7 Weeks Old

7 weeks old today! Kent, Zoe, and I had a blast ringing in seven weeks old! We tried shopping again. We went to Lowes, Home Depot, Babies R Us, and even Bed Bath and Beyond. It was a busy afternoon. Zoe did a great job at each store in her stroller. To be fair, she didn't go into Bed Bath and Beyond, I had to run in really quickly to return some extra pillow cases that we got before Zoe was born... I'm a little slow on the returns! After shopping we returned home.

Kent and I were feeling brave after such a great day with Zoe out on the town so we decided to try dinner out! We went to the Draft House here in DeWitt and had a blast! Zoe was a little fussy as we arrived, but she quickly fell asleep and Kent and I had a great dinner out. It was our first family dinner out! It is fun to be able to take Zoe out with us and still feel like we are doing our normal pre-baby activities. I'm not sure that going out to dinner will be as frequent as it was before Zoe, but at least we know we can get out and enjoy with the three of us!

Just because everything had gone so well, we tried one more adventure. We went for a walk at a local park. We went for two miles and Zoe did great. After a mile and a half she was over it, but we made it back to the car without too much fuss. We even stopped for ice cream on the home! What a day!

Zoe is now talking more... okay more like cooing and grunting, but it's a lot more frequent this week. She loves her play mat and spending time looking at books. She also loves her swing. Below are her 7 week old pictures. I can't believe next Sunday she'll be 8 weeks old! We have the two month check up on June 15. I can't wait to see how big she is. We found out at the Greenhouse Birth Center for our 6 week check up this week that Zoe is 11.5 lbs! She is getting so big!
