Zoe at 5 weeks

 This week Zoe has started to develop better motor control.  Her eyes follow us wherever we go (mostly they follow Mama) and she can reach out and grab things with her shockingly strong fingers.
She cries much less than she used to and we're having lots of 'play' time with her between feedings.

So far she loves spending time in the various chairs and swings, and she loves laying on her back while Daddy plays with her legs and feet.

We're also trying to get her to sleep in her crib better.  

Sometimes she lets us swaddle her for more than a few ear-splitting minutes.

And sometimes she just crashes out.  

I love this last pic -- this is her on a boppy pillow (U-shaped) with my hand supporting her head from falling into the middle.  

I love how each of her limbs is doing something different...and she slept like this for over 15 minutes until her parents woke her up with their laughter.

She's practicing for college.
