Four months old... My how time flies

I cannot believe it has been four months since you were born! You have grown so much over the last four months and it has been such a joy to watch you grow into your own neat little person!

You love baths and if we wait past 8:30 to give you a bath you get so cranky. As soon as you see the bubbles in the bath your face lights up and when you get in the water you grin so big!

You are very fascinated with the dogs (the feeling is mutual). They will sit on either side of your swing in the living room and if one of them come within your reach you try to touch them.

You can make it about halfway through church before you are ready to get up and move around or eat. I haven't heard many sermons since the spring.

You are a little cuddle bug when you are sleepy and you love to rock :)

You love music (it doesn't matter what kind) and when I sing and dance you laugh at me! I love your laugh and will pretty much do anything to hear it!

I have been back at work for two months now and it is so hard to be away from you all day (most days I cry on my way to work) but it helps knowing you are with family. My desk at work is COVERED in Zoey pictures :)

Thankfully you do t have to go to daycare. Memaw DeLoach keeps you on Mondays, Mammie keeps you on Tuesday's, aunt Kara keeps you on Wednesday's and Thursday's and granny Cooke keeps you on Fridays. I call whoever has you on every break I get so I can see how your day is going. Your Mammie even brought you up to my work a couple of times on my lunch break so you and I could cuddle :)

We took you for your four month checkup today and you have doubled in size since you were born!! You are up to 14 pounds 14oz! Dr. Jackson says you are perfect (your daddy and I already knew that)! You had to get two shots and that always breaks my heart. I hate seeing you cry like that! You slept a lot today after the shots but every time you were awake you were in a pretty good mood. Your dad and I took the day off from work so that we could spend the day with you.

You have had your first cold this week and it just breaks my heart to see you sick :( You have been coughing & sneezing a lot and have had a stuffy nose.

You aren't sleeping as well as you use to. For a while you were only waking up once a night to eat and now it's every 2 to 3 hours. We moved you into your room last week and I miss having you right next to my bed :( I have the video monitor setup on my night stand and I look at you all night.

It's almost midnight and I have to be up in 7 hours to get ready for work (and a few times between now and then to feed and love on you).

I love you sweet bug!
