Well, I hope you're sitting down.
Zoe is 5 months old today...
 |
| Happy 5 months! |
...but that's just ONE of MANY milestones to celebrate this week.
This week Zoe tried her first solid food.
She's been watching us eat and drink with growing interest, so we bought her
some rice cereal and let her see what she's been missing.
 |
| Daddy...what's in the bowl? |
 |
| First bite... |
 |
| ...and a smile! |
 |
| Hey, this stuff's pretty good! |
Pretty soon Zoe was helping us feed her
...and it wasn't long before we were completely irrelevant in the process.
Eating with your feet?
 |
| Now you're just showing off. |
And today she tried carrots for the first time.
Zoe also loves looking around on our walks and seeing all the sights.
She also decided the Lakers are so terrible she'll try out for the team.
 |
| She already plays more defense than the entire bench |
 |
| See how she has possession of the ball? Already fewer turn-overs than the Lakers. |
She then thought about following Grandma's prediction and become a gymnast.
But mostly she just loves practicing her smiles.
Zoe's friend, Anna, came over for a visit.
She's 4 days older than Zoe so she had a lot more life experience to share.
Which brings us to our last, big milestone.
Lori had been noticing that Zoe was side-sleeping quite a bit.
Zoe has been has been less and less happy to lay on her back
She's always eager to move around on her tummy, even trying to crawl.
We've been encouraging her each step of the way, and tonight...
This happened:
She did it about 5 times and decided it was time to eat.
She earned it.

| Zoe says thanks for stopping by! |
NO, thank you!

ReplyDeleteWow ! How can Zoe be 5 months old already. She is changing so much and such a happy girl. The first set of pictures of her eating her first foods are so cute. She looks like she will be ready for a kids' meal from NASB soon. Love the little sneakers in the Lakers outfit. She's all decked out for sure. And those thunder thighs just like her Mommy had and already able to do all those stretches. The video, once again, is priceless :) Thanks for such a great post - her cousins enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeleteGreat entry Grammie!
DeleteWhat wonderful things to celebrate in her life! I quite miss my little Zo-Zo :) Love how well she is "playing" for the Lakers already and getting ready for lots of future foodie endeavors with her Aunt Meme!
