Formula Recall

Nutrition product-maker Ross Products Division is voluntarily recalling 300,000 bottles of three types of Similac infant formula due to a bottle defect. They are recalling the ready-to-feed infant formula's because they do not contain as much vitamin C as indicated on the label.

What to look for:

• Similac Alimentum Advance liquid formula. Expiration date: May 1, 2007. Printed on the back of the bottle is the following stock code, 57512; and lot number, 401895V.
  
• Similac Advance with iron liquid. Expiration date: Nov. 1, 2007, stock code: 55961; and lot numbers: 40177RH and 40172RH.
  
• Similac Advance Hospital Discharge Kits. Stock code, 58986; and lot number, 41699DS.
  Abbott discovered the problem through customer complaints for an unusually dark formula color, which the company said is due to a defect by a third-party bottle manufacturer. A chemical layer inside the bottle that protects oxygen from breaking down vitamin C was missing, which the bottle-manufacturer has corrected, Abbott spokeswoman Tracey Noe said.

Abbott said it will replace for free the products from the affected lots. Customers with questions can call, 800-624-3412.

New Daycare Pics for August

Zoe just grabed the piece of bread and chomped away.
Just hangin' in the exercauser.
Going for a buggy ride!

Zoë's so cute

Zoë on the boat at Dale Hollow. She loved it! We had a great trip and lots of fun. The cabin we stayed in was amazing.

Look at her playing model with my sunglasses. She now poses for the camera.

Checkup

Zoë had her checkup today. Matt took her this morning. She got her 6 month shots.

She is 16 lbs. 2 oz. She is 55% in weight and 75% in height. She is now allowed to eat #2 baby food and if she can pickup and put in her mouth cheerios, she can eat them!

We are headed to Dale Hollow for the holiday weekend. We hope all of you out there have a fun one. It will be Zoë's first time on the boat.

Mama!

Zoë said MaMa today. More like mamamamamamamama, but she did. Not just once, twice, but like 12 times. I made me so happy! Matt said, she might say mama first, but she still looks like me.

Zoe's hammin' it up at Daycare!

Look at this little crazy haired girl. Just hammin' it up for the camera!

Zoe's so happy!

Betty at my work got this stuffed animal dog. Zoe just loves it! Anything soft that she can play and cuddle with.
She actually played with it first and then fell asleep. =)
If you can't read this shirt, it says...."Daddy does my hair." Sarah at daycare put Zoe's hair up in a pigtail on the top of her head and I had to get a picture with Matt. Ohhhh so cute!

Stranger Danger.

Watch out! Zoë has all of a sudden developed not only a strange anxiety, but also a mommy complex. She is all about mommy and only the day care providers that she knows...like Sarah and the other teachers in the bunny room. So, if you see her soon, just watch out. She even cries at Matt.....and we don't know why.

She is also working on her sitting skills. She is doing very well with small assistance. Soon enough she will be doing it all on her own.

6 Months old!

Zoë is over 6 months old now. It is so hard to believe she is growing up so fast. She can now roll from front to back and back to front. She is so happy most of the time. She is still drooling and we are awaiting that first tooth. She is such a precious baby!

Maine Vacation 2006

Matt climbed Mt. Blue. It was a really rough incline, but he did it.

Look at the funny face she made. She knew something exciting was going to happen.
