The Magic Poop

Zoey has been an awesome baby. She's very mellow, let's us know what she wants, and is quick to settle after we give it to her.

The only issue we've been having is that during her feedings in the early morning (1am until about 9 or 10 am), she's been very fussy. She wouldn't sleep much after feeding, and feeding itself took a bit of coaxing. The pediatrician said it is quite normal for babies to have some adjustment early on as Mom's milk comes in. We're finding a routine for her that works, but being the chill baby that she is, Zoey helped herself (and us) this morning by taking her first poop in about a day and a half. Oh boy did that help her sleeping! Her feedings have been a lot smoother as well.

For a five day old baby Zoey has made a fast adjustment to this living thing. She's lifting and holding her head up, has distinctive cries that we recognize (more or less, depending on how much sleep we've had), and has charmed every nurse she's met. She loves being held, has become content to sleep just about anywhere, and doesn't let noises bother her in the least. A very chill baby.

Below is a video taken just a few minutes ago of Zoey enjoying her first ride on her swing-a-ma-jig. Happy baby? Yup.



And since the first Hiccup video was such a hit, here's a sequel. Zoey is definitely one cute hiccup-er.
