Zoe and Savannah

Aaron's parents have two Golden Retrievers, Savannah and Cheerio and everytime we go to visit Zoe just has to play with them. Zoe loves Savannah and Savannah loves Zoe. Last time we went to visit Aaron's parent's Savannah was laying on the floor and when Zoe finally spotted her she crawled over to see her. Savannah was so good and just let Zoe crawl all over her. She didn't even move! It was so cute.

Lilacs

Spring is here and so the lilacs are out. Susan, the boys, Zoe and I went to Highland Park last week to see and smell the lilacs. It was wonderful to be out and enjoying the world around us. The boys had fun racing to the top of the hill, Zoe had a blast trying to eat every lilac she could reach and Susan and I had a great time doing something other than going to Wal-mart or to the farm to play. Now we just have to find something to do this week.

I love this lilac with it's two tone color. It also smells so good.

Zoe trying to get some food, I mean lilacs.

"This one looks good enough to eat."

"I think I'll try it."

"This is so good. Can I have some more please?"

Summer Has Arrived

Zoe is loving the outdoors. She loves to go for walks in her stroller around the farm. She also loves the new tree swing Aaron but up. She just wants to go, go, go. In her mind she is ready to walk but her body is not quite where yet. She pulls herself up to everything and then just lets go and falls over. She then gets mad that she feel over. I'm sure that she will be walking very soon. I already need a baby gate because she crawls all over the place and tries to eat the cat food or play in the litter box or even pull herself up to the bath tub and try to get in. There is never a dull moment with Zoe. Where are some pictures of her latest adventures.

Zoe is in the stage where she wants to feed herself. She does fine with finger foods but is still pretty messing with baby food. She sure had a lot of fun though.

Going for a ride in the stroller. I can put her in the stroller and she comes with me to feed the animals. She loves to watch the chickens and get kisses from the llamas.

What Can I Say... Zoe Is SOOOOO Cute!

Here are some pictures of Zoe from the last few weeks. It is amazing how time gets away from you when you have kids. I take back everything I ever said about people not putting up new stuff on their blogs very often. I have now turned into one of those people. I will try harder to do better.

My vampire baby. Her right front tooth has finally come in.

Utah

Sorry it has been so long. It is crazy how fast time flies. I will try to do better at posting on the blog. Last month Zoe and I took a trip to Utah to attended the 30th birthday party of one of my roommates from Utah State University. She has terminal cancer and so her friends wanted to throw her a big party to celebrate her life. It was so wonderful to see all the people that showed up in support of her and her family. I'm so glad that I was able to go and see her again.

I was able to see a few friends and some family while I was there which was also nice. It was a short trip and there are so many people I know it Utah so I'm sorry if I didn't get to see you while I was there.

Zoe did so well on the trip. I was so nervous about taking her on the plane but she was an angel. Everyone kept commenting on how well she was being. She even fell asleep during take off. She also did great with all the driving and the different houses and people that we visited while in Utah. She is such a people person. I'm not sure where she gets it from.

Who Needs a Crib?

The other day I was washing dishes and so I put Zoe in her Johnny Jump Up in the doorway of the kitchen so that she could see me. She was having a great time jumping and making all her new sounds. I noticed that she was rubbing her eyes and figured that it was about time for her to take a nap but I only had a few dishes let. I was almost done and I realized that she was being very quiet. As I turned around I found my little baby totally asleep standing up. It was so funny. She stayed asleep long enough for Aaron and I to get some great pictures of her before I moved her to her swing to sleep. And so starts the collection of photos to show on her first date. I love kids. They are so entertaining. HEHEHE
