Toys on toys

Caleb continues to make sure Zoe has toys to play with.  What a great big brother!!  She could maybe use a few more. (wink wink)

Sweet Zs

This girl is always beautiful but wow she sure is a photogenic sleeper.  So pretty!

Cruisin'

Hey Zoebugs lezgo for a ride!

Caleb said he was taking Zoe to the grocery store to get some groceries.  His vocabulary continues to impress me...along with his driving skills.

Shout out to Caleb

I just want to give a shout out to Caleb.  He's endured a lot of change...getting his crib stolen, potty trained, gaining a sister, moving to a townhome, switching daycares, no longer center of attention and now a girl who plays with his toys.  Yes there have been some rough days because of the change and because he's a toddler but he's been pretty amazing through it all when you consider the capacity of change.  Thank you Caleb for being patient with mommy, daddy and your sister (most of the time) through all of this.  You are amazing and thank you for all the laughter you bring to our family!!

5 months

Ok 5 months was almost a month ago. Lol!!  Sorry Zoe, the reality is I don't blog as much because I'm spending precious time with you and your brother.

You are getting really close to sitting up and you roll all over the place.  You take interest in grabbing anything in front of you...blankets, toys, hair, my face, lightening McQueen cell phone (which Caleb has made clear that it's his...but he's graciously let you play with it a few times since he's likely realized that he hasn't played with it in a year...but regardless, it's all of a sudden cool again because you want to play with it).  My mom said my brother liked me until I started playing with his toys...I'm sensing a pattern here.  

I know you are going to be a tough little girl because just today your brother either pushed, pulled or rolled you off the couch.  We didn't see it but we definitely heard your cry.  After I picked you up it wasn't long before you were smiling and giggling.  You seriously giggle so much!  It's one of my favorite things about you!  

Happy 5 months my little sweetie pie!!  I love you TONS!

 

4 months

Movin on up!  Zoe continues to grow big and strong.  She's at the 85th percentile for height, 57th for weight and 42nd for head circumference.  As of right now, her height comes from her dad.  This time around at her appointment I did not cry when Zoe got shots...which is a miracle. She actually did really well and of course she cried but as soon as we scooped her up she was just fine.  Just a champ.

Zoe is mastering tummy time.  She loves standing in the jumper and grabbing the rattle blocks attached to it.  She grabs, grabs, grabs anything she can and immediately puts it to her mouth.  It's fun watching her discover.  She already loves her little blankie that is just like Caleb's...only hers is girly colors of course.  She's also a great sleeper which we are so grateful for.  She's quite the chatterbox too...she must get that from dad as well...wink wink.

Happy 4 months beautiful!! You are such a happy, smiley baby.  You truly bring so much joy into our lives.  Love you!

Big Airplanes

"Mom can we look for big airplanes?" is the question I get asked every day in the car ever since I took Caleb to watch airplanes land about a month ago.  I was missing spending time with him because I had been consumed with Zoe (which is a good thing) ever since she was born. That being said, I was missing "Caleb time" so I planned a date for the two of us and what better thing to do than go watch airplanes.  Caleb has always loved airplanes and this might have been the pinnacle of anything airplane related since he's been born.  We enjoyed watching them land, take off and taxi.  Caleb especially liked the Southwest Airlines and Sun Country Airlines airplanes because they were blue. Sorry Delta but you don't win the "cool" airplane award according to the toddler.  We had a blast and I'm excited for more mommy/son play dates.
