Look what Daddy caught!
We had Zoey's second visit to the doctor today for a weight in. She's put on 6 1/2 ounces since last Wednesday, and the docs are very happy. Basically this means she and El are making a fantastic adjustment to breast-feeding. Happy baby, happy mommy, very happy daddy.
We've also discovered that Zoey has a Jekyll & Hyde personality. She loves to be held, by everyone, all the time. But on the days she is held by lots of people for long lengths, she refuses to sleep unless it's on my chest or El's chest. Zoey's happy. Mom and Dad are zombie's (sans the brain eating - we're polite zombies).
So yesterday we held her when she needed comforting, but otherwise had her sleeping in her 1,567,982,345 different beds. Result? She slept in her bassinet for a good chunk of the night, and El and I got a few decent chunks of sleep, too.
Zoey's also an active sleeper. She likes to move, shake, rattle and punch while sleeping. She also mewls and coos a good bit. This is all perfectly normal, but El and I are big softies, so we're lucky if we can make it 3 minutes before one of picks her up to hold her. If you look closely in the pictures you can see Zoey's little pinkie - that's the finger I'm wrapped around. Sigh. I may as well just put the keys to the car in her crib now; saying no to this girl is going to be a tough task for Dad to pull off.
Enjoy the photos from today, and buy some stock in Duracell - at the rate we're taking pictures we're going to go through an 8 pack of batteries a week!
