Zoe Meets Santa

This past Friday our neighbors Darren, Keyma, and their son Drake joined us in taking Zoe to meet Santa at Stone Mountain Park. Of course, it was the coldest night of the year, but we still had a really good time and Zoe loved Santa as you can tell!

Thanksgiving 2008

This was the 2nd time we have had our family over for Thanksgiving since Steve and I have been together. It was nice for a change not having to rush around and go to two different houses. It was also really nice to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my grandmother for the first time! She has always lived in Upper Michigan, so I have not been able to spend too many holidays with her.

The Cutest Reindeer Of Them All

Yes, I know I need to post our Thanksgiving Pictures, but I couldn't wait to post these! I found some reindeer antlers and thought it would be great to torcher my child and have her picture made with them on. She actually didn't mind wearing them or having her picture made as you can tell. I did have some help from her "Aunt" or Cousin Jacque! I can't wait to see her opening her Christmas presents!

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!!!!

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!
