Oh the funny things you do

The sassiness.   We must be related or something.  From the words of Honey Boo Boo you are officially sassified!

                                                                             The faces you make.

   When you want you want to stay up late, well you stay up late... and we do too.

You're creative way of telling mommy you hate headbands.

       

  And the never-ending coolness you have.  You don't even have to try.

Breaking Amish

Yeah that show that just came out on TLC.  It just so happened that my favorite channel is TLC so I've seen it from when it first aired up until the most recent episode.

At first I was surprised of the kind of lifestyle they have.  I've never known anything about Amish until Scott told me about it.  Believe it or not I was actually excited when the second episode came out.  I was excited for them to discover things they never had or never even knew existed.  Then a few episodes later I was getting annoyed at their behavior and was beginning to realize that they are just a bunch of selfish people.  I don't want to judge them since I don't know what it's like to be in their shoes but whatever.  Since Scott told me that this show is staged I'll just go ahead and judge them.  They like to rationalize and they don't really see the beauty outside their world.  What they should have taken advantage of is gaining an education since that's something that they were deprived of.  In their own Amish community, they have religion, family, shelter, food and jobs so in all honesty they have better lives than most kids out there.  I hope they realize that being "English" doesn't mean you can drink, get a tattoo, be immodest and go to strip clubs.  So I'm done watching this show.

But I do like "Honey Boo Boo".

Zoey has discovered her toes

I can't believe it's been more than 4 months since I gave birth to Zoey.  Although days go by fast I still can't wait until my little Zoey bear is no longer so little.  I watch her discover new things each day and it fascinates me how babies grow and learn on their own.  I can't help but wonder what she's going to be like  a year or two from now.  I see myself in her quite a lot - the way she yawns, the way she stretches her arms out after a good nap but mostly because of how impatient she is.  I also find myself staring at her amazed at the similarity of her features to Scott Wei.  She is perfect.  They both are.

Raising a baby is not always easy and I'm sure all mothers would agree.  Feeding her gets me frustrated some times especially now that we started on solids.  It takes a lot of patience and bibs.  So far she's only had rice cereal and carrots.  Next week I plan on giving her apples and bananas.  She's still a little indifferent towards solids but she seems interested since it's something new to her.  She likes putting her fingers in her mouth when she eats and then tries to shove her hand in my mouth afterwards.  Carrots does not taste bad after all.

She came out with a lot of hair and then it stopped growing.  She's been shedding a lot and now she's a bald baby.  One time we went to the chiro and one of the patients referred to her as a "HE".  I was like really?  With all the pink she's wearing?!!  Good thing she has like a gazillion headbands.  Let me tell you it helps.

Well it's time for me to put her to sleep.  Night night world!

ZZZ

Mommy and Daddy like to sleep.  Zoey?  Not so much.  

Zoey at 11:40 PM.  Still wide awake, squirming and screaming with her high-pitched voice.  We love you Zoey bear!

All about Zoey

It's almost the end of the month so I decided to write a little bit about Zoey and things I've learned about her.  I feel more confident now taking care of her.  I know her better so I don't have to guess what is wrong every time she cries.   We're more fixed on her schedule too so I'm able to spare some time for myself.  She takes 2-3 short naps and 1 long nap (2-3 hrs) everyday.    She eats 7-8 times a day and I change her diaper 5-7 times.  She's the happiest in the morning right after she wakes up and after her bath (not during).  I made a list of the things she loves and things she does not particularly like.

Zoey loves ...
- diaper change
- chilling on her bouncer watching mommy cook dinner and fold clothes
- leg massage
- sucking her thumb (binky got fired)
- watching TV (usually CSI or Criminal Minds)
- being told that she's pretty
- tickles from daddy (she has a crush on her baba)
- the ceiling fan, vent and fridge (she smiles at them just like the way I smile at Scott)

Zoey hates ...
- tummy time
- dressing up
- headbands (daddy hates it too when I make Zoey wear them)

Zoey has a love/hate relationship with ...
- eating (we can never find the perfect bottle nipples for her.  I already tossed away 6)
- bath time (the longest she stays in her tub is 5 minutes)
- book reading (it could be the brown bear)
- shopping
- watching daddy play xbox

                                                                           Whatup?

3 months

Yep! Zoey turned 3 months.  She now weighs 10 lbs 12 oz and 22 in long.  Zantac didn't really work for her acid reflux so we decided to turn to the chiropractor for help.  Getting adjusted is now a family affair.  Our doctor treats Zoey for free since Scott and I see her already.  We love going to the chiro!  Zoey and I sleep better after a session and its something I really need since I carry Zoey the whole day. Here are some of the latest pics.

Zoey's Crib

Zoey slept in her crib for the first time.  I might have spoiled her a little bit but I like waking up next to her and Scott Wei.  Life couldn't be more perfect.
