watching my daughter sleep. The past week she's started this new sleep position with one leg hooked over the blankets. This just cracks me up because I do the same thing...it's just cuter when she does it. We're also getting ready for our Houston trip. We cant wait to see everybody!

12 POUNDS!! 12 POUNDS!!!

So, I had to go to the doctor Wednesday for my 6 week postpartum check-up. Zoë has had really bad baby acne, so I was asking the PA about it and she though it was more than just typical baby acne and needed her weight to let us know how much Benadryl to give her. When we went to the doctor for Zoë's 2 week check up, she weighed 9 lbs 2 oz. At 6 weeks our child weighed 12 lbs!! Seriously. Everybody at the doctor were just like,"It's okay, she's healthy." I hope so I know she'll drop weight when she starts crawling and walking too. She doesn't feel that heavy and some of her 0-3 month clothes still are too big. That's it, thats my story I thought I share today.
PS - I didn't have a new pic to put up, so this is a pic from when Aunt Shelby was here last week. ENJOY!
