Hanging out!

Zola had her two month check up and her shots. The shots were very sad! She of course cried, and then was not her happy self for about 36 hours. It was rough! However, she did check out in the 80-90% for weight and height! We thankfully have a healthy little girl!

Getting Big!

We can hardly believe that Zola is approaching 3 months old! Yikes! She is smiling and interacting with us more which is of course a lot of fun. I am totally bummed to be going back to work, wish I could change that... I am already day dreaming of summer. We are headed out to Boise and Utah for Spring break. I am sure it will be a very interesting road trip with a baby, considering I go crazy after about 5 hours in the car..ugh! I love this picture with her cute little toes!

Getting so big!

Well, everyone tells you to cherish this time it goes by so fast! And yes, it certainly does, I think mainly due to sleep deprivation! However, the little gem you have is absoutley perfect and you wouldn't trade it for any other experience! This picture was supposed to capture her cute little pink shoes but it doesn't....can you believe she is 8 weeks old and her 3month old outfits already fit pretty well! I actually weighed her this morning and she is nearly 12lbs! Too cute! I love her so much, such a sweetie! I need to work on capturing a smile, she coos, and smiles quite a bit at us...Eric even saw her laugh the other night in her sleep...probably dreaming of nipples and milk! Anyway, we can't wait for her to laugh...any day now we think!

Baby Z's first bottle!

So this is baby Z's first bottle! It was early enough in the morning that she was so delirous she did not know it was a bottle. She took to it for about 2 minutes. We thought that introducing her to the bottle was going to be a piece of cake! However, we were wrong! She soon discovered it was not the precious breast and was done with it! We spent the next two weeks trying out all the bottles and nipples possible...turns out she likes the cheap $3 bottle and nuk nipple...go figure! So, we are sticking to it for right now! I just wanted her to take something so she is familiar with the bottle when I go to work. It's hard to watch your baby fuss when you can so easily fix the problem for her...everyone fails to tell you all these challenges..seriously? Anyway, the caretakers will have an interesting bout trying to get her to eat more than an ounce when I go back to work! I feel for them and will be glad I won't hear her crying it will break my heart! I figure I have 2 1/2 months to tough it out and then I have all summer with Z, and probably I will be unemployed the way things are going with schools and budget!

Celebrating Erika's 30th Birthday!

Look at us! We are all dressed up for a night on the town. We got to celebrate Miss Erika's 30th birthday at Tabla. It was absolutely delish! We had a good time socializing and Zola was an absolute angel, she slept the whole time! Happy Birthday Erika!
