heehee! mommy's funny

duh-de............duh-de...........duh-de, duh-de, duh-de, duh-de

Like Jaws, Zooey sneaks up to her prey....

 mommy is ironing....Z should be napping

 

What are you feeding me?

Zooey has been enjoying solids for several weeks now, 

eating rice cereal with some fruit or vegetable, mostly in the form of purees but occasionally in larger/messier form.  So far she's had 

bananas, apples, oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, carrots, butternut squash,

avocado, and a little bit of pancake :)

Tonight's menu was roasted chicken and roasted carrots, 

and she seemed to enjoy both - we may be on our way to raising a foodie! 

^__^

So close, and yet so far...

Zooey is still trying desperately to crawl these days, but still

manages to only scoot backwards.

"Three of these Z's belong together.."

"Three of these Z's belong together,

Three of these Z's are kinda the same,

But one of these Z's just doesn't belong here,

And now it's time to play our game,

It's time to play our game!"

"Can you guess which Z just doesn't belong,

Dee-de, dee-de, dee-de-de-dee-de,

By the time I finish my song,

I'm gonna finish my song!"**

Being Cute is Hard Work!!

More bedhead shots!!

How var you Dahlink!? (looking cool in Mommy's shades)

It still takes precious effort to get her to sleep like this!--but when she finally does, she still melts our hearts!

Zooey is Seven months old!

If you look carefully, you can see her teeth!

Smarty Poo has some new tricks!

Zooey learns a new trick:

(she's actually been doing this for a couple of weeks)

She's just being her sweet self in this one.

Smarty Poo!

Future book worm (we hope)

Zooey movies

Zooey discovers a new friend!

Z got a new learning toy. As you can see, she can support herself standing now

Grandpa's birthday!

Last week we visited NorCal for Chuck's father's birthday

 Zooey meets cousin Elliot (finally)!

 We had a hwedupbap feast!

Happy Birthday!

Zooey moving backwards and being cute

Just because...

...she's so cute

Zooey was peeking out while Jennie was carrying her at the airport

Uh oh!  better lower the mattress platform before she's able to climb over! (not to worry, she can't stand up yet--she needed help to get to this position)

Playtime!

Zooey has been trying to stand more and more these days - 

from the laying-down position, she will pull up to standing, 

with my help of course! 

 Playing the toy from her great-aunt in Korea

Unfortunately, she's not always a bundle of laughs:

 Poor girl..mean mommy won't pick her up right away...

For sale: cute baby with chubby cheeks and chubbier thighs; comes with bumbo attached!

sleep-training

Zooey, happy and wide-awake, way past her bedtime (and mine).

We started sleep-training Zooey this week and it is sooooo hard!!!! 

I hope we survive... :(

The first night she cried for 1.5 hrs; second, third, and fourth nights for 1 hour.  Tonight, 35 minutes....hopefully, this downward trend will continue and we'll have a happy and well-rested baby on our hands soon!

ummmm.....what is wrong with this picture?

Daddy, who has been known to wear his own shirts inside-out

on occasion, dressed Zooey for bed and apparently had no problems

doing the snaps in reverse... :D

"made for Zooey with love"

Zooey has been spending much of her time playing on this

beautiful quilt that was specially made for her 

by my friend Karen

 

(

Thank you so much, Karen

for such a lovely gift!

"Brush-a, brush-a, brush-a"**

 Now that she's eating solids, Zooey has

started brushing her teeth
