Things Zoë Can Do

Zoë is 11 weeks old. I can't believe she will be 3 months old next week. Here are some things that she can do now:

1. she has a different cry for how she is feeling.
2. she has found her hands and enjoys sucking on them and hitting at her toys.
3. she likes to pull up on her shirt and blanket to put them in her mouth.
4. she has been sleeping through the night (most nights) for almost 3 weeks now.
5. she smiles ALL the time.
6. she throws in a giggle here and there.
7. she follows objects very well
8. she sleeps in her own room
9. she puts herself to sleep when we lay her down for bed
10. she knows when I am around and will follow me with her eyes.
11. she holds her head up extremely well and can sit in her Bumbo with little support.
12. she is a good little traveler
13. Zoë loves baths
14. Zoë LOVES music.

Those are just a few things that she is doing now for those of you who do not live close enough to us to have the chance to see her. It is really amazing how much she changes from week to week. It is good that I can write a few things down here otherwise I may forget when she could certain things. We weighed her today and are a bit worried. She is at about 10 lbs. At her 2 month check up she was 10.2. Does anyone know how much they are supposed to weigh at 3 months? Her next appointment is September 4th. I guess I thought that she should weigh a lot more than that.

Zoë is definitely a snuggler and enjoys tucking her head on the side of your neck while on your chest. She could stay there all day if I let her. She has been going longer now between feedings. She is not the best at taking a bottle and does better at taking one when I am not around. She will have nothing to do with a binky. She LOVES her baths and will splash her hands into the water and watch her toys. Zoë loves classical music and will listen intently when it is playing. It is funny to watch. The dogs are getting used to her. They do not get the same amount of attention but they are warming up to her.

Anyway, I thought I better write some things down before I forget. :-)
