Six, Seven, Eight

The reality of two kids...or poor time management?!?  I know, I know, I'm playing catch up here.

Zoe!!  You are so precious and I can't even explain how much I love you!!  Tonight as I rocked you to sleep I thanked God that he gave you to us.  You bring out the joy in everyone with your infectious smile and giggles.  I had tears in my eyes as your hands clenched your pink blanket that you love...the very first thing I bought you as soon as I found out I was having a girl.  You have my heart forever.  I love you Zoe!!  Happy 6, 7 and 8 months!

You sit up, roll all over the place, eat solids from grandma's garden, love when I sing the fishy song, talk the cutest jibber jabber and smile and giggle a lot!  Just after 6 months you got a helmet to help fix a flat spot on your head.  I had no doubt that you would make that helmet look so stinkin cute.

Photo shoot

Dave always has the best/funniest photo shoots of the kidlets.  I have laughed at this picture numerous times.

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!
