Growing Zavi






Well, Zavi is definitely filling out and packing on the pounds.

She now weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at 5 weeks. She is super cute and we're enjoying her immensely. She looks like a combination of us but as you all know, she will change a lot.

love to all.

Yay, videos of Zavi

We finally figured out how to upload videos to this blog. Here is a video of Zavi stretching. Enjoy

Welcome to my Blog







Well,

Many of you have asked us to start a blog about Zahava. This blog replaces the "pooper zakem in the oven blog," although Zavi does poop a lot! We're sorry we haven't been able to set up a blog yet; life has been rather hectic since Zahave Haya Frances Zakem entered into the world a month early on September 24th. Tomorrow is her "4 week" birthday. She is an adorable baby; however, a bit fussy and loves to keep her parents up at night (and grand parents too when they have visited, to the point that it has taken GP Zakems a full week to fully recover :) We seem to have day and night confused.. oy. we hope this gets resolved sooner rather than later! We just got a vibrator for the crib, and are praying that it works..

Zavi can't get enough of food. Since her growth was somewhat stopped inside the womb, I think she is trying to make up for it. She was born, weighing 5 pounds, 4 ounces. When we brought her home, she was only 4 pounds, 12 ounces. Now, she is 6 pounds, 4 ounces.. hopefully she'll catch up soon with the weight.

Anyways, attached are some initial pics. More pics are on facebook. We'll be posting videos shortly.
