November 2012

November seems to have come and is almost gone!  It has been a very fast month for our family of four!

As a family we have been battling colds and coughs the entire month!

Zoe turned 21 months old on November 14, which marked three months until her 2nd Birthday! Gosh, I better get my stuff together for her birthday!  We also had a very good friend of ours say she will be hosting a baby shower for Baby Chloe sometime in Jan. That is exciting but will also take some planning.  Zoe has officially been moved to her toddler bed as of this week! Yay us!  Potty training however has come to a stop due to the colds and coughs going on in our house. We will have to try to conquer that in December over the break!

Zoe got see her Grandma Rhonda for weekend to take care of her when she was sick and her arm was hurt this month.  Daddy was pretty awesome getting all the Christmas decorations out of the garage for mommy the day before Thanksgiving!  I was able to decorate everything in about an hour!  It was so easy with the new tree I got the day after Christmas last year!  This is also the first time in 9 years that there is no blue, silver, and white theme... this year we are red, white, and silver.  Now mommy wants to find a train to go around the tree!!! Zoe loves the lights, the tree, the globes, and the music making objects mommy has taken out! She ever went to sleep with one the other night! This Holiday season is already starting off exciting! I know it will only get better!  I love the fact that Zoe is more aware of everything around her! And next year... wow, two baby girls for the Holiday season! It just keeps getting better and better!

For this break Zoe also got to see her Aunt Cheryl, Uncle John, Aunt Marylee, Aunt Kylie, Godparents Aunt Janene and Uncle Aaron for this Thanksgiving break!  To start the break off she went to little gym to times in a row, got to see daddy play soccer and score a goal for her, got to play a little soccer with Zaelynn, and got to play with Gillian!  The rest of the break was spent in daddies and mommies arms due to her being sick.

Here are some captured moments from the month November in our little family household!
Well as soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I will!

Baby Zoe,
Thank you for all you hugs, kisses, love, and fun each and everyday! Mommy is so proud of you and how much you learn and accomplish each day! You will be such an awesome big sister to Baby Chloe!
Love,
Mommy

Baby Chloe,
You are 22 weeks old in my belly! Keep growing strong each and everyday! Thank you for all your kicks and movements I feel all day long! Please keep them coming! Mommy and Daddy, and Zoe are so excited that you will be here next year in March or April. Keep healthy and happy baby Chloe! Mommy loves you with all of her heart!!!
Love,
Mommy

Lots of things going on in October!

 

September was a busy month! 19 months old and more

Zoe Grace and her parents have had a very busy month. She is growing so fast and learning more and more each day.  Below she was painting with mommy! She loved it and had biggest tantrum afterwards to express her love for painting!

 

 

This is the silly girl we get every night!  Here she is hiding her black eye she got three weeks before at daycare.

My tired baby!

Look at this cutie pie and her pigtails! You can still see her black eye!

If we do not get the silly baby girl we get the cranky, need my milk, my doll, blanket, and some micky mouse club baby girl!

Telling everyone goodmorning after a fresh shower!

Having a blast in her table tent!

Zoe ready for some late football!

Zoe had the roughest night ever which landed her at the doctors office all day and a soft purple cast on her left arm!  No breaks or fractures but a dislocation...  She wore it for five days almost!  My poor sweetie.  See her poofy eyes from all the tears that she shed all day...

Funny how a little rest is a big difference to a toddler... here she is hours later at mommies work for parent teacher open house... playing with what will be her Christmas present... shhh... it was a preview for her and hey... how can you tell a cute baby that went through a lot no after the night and day that she had... the good news is... she was distracted by all the kids and parents so I was able to pack it away so she will see it next on Christmas!  So here she is a few hours after getting her first purple cast and smiley and happy!

Here is the baby girl we got the next morning!  So exhausted and tired!  She tried to get us to stay home but somebody had to make the money!

Cutie at the little gym!

Zoe playing with her daddy's cell phone!

She loves shopping with mommy and daddy!

The middle of september marked Zoes last time to have mommies milk!  Thank you from up above that I was able to get enough to freeze and give to her each and everyday for the last 19 months!  Some great nutrients and vitamins from her momma!  Breastfed 16 months and still enjoyed mommas milk for 3 more months!  Pretty awesome! What a blessing!  These are the last two bags that she enjoyed!

Here is Zoe's sibling... boy or girl... we will know next month!  Here baby #2 is 12 weeks and 4 days old!  Keep growing strong baby, mommy and daddy are here cheering and praying for your to keep growing more and more each day!  Zoe is watching you grow healthy and strong too so that she play with you next year!

So far I have gained 6 pounds, crave little debbies, jalepeno cheetos, sour chewy candies, cookies, potatoes with anything, and do not like meat of any kind!  Do to being a little more tired, I have only managed to run 1-2 a week...

More hopes that the next month is easier to get moving!
