It's been a busy few weeks since I posted last. Zoe had her 8 month appointment at her pediatrician's. She is 28 inches tall and weighs 18 lbs 10 oz. She is in the 85% for height and 65% for weight. She's a healthy happy tall girl! About a week after her 8 month visit she developed a sudden high fever. Another trip to the pediatrician told us it was a virus and that there was a good chance she'd develop a rash as soon as the fever went away. Sure enough, after enduring 3-5 days of 103 degree fever, little spots showed up on her face, chest and back. She had a case of Roseola but now that the rash has gone, she's back to her happy self.
During her fever, we tried to distract her and make her as happy and comfortable as possible. I put some water in the tray of her high chair and let her splash around.
She also enjoys being outside. She loves watching Bella play fetch or watching the birds fly into the trees.
About 3 weeks ago during our photo session, sitting up seemed to finally click for Zoe. Since then she's perfecting sitting up and has even mastered reaching for something while sitting up. Now she's working on crawling. She can stick her bottom up on the air and push herself around with her legs but the arm coordination with the legs hasn't happened yet. She can stop rolling over in her sleep and waking up startled anytime!
And your last video is one I took Saturday morning when I went into the nursery to start our day. She's such a happy ray of sunshine! This video is a dark since it was still early outside.
