New year, new blog

I keep telling myself that I will/need to blog more. Here's yet another attempt at it. I really want to keep a blog/diary about the happenings with our second baby girl. So much is going on that I feel overwhelmed to update. So I'm just going to start with some recent milestones of Zoe's and a few things about Miley.

Zoe
On January 3, she had her 4 month well baby visit. Here is the list of Chunk's stats:
Weight: 15 lbs 2 oz At birth: 8 lbs 6 oz
Height: 25 1/4 inches At birth: 20 1/2 inches
Head: 16 1/4 inches At birth: ???

She is a growing girl, her weight and height are in the 90th percentile and her head is the 50th. Miley was the opposite with head in the 90th and weight and height in the 50th. Zoe is a great eater while Miley was always our good sleeper. Zoe wakes up almost every night around 3 am and refuses to sleep anywhere except cuddled up next to me. Miley had been sleeping in her bed again but the last week or so is back to sneaking out to the couch.

Milestones:
Last week she found her feet and she LOVES to chew, hold, and/or play with them.
She is sucking her right thumb just like Miley and is beginning to twirl my hair (just like Miley). They are so similar as babies. I look at Zoe and she is just like Miley. They are both independent and very vocal. At this age they love to cuddle Mommy and watch me eat and talk. We started Zoe on rice cereal last week on the 3rd and she is doing great. She tries really hard to take the spoon from me and feed herself. She is chewing and drooling like crazy but no teeth yet. She can roll over from her belly to her back but not quite the other way around yet. She lifts herself up while on her belly and puts all her weight on her legs.

Miley
She is doing very well in school. She has mastered her colors and beats us all the time at Candyland (she doesn't even cheat). She loves her Disney Princess movies i.e., The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. She is kind of playing with her toys from Christmas but also likes to play with random things like the vacuum and my large hardback books. She is more interested in playing with Zoe now that she is a little older and wants to help feed her cereal. She is a great big sister and I really look forward to them playing together.
