1st Halloween

Zoe's 1st Halloween was so much fun! Our neighbors Darren & Keyma brought their 10 month old son Drake and our friends Nikki & James brought their 7 month old Liam over. We all dressed up our babies and took tons of pictures and video taped them. Zoe didn't know what to do with 2 Monkeys! She laughed and talked the whole time. She loves being the center of attention! (She definetly gets that from her daddy). We then loaded everybody up and went to Jay and Rachel's and went trick or treating with them and their kids and Mark and Idaliz and their son. Zoe got her parents lots of candy!!!!

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!

4 Generations & Zoe Pics

My Grandmother, my Mom, Zoe and I went Saturday and got our pictures taken. Zoe had a bottle and a nap right before we got to Portrait Innovations and she was the happiest baby getting her pictures taken. Carter's baby clothing store just happen to be next door so I conned my grandmother & mom into going shopping for Zoe's "Winter Wardrobe." They were having really good sales, what can I say.

1ST FAMILY VACATION

Thank God for vacations! After having a baby and starting our own business, we were more than ready for a vacation. We went to Panama City Beach and stayed in my boss's ridiculous condo. It was really nice to be able to just relax and spend nothing but family time. It was Zoe's 1st trip to the beach, and she was interested in everything. We took her swimming and to the beach every morning and evening, because my overprotected husband didn't want Zoe to get burned (even though she had 50 proof on and under an umbrella.) We did a little to much shopping and junk food eating, but I guess that's what vacations are for. I can't wait for our next trip to the beach!
