I absolutely love being a parent to little Zoey right now. It is probably one of the funnest things I have done in my life. A few months ago, I felt sad for parents. It was so hard at first. You may have seen my sob stories from before. I wondered why everyone kept having kids. Why would everyone keep willingly subjecting themselves to that? I wished that no one would ever have to go through the hardship I was going through.
Dramatic? Maybe so, but I really had a though time adjusting. I like to tell myself that my baby really was harder to care for than some babies. That's all over now though!
I am so happy to see her perfect little smile all the time! She is sooo much happier and well behaved now. She is learning so much all the time. Zoey is my little angel!
Now I wish that everyone had a chance to experience parenthood. What we are going through right now is so worth everything I went through before. Maybe I am just saying that because I am not going through the hard part now. Maybe I have forgotten what I really felt like a few months ago. Now I am elated! And it's even winter.. who knew? It's a lot like a felt when I fell in love with Tanner. I love everything she does. sometimes I get a little annoyed of her whining, but it's different than it was before. Now, the annoyance is masked with a big coat of adoration. I can't explain it. You just have to experience it for yourself. It's amazing!

Zoey is standing and other development
December 12, 2013
Three times today, Zoey stood by herself for about 3 or 4 seconds. That is really good compared to the split seconds that she has been doing. I think you can count this week as her first steps too. She can really only take one, maybe two by herself, and it is mostly as she is falling, but we'll count it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would guess that is what they mean when they are talking about the first step. Either way, she is going to be standing alone consistently pretty soon. and even walking. She is really on the go. Only 7 months old. Go Zoey! Momma's so proud!
Just to update about the previous posts.. she is still sleeping in her crib, naps and nights. She doesn't sleep well next to me anymore or while I am holding her. she squirms a lot. So, she really is there to stay. I'm not even thinking about turning back. It is amazing that she can put herself back to sleep a lot of the times she wakes up. The longest she has gone through the night without wanting to nurse is 6 hours and that is not often. She usually wakes every 3-4 hours. I am not in a hurry to spread the feedings out. If they don't spread out on their own, then I we'll deal with it when it is unbarable, but for now, its fine.
The army crawl is still the way she does it. She is definitely strong enough to crawl normal, but doesn't.
She now has 2 teeth. Right next to each other. They are not all the way in yet, but you can see them pretty clearly.
She actually goes to people pretty easily now. She does get nervous if I am too far away and she can see me. But she has been letting other people hold her and play with her, which is more than we could say about her last month.
We don’t go out without her anymore.
