Zoe in Petsmart

Zoe LOVES puppies. We took her to petsmart & she started going CRAZY! As soon as we turned on the camera she calmed down a lot, but you can see a bit of her dog-love. Turn up the volume so you can hear her say "OOOHH-puppies!"

Halloween 2011

Since we missed the ward Halloween party this year, I didn't bother to get Zoe a costume, but then I started feeling guilty this afternoon that she was missing out on the fun. I found this little baseball outfit in her closet & decided that a photoshoot and a few pieces of candy would have to do for Halloween this year :-)

Another version

I took another stab at editing the picture that I posted last night - I think it came out better this time. What do you think?

15 months (almost)

I really need to blog but I have no time.......

Zoe's 1! Hopefully I can get some more pictures of the festivities up here soon.

Zoe's new favorite food

Lately Zoe has been a picky eater. She used to eat anything we put in front of her, but the last few weeks she hasn't wanted to eat much of anything besides baby food, and even that was touch and go sometimes. We are getting pretty sick of her spitting her oatmeal back at us, so we keep trying new foods in hopes that she'll finally like something. Well, tonight we discovered that she likes fettucini with tomato cream sauce and italian turkey sausage. I guess it's really just glorified spaghetti :-) I made the pasta with tomato cream sauce recipe from the Pioneer Woman and just added some italian turkey sausage - delicious! After most bites Zoe was saying "YUM" and "MMMMM" and gobbled it all up. I even gave her seconds and she ate most of that. SUCCESS!

Check out those baby blues!

With a red goatee - just like daddy!

Look at those cute top teeth coming in!

Lately whenever she sees something new or exciting she makes this face and keeps saying "oooh" over and over again. It's hilarious - I'm glad that I finally got a picture of it.

Cheese!

New Pictures

She's really taking off now!

Another walking video

WALKING!!!

I have a few more videos, but blogger was taking FOREVER to get them up! I'll try again a little bit later.

8 Months

7 month picture

I realize that this is 6 weeks late, but I finally got around to editing her 7 month pictures. Hopefully I'll have more done soon :-)

Coming soon to a mailbox near you......

6 months!

old pictures, new page

I finally got around to making a scrapbook page for these pictures - I'm so behind! I'm trying to get some pages done in the next few days because I start a new part-time job teaching at an online school on Monday. Needless to say, my schedule will be pretty full between 2 jobs, a baby, and a husband in grad-school full time. It's never boring around here :-)

5 months!

Okay, so she is really closer to six months now, but here is her 5 month picture.

Here is what Zoe's been up to lately:
-She can crawl like a maniac! She's really fast now, especially if she sees a cell phone that she wants
-She sits up by herself. I'm actually very impressed by how straight she is sitting up now.
-She can easily go from sitting to crawling to sitting
-She is starting to pull herself up on things like the couch and the sides of her crib. Once I found her all the way up on her feet, but usually she's just standing on her knees with one hand on the couch or baby gate.
-She LOVES to eat. Surprising considering her parents :-) She has liked everything we've given her so far but I think that carrots and oatmeal are her favorites.
-She likes to give kisses
-She has 2 little bottom teeth
-She loves bathtime
-She likes to flip over onto all fours when we're trying to change her diaper - not cool
-She loves sitting in her new big-girl carseat, sitting up in the cart at the store, and going on walks in her stroller
-She notices whenever we leave the room and screams for us to come back
-She's getting better about going down for a nap when we just put her in her crib and tell her that it's naptime
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now. We sure love this little girl!
