Today I am 4 months old

Today was Zoë's 4 month birthday. She is also still on oxygen, we return on July 16 for the next evaluation with the pulmonologt. She still struggles through the feedings, we think she may have reflux. In the middle of her feedings, she sometimes throws herself back, grunts and sometimes starts to cry. She is a feisty little girl. She gets mad when she doesn't like something. We already told her pediatrician, so when we go to her next appointment, we will talk about it more and see what is really going on. Besides this, she is a really good baby. She cries when she is really hungry, usually she just coos and whines when it is time to eat. She is a whiner when she is hungry.

She is getting really big. We had to adjust her car seat. She is also starting to out growing some of her newborn clothes and the newborn diapers. She is in the body of a 6 week old baby but the mind of a 4 month old. She was 8 lbs at the end of May. We also had to move her out of the basinet she was sleeping in because she moves around so much. We put her one way and she turns her body in the opposite direction. The last straw was when she got her little leg stuck between the bars of the bassinet. She screamed when she couldn't get it out. The poor baby was so upset, that when we left to work, she looked sad from the trauma. After this Tia Lissa set up her Pack N Play playpen, so she is now sleeping in that and now has a lot more room to move in. I cant believe how much she moves. She still hasn't turned over on her tummy but it is only a matter of time.

Her room is almost done. Tia Ashley has been putting the finishing touches to the walls. She is painting the flowers by hand. One more session and she will be done. After this week her room will be completely finished. Thanks Tia Ashley!!

Zoë is also starting to react to us. She follows us when we move around the room and reacts when we talk to her. I think I saw a dimple on her cheek, but wasnt 100% for sure. Need to see the next time she smiles. She dreams when she sleeps because we will see her smile and then frown then smile again.

Zoë is doing really good and so are we :) It is really good to have her home.
