First Thanksgiving

First bike ride

First Halloween

Z has grown so much this month.  Saying Mama and Dada and even bye, bye.  She even started waving.  Z hasn't started to crawl yet, but has mastered siting up on her own.  She talks so much even though she seems delayed in her physical milestones.  She definitely is a people person and will smile and anyone who will look at her.  She eats so well and so much too and continues to sleep 11-12 hours a night!!!

The Boy is 11

He loves to climb.  We celebrated his 11th birthday at Rockreation with a few of closest friends.  He had such a fun time and was so appreciative.  I love his sweet and tender spirit and is such a wonderful big brother.  He did tell me that he's still waiting for a brother...HAHA! 

My Boy of Fall

LJ loves flag football and plays the position of running back and corner.

6 Months

Wow! 6 months already.  Z sleeps so well at night and I am really blessed.  She has such a sweet disposition and is really starting to take in her surroundings.  She pays attention to details and wants to crawl so badly.  Z is quite attached to me and at times doesn't want me to put her down at all, which usually isn't an issue but it is usually around the time I need to make dinner.Z is also babbling so much, adding different consonant blends to her cooing...she's a girl :)

Her first Halloween

LJ is loving playing football for the school and seems to be enjoying 5th grade. So far he's doing well in his studies and is such a HUGE help to me with the baby.

5 Months

Z is moving around so much without crawling.  She raises her upper body up all the way and has been sleeping from 7 p.m to 6 a.m for the past six weeks and takes 2 two hour naps throughout the day.

Z loves being around people and smiles at anyone who looks at her.  She laughs so much and her brother does such a great job at making Z laugh. 

4 Months

Z and A.  Already best friends.

                                               

Z is getting stronger is adjusting well to staying with my friend.  I'm adjusting going back to work and handling a boy in sports and an infant.  Z is growing way to fast and we are all loving having this little girl in our lives.

3 months

We had a busy month with bike rides, parks and pool time and Uncle Mark and Aunt Shelly and all the cousins coming out here to HB to visit us.  Matt even put Z under water for the first time and she didn't even cry.  She even fell asleep being held in the water.  Z has started to laugh out loud now and smiles at everyone.  LJ will be starting 5th grade at the end of the month and that means I have to go back to work, but the blessing is that I get to keep Z with me all day.

2 months

Z is growing so fast and is already cooing, babbling and started to giggle a little.  She sure loves her big brother and he is so good with her.  We have been to the beach and celebrated her first 4th of July.

Z is sleeping very well at night and will sleep 7-8 hours straight before her next feeding.  She takes 3 two hour naps during the day and enjoys being outside.  What a great addition she has been to our family and we still look at her with such awe, so thankful to the Father who blessed us with this little miracle.
