Happy Half Birthday! 26 weeks

Zoey turned 6 months old this week!  Time is flying by!  She had a ton of firsts that we get to talk about but first, lets talk about her stats!  She is 17lbs 12 oz and between 26 and 27" tall.  She is running around in her walker bumping into everything.  She smiles at anyone and anything.  The things that make her laugh the most is when mommy "eats" her tummy at bedtime.  She loves grabbing faces and when mommy pops her hand out of her mouth.

This week Zoey continued her quest into the world of solids.  Zoey's second food was squash and it took 3 days to get her used to it!  First she made some really funny faces and tried spitting it out.  By day three she was ok with it, but definitely not a favorite food!

Zoey also started to feed herself from her straw sippy.  She can hold the cup herself and get the straw to her mouth!  She's growing up so very fast!  She really does like her straw sippy.  With a bottle, the few times she would take one, she would take 2-3 oz total.  With a sippy straw cup she drinks up to 6 or 7 ozs!

Because Zoey was going to start swim lessons next week, we decided to buy her an inflatable bathtub since she had never been in water other than taking showers with Mommy.  At first, she was apprehensive.  She cried.  Then Mommy showed her how to splash and after that she LOVED the tub!

On Friday, Zoey started swim lessons.  She did awesome, even if she was a little scared of going under the water.  They had us have them practice on a belly board, hang on to the side, go under water, and show her how to blow bubbles.  Overall she did great!

Finally, we did her six month photoshoot.  She LOVED posing for the camera we got some AMAZING pictures of my gorgeous girl!
