Yikes, August already. It seems like the summer flew by and I was shocked to see on the calendar that Zoe was 40 weeks old on Saturday. How the year has flown by.
We have just returned from a check up at the doctor's office and had an opportunity to meet with Zoe's new pediatrician.
Zoe has gained some weight, 12lb and 11.5 oz. The doctor said that though this is much lower than he would like, she seems to be following the pattern of growth that full term children usually have, a plateau or slower rate between months 4-6. In addition, looking at her and her development, she also seems great.
In light of this great news and review of Zoe's history of spitting and lack of appetite, we again are making some changes and trying new things. We hope that in a couple of weeks when we go back for another check up, we can see either an improvement in keeping food down or a jump in her weight.
Most encouraging remark from the pediatrician that reminded us of God's power, "If you knew nothing of Zoe's prematurity and medical history, you would never guess by the way she behaves, looks, and moves." God is good.

Dear little Zoe - what great news on the health front. I bet you are thinking, "Slow and steady wins the race" and you will gain that weight a little at a time. Now to just work on the spitting up issue - sure makes a mess for your Mom & Dad, or are you trying to keep them on their toes? Tell Mom if she needs anymore of the spit cloths, I have a supply of cute little girl ones tucked away in the closet. The are hers if she needs them. You keep working on the growing and strength and we will keep praying for your continued success. God Bless.
I know weight gain can be a challenge. My granddaughter now is 16 months old and weighs just under 20 pounds. She is a tiny little thing, but in all other respects she is just fine. We encourage her to eat whatever she wants but we're finally OK with knowing that she is just a little person.
I hope Zoe's spitting up issue gets resolved soon. BTW, she is adorable!
Hi! I started following Zoe's progress when a friend of mine asked for prayers for her. I'm so happy to see she's doing so well!
I see the toy in the corner of this picture and was wondering if you recall where you got it? My daughter played with one and loved it but I don't know where to find one. Thanks!
Hartwigs-
This is her Oball, I believe my brother in law picked it up at Babies R Us. She loves it esp. since it is easy to pick up and not very heavy.
Awesome--Thank you!
