5 months

Zoey turned 5 months old on Thanksgiving. I can't believe how big she is getting. Here are a few things we love about her, along with some new stages in her life:
- Her smile. She is always smiling and making Shawn and I laugh.
- Rolling. She has started to roll over. It is so fun to watch her work so hard to roll over and then get so upset when she is on her tummy because she can't roll back over.
- Sitting up. She can sit up on her own. She does not last a long time, but she is getting so strong and loves to sit up.
- Sucking her thumb. I don't know if we love her sucking on her thumb, but she loves it. She is constantly sucking on her thumb. It is so funny. She just noticed it over the break and is always doing it.
- Naps. She has always been a great napper and has slept through the night since she was two weeks old, but she loves her naps. She takes 2-3 hour naps twice a day. It is nice for me to get stuff done, but I also hate it because I would much rather have her up so I can play with her.
-Laugh. She has the cutest laugh ever. I love to make her laugh. She loves playing hide and seek, and peek-a-boo. She will laugh no matter what.
-Blanca- This is her bunny that makes lullaby sounds. She loves it. She kisses and hugs on it and whenever she is cranky, this will always calm her down and make her smile.
-Bath time. She loves taking a bath. When we are done giving her a bath, we get her out and bring her to the mirror. She loves to look at herself in the mirror and smile. Totally a girl.

We love you so much Zoey. You are our life and we are so blessed to have you.

FAMILY

Zoey had so much fun playing with her cousins. She got spoiled the whole time we were home. My niece had her 2nd birthday party, my nephew loved kissing on Zoey, and my sisters loved on her too. Here are a few pics of Zoey growing up so fast with her cousins.

More Thanksgiving Fun

We had such a fun time over Thanksgiving break. We played horse on a little kid basketball hoop, and of course I won :), made watch bands, watched Smallville, went to a ton of family parties, went to my sister Kylee's high school basketball game where Shawn almost got in a fight, did lots of shopping, played lots of board games, and went to TSR to race go karts on a track. It was a blast. Shawn won!!! He was flying around the corners and had no mercy. We have so many blessings to be thankful for. Most importantly we love our family, friends and the gospel. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday!!!

Stats

I took Zoey in to the doctor yesterday for her four month check-up. Here are her stats:
WEIGHT: 15 pounds 14 ounces (Between 75th and 90th percentile) HEIGHT: 26 inches (Between 75th and 90th percentile) HEAD: 16 inches (25th percentile)

And here is a picture after the shots. She fell right asleep. She was extremely upset though. Ten times more mad than when she got her ears pierced. And she is super cranky today too. I feel really bad for her. She even has a fever and stuffed up nose. Hope she is not getting sick.

Gotta Love Renting

So this morning Shawn comes in and tells me we have a problem. And I am thinking Roxy, our dog, did something or else he broke something. He tells me we have a leak from our roof. Just what I wanted to hear. So I called the management and told them. The good thing is they were here within ten minutes. He fixed the problem and said it was because of our shower. We recently got a new shower and the dudes who put it in screwed it up and didn't attach things right. Now I am blessed with three holes in the roof and a big wet spot on the carpet. Man I love renting and I just have to remember that we will be renting for quite some time too. I guess it could have been way worse right? There could have been a flood or something.

What's Wrong With This Picture

On Sunday Shawn and I were taking a ton of pictures of her and getting her to laugh and smile. Well she was getting a little fussy and so we decided to take her dress off and give her a break from all the dress up. Well we took a ton of pictures and like I said in another post, Zoey loves to point at the camera when we take pictures of her. Well, guess what sign she decides to show her mommy and daddy!!!

Smiles

Zoey has such a cute personality. She just smiles and laughs all the time. She has the cutest laugh too. It cracks us up. Her new thing is pointing at the camera when we take pictures of her and she is slobbering a ton. She loves to blow bubbles and spit everywhere. I really love this stage in her life right now. She is so much fun. I do however miss the newborn stage when I could just cuddle her all the time. She doesn't like that so much anymore:(

BEES!!!

This weekend was so much fun. We got to go to Couer D'Alene for the weekend and see my family. It was high school state volleyball and so my sister Kylee's team was there. My family has not seen Zoey for two months and the little tike has just grown so much. We ate tons, shopped tons, and cheered tons. My sister Kylee is an amazing volleyball player. Her team took State. Way to go Bees. So for Halloween, my whole family dressed up as Bees since my sister's mascot is a Bee. It was awesome. I loved every second of it and I am sad that the weekend went by so fast. I didn't really even get that great of a picture of Zoey in her bee outfit. She looked so cute, but she was sweating so bad. That costume was off in ten minutes after we set foot in the gym. Hope everyone had a great Halloween. We sure did.
