Zoey had a great night. She got her cry on around 10pm, worked it all out by 11, and slept soundly through the night except for the couple of times we woke her to feed her. What a great kid! It probably helped that we wore her out yesterday with her first round trip car ride. We're still moving the last of our junk (i.e my clothes; hence the same red t-shirt in all the pictures I'm in!), so we went up to Montclair yesterday morning, spent a few hours cleaning out stuff, and Zoey was just awesome. She loves the car like most babies, and slept through most of the time we were in the apartment.
Last night we set up a play mat with all sorts of ocean related stuff, and Z loved it. This morning, it was a vibrating bouncer, and she loved that, as well. Heck, this kid loves the sponge baths we've given her. She is enjoying each new experience we throw at her.
One thing Zoey is enjoying that daddy isn't so much is her new found use of her hands. Now don't get me wrong, I still have every intention of her stepping on the mound of Yankee Stadium some day, so her discovery of her hands is a pleasant step in that direction, but she seems to have settled on grasping and pulling daddy's chest hair as the best use for said hands. Ouch! I may have to wear t-shirts until she finds a better use for those little grasping fingers.
Anyway, Zoey and El and I are all doing great. We seem to finding a bit of a routine, even if it's leaving us pretty exhausted. We've manged to go out once a day to run some errands or pick up food, and that's been a great mental relief for us and for Zoey. Enjoy the video we took this morning of Z in her bouncer, and the slew of pictures below, including Zoey in her crib.
