Baby's First Visa

Yesterday we went to the Embassy and had our interview to apply for Zoe's visa to come to the states. We passed! It was very easy and we were relieved to have that part of our stay completed.

There are a lot of little things that I keep trying to get myself to remember to tell everyone about Zoe, but they fly out of my head as soon as they happen.

First, she's LOUD! She talks and talks and when she cries she SCREAMS! There is no in-between crying for this girl.

She's a great sleeper. The first night she woke up once, second night she slept through, third night woke up SCREAMING once.

She HATES having a poopy diaper and will scream and scream until it's changed. She also hates having her diaper changed at all, so the screaming really continues until the whole ordeal is over with.

She communicates a lot on an individual basis. If she sees someone she likes, especially Brian, she will hold up her hand for a high five! She also waves and clucks with her tongue a lot. She has been known to imitate sneezes! Much like Evan was when he was little, she's a GOOD imitator of sneezes!

She has a new sound, or new to us. You know that rattly cry that newborns make that makes their chins quiver? She does that, except she does it sometimes when she's happy and sometimes when she's about to lose it.

She sucks her thumb when she sleeps.

She is WILD.

She LOVES Evan. And Evan is starting to really like her a lot now that our jetlag is wearing off. He likes entertaining her. He can get her to laugh the hardest.

She is FAT! We call her thunder thighs! We brought three pairs of jeans for her, 9 month, and two 12 months, and there was NO WAY those puppies were going on! Not even close! For any kind people who wish to purchase cute pants for her, think 18-24, seriously! She's approaching 12-18 for shirts.

She should really be taking her nap right now... hey! Stop making clucking noises over there and go to sleep!

Love, all of us
