8 Months Old!

Zoë, today you are 8 months old! This month has brought a lot of change for our family! And sickness too. Here's what you've been up to:

Easter Sunday -- just relaxing, and kicking Mommy in the face

-- You celebrated your first Easter. It wasn't too exciting, because you were sick. But you did look cute and wore one of my dresses! Mimi gave you a new, soft bunny, an egg toy, a light-up chick, sunglasses, a bright pink sun hat, and your very first swimsuit! I can't wait to see you wear it!

Easter Sunday nap

Happy to be in your jumperoo!

-- You got your first bout of sickness. A lung infection. How terrible!

But no one was feeling very good. 

-- You've completed your first move. Welcome to the family. There are lots of them ;)

You had a good time getting to know Mimi

Snuggles and Kisses

We are excited for spring weather! 

St. Patrick's Day 2016

We got out the jumperoo this month, you are loving it! 

-- You like to rub Daddy's beard and give him kisses. He can ask you for them and you'll lean in with a big smile, and many times, tongue out!

-- You are starting to get up on your knees some, especially when I set you down on your tummy, you'll tuck your knees up under you and stay that way for awhile. You are getting around the house via rolling and scooting.

-- You've begun to say "da-da".

-- You continue to twirl your ankles, especially when you have socks on. Constant circles. It's really cute!

Zoë Kayte, you are such a lovely addition to our family! You have become more interactive and I can see your personality coming through a little more. I love listening to you babble! Such a sweet sound. You are laughing more, weigh 13 lbs., and are almost 26 inches long! We love you so very much, Zoë! Happy 8 months! Love, Mommy
