I'm awake Dad....You should be too!

Zoey was wide awake at 5 a.m. this morning. So we decided to go give Daddy a smiley wake up call.

Needless to say Chris woke up for a few minutes then we left him to go back asleep. He fell back asleep very hard right away as he then snored through his alarm for 30 minutes.

Too precious.

A MAJOR blowout!

This picture is of cousin Kennedy rocking Zoey to sleep. She came and visited us with my sister Tammy this past weekend. Kennedy went with me to help change Zoey's diaper, which I figured was very dirty. And it was. BAD! I went through 3 other diapers without even putting them on. She just kept going! We laughed so hard it was hilarious. Now I just have to get Kennedy to change the diapers.

We love having visitors and seeing everyone's reactions to her rapid growth.

Welcome to my Jungle

Here's a picture of Zoey on her favorite past time, her jungle mat. She loves lying on this and beating the monkey and elephant. She coos and makes noises, it's so much fun to watch her.

This morning we had her two month well baby check up. She weighs a whopin 10 lbs 15 oz. Right on target. Dr. Pat said she's in perfect health and is doing phenomenal. She also go her first shots today. Mommy had to step out of the room and let daddy and the nurse take over. Poor thing got shots in both legs. Right now she's sleeping in my lap I just gave her some Tylenol as her little legs were obviously in pain as she was screeming and crying. Breaks your heart!

I am cherishing every day, hour, minute that I'm blessed to have with her. I will be heading back to work on Nov. 19th. Not really looking forward to it, but I know I need to. It's hard when I've spent nearly every minute with her for the past 9 weeks. It has just flown by. I truly have an appreciation I didn't have before for all the fellow mom's out there. You definitely don't understand until you are one.

We are now getting ready for Zoey's baptism on November 9th. We have a dress for her and finally have the food figured out. It's going to be a small gathering of our families. Should be a nice time as some haven't seen her since she was born and she has changed so much!

Baby Blackshirt

Zoey is a true blackshirt. She dresses in her Husker gear every football Saturday. I added the headband to clearly identify she IS a girl.

She is growing so fast. I seriously think she's gained a pound in a day!

We've gone to breastmilk in a bottle now. It was alot of stress and difficult on both of us to keep going the pure natural way. She's still getting the good stuff and does not look underfed.

She's outgrowing some of her newborn onesies. She is beginning to smile alot more which just melts your heart.

The thing that still amazes me is that she makes sounds like a 300 pound sailor when breaking wind. I have a feeling she will be this way all her life. Gotta love it!

Pretty in Pink

We got this cute pink jammie outfit as a present. I just love putting her in this. She's so cute and cozy!

I think Chris is going to be in trouble with two girls in the house who like clothes!

Belly Cast Art

I finished the belly cast today. I painted a monkey on it and "girled" it up by putting a flower behind it's ear and diamond earrings. It really is pretty cute. I put it on the shelf in Zoey's room.

Hopefully it will bring a smile to her face one day.

Boo!

As you all know we are HUGE Halloween fans! Every year we put on a great party for our friends. We always have many memorable moments and lots of pictures. This year we've decided to not put on our party, even though it kills us not to. It's just a little too much work with a newborn.

Of course I've had to purchase a few Halloween outfits for our little girl. Here is one. It's bright orange with a ghost on it saying boo! She just happend to also smile when I snapped this photo. That tells me she LOVES Halloween too.

She has been growing and growing. And eating and eating! All good things. Now if we can work on that sleep time and overall schedule thing, life would be REALLY good. All in due time I'm told.

Look for more Halloween pictures to come!
