• Changes

  Zoe’s been going through something really funky. She’s been eating alot and growing alot. Well I don’t know about her height but her feet grew in a span of a month. 
  
  Appetite: She’s a piggy and I love it. When we went to Sesame Place there were a lot of kids like Zoe’s age that were obese. Like O B E S E! I couldn’t believe it. I mean I want Zoe to be a chunky monkey but not like that. So everyone always asks me after I post up photos of the stuff I feed Zoe if she eats it all. And the answer is no. Sometimes she takes a bite and turns her head away and says “No. Down.” and then points to the floor to tell me she wants to get down from her highchair and that she’s done eating. Lately she’s been finishing most of her meals which makes me super happy.

  I tried to ween her off her bottles (the converted Thinkbaby ones I wrote about before). I just started putting her milk in her sippy cup or her juice cup. She would take a few sips and NEVER finish. She was also still drinking her milk warm. So I put her back on the bottle but I no longer warmed them up for her. Now she’s drinking 6-8oz before she sleeps at night and then sometimes in the middle of the night she wakes up hungry so I’ll make sure before I go to bed that I leave an 8oz bottle on top of our headboard. By the morning it is gone. Sometimes she wakes up on her own, grabs it, drinks it, and then goes back to bed without me knowing. I love that. I’m not too worried that she’s still on the bottle just as long as she’s getting her milk. I’ll deal with that later on down the line. Her doctor told me she should be getting about 15-18oz a day still so I think we’re good. She’s still at 21lbs but she is getting that potbelly after each meal so I’ feel a little better knowing that she is full after each meal.
  
  Feet: So when I bought her the pink crocs they were a size 4 and big for her. I measured her feet last week and 4.5″! That’s how they do it right? A size 4 means it’s 4 inches right? I don’t know these things cause we hardly buy her shoes since she has a lot of hand me downs but we have no size 5 hand me downs. How do you figure out the size? I know some places do it by months. Like Old Navy does 12-18m. But when it comes to the single digits I have no idea.
  
  I also gots me a new toy. I got the Canon 50mm f1.4 lens. I like it. I don’t love it YET but I’m sure I’ll get there once we get to know each other better. It’s just weird. I’ve always used the lens that came with the camera and that’s been 2 years now. I feel like I’m cheating on my other lens or something.
  
  Here are some practice shots.

  :: 08.12.09 :: This morning I was folding the laundry while Zoe was walking around with my navy striped tank top on her head and she walks over to me and tilts her head to the side and just looks at my face. I can feel that she has a bit of a staring problem but since I’m folding I’m not even looking up. She then walks over to me and kisses me on the cheek and then runs off to to check out her reflection.
  
  She’s may not be  in my fan club anymore but I know she still loves me.
