8 Month Update
I have been so busy and since I haven’t written in a long time I have SO MUCH to write about.
So the mommy meet up was last sunday and I have no photos to show for it. BOO! So nice to meet everyone finally. Although there were some moms I didn’t even get to talk to. I think the downside is that since there’s so many kids and so many of us it’s hard to get to know each other or even just have one really good conversation. Do you know what I mean?
Zoe. *sigh* She’s growing up so fast. She turned 8 months this past wednesday. So like I said, I have so much to write about.
:: She started crawling.
:: She’s also eating gerber puffs now. She can pick them up however she doesn’t know how to put it in her mouth. She’ll stick her head fwd with her mouth open like a baby bird so you can deposit her treat where it belongs. Lazy.
:: She also started eating yogurt yesterday and she LOVES it. Her eyes never left the spoon.
:: She can also sit up on her own now from lying to sitting position.
:: Just this past week, if you watch her and help her out a lil, she’ll try to stand while holding onto something.
:: Her stranger anxiety is at it’s all time worse. Even if I’m standing behind her she’ll look up and start crying so I have to bend down and huddle next to her so she can hug me in between playing with her toys. It’s cute but annoying at the same time.
:: She loves bath time. Whenever we take her out she starts to cry. Hahaha…
:: She’s also been waking up in the middle of the night so we’ve been co-sleeping with her the past week. I think she’s teething again even though she’s not drooling.
She’s also been sick. She’s had a really bad cough for almost 2 weeks now. I took her into the dr’s on thursday and he checked her lungs and everything and he said she was fine and that it was just a cold and that we have to just wait it out. *sigh* I hate that. The stupid waiting game. Everytime she coughs it hurts me. Ya know? So this past week we’ve also had some visitors. One visitor in particular that we’ve been waiting FOREVER to meet…Cousin Ellis!
They stayed over wed night till this morning. Here’s Ellis’ big sister, Josie playing with some finger puppets.
More photos to come…

Emmy and Tessa both have a nasal drip. So Emmy woke up a million times last night because she couldn’t breath normally. Ugh, i hate these winter sicknesses!!!! I hope Zoe gets better soon!!
I know what you mean about having so much to write about…but just no time to do it. And it is definitely hard to really talk to people when you have a little one around because you have to pay attention to our little bosses.
@so_droll80 - do you have the nose frida?! get it!
Oh…I’m sorta glad to hear that Zoe has stranger anxiety. When she started crying when I held her I thought she hated me!!! And no baby has ever rejected me like Zoe did…Oooh Zoe–you are so good at playing hard to get! I will win you over though
@hkcho - hahahaha i’d like to see you try!
our kids are the same age.
did you give her stonyfield farms yogurt or another brand? i want matthew to start on yogurt too!
i can’t believe how adorable she is. so cute!!
@PetiteMandoo - uh…does she take bribes yet?!
@petitekiu - I gave her the stonyfield farms yorgurt. she loves it. i think one pack is a lot so i divide it in half so she can eat the 2nd half the next morning.
@hkcho - in the form of gerber puffs if she’s sitting next to me, on me, or in front of me. hahaha clingy!
How many teeth does Zoe have now? Who, by the way looks so incredibly sweet in that first photo!
enjoy the clingy while you can, mama! Soon she’ll be like pssssh get away from me, woman!
aww…feel better zoe! it’s funny how you can usually bribe kids with food! i love the first pic of z all bundled up in white – so cute and wintery.
Wow, 8 month already…Shes getting prettier and prettier…..I saw your celebrity pic…girl, you need to post that….Zoey is so cute…and she is one lucky star….Yup, its that time…I think she gets those cough from going to childcare……its very common among kids who go………I don’t want Zoey to grow up but then again, i’m eager and excited to see more milestones from her……………..As for being sick…your a pro now, hang in there……..I think its harder for you working moms not only you have to go out and making money but as exhaused as you are…..more work at home……….thats why you are so skinny, doing so much!…………As for being sick…Gracie hasn’t gotten any of our cold..me and Sammie……i have it really bad but thank goodness, no fever………….all i can say is…..SANTIZE SANTIZE………….my hands are so rough from applying all that crap….but i can’t afford Gracie or Sammie to get sick………I hope everything goes well….
