Our Little Pumpkin

Sitting Up!

I am trying to update everyone on what has been going on in the past few weeks because I am a slacker and don't update our blog often enough (right Nikki)! Anyways, Zoe has been sitting up all by herself now for about 3 weeks! She loves being able to see the world at a new angle. And she can entertain herself more when I put her toys around her to play with. Which is a huge help because she is going through the stage where she wants mommy to hold her or be in her eye sight all the time, which does not go well with my OCD of cleaning house.

I just can't believe how quick they grow up. You always hear other people saying that but you just don't get it until you have a child of your own. Pretty soon she is going to be crawling, then walking and talking. Where did my newborn go?

Ears Pierced!

Two Saturdays ago we took Zoe to Claire's Boutique to get her ears pierced! It went a lot better than I thought it would. I can not stand to see her hurt and I feel like the worse mom in the world when she does get hurt (like when she fell out of her swing). But I thought the few seconds of hurt would be worth the pain and it would be best to get them pierced while she was really young. And I was right (ha!) She was more mad that her daddy had to hold her head still so they could pierce her ear than she was in pain from the piercing. Less than a minute after they were pierced she quit crying and they have not bothered her since. And look at how beautiful she looks!

Daddy's Little Girl

I can't express the feeling I get in my heart when I see my little girl and her daddy together. My heart is so over joyed it usually brings tears to my eyes to see my "macho" man's heart melt when he see's his little girl smile at him. I am so blessed and thankful God gave us this little life to love, nurture and teach!
