Happy Easter !!!!

SO - How did we do? Pretty eggs or what?

We have had quite a few busy days this week, but today was just EGGcellent. We dyed easter eggs. Zoey had a great time watching all the bright vibrant colors - and I am sure that next year she will show us that she has an inner PICASSO just waiting to come out.

Lets see what other highlights we have to post :

*Zoey had her checkup on Thursday ( she was 7 months old that day) and is now 16 lbs and 24 1/2 inches. She is such a big girl now. I think back to when she was a tiny little peanut at 3lbs 8 oz and just can't believe how much she has grown. The doctor says that she is doing wonderfully, and is very happy with where she is now. The last two days have been tough though because the side effects from her shots and teething have her very very cranky :(

*We are looking forward to seeing all our florida family next week. I can't wait to meet baby Haley!!!!!!!! We are going to have lots and lots of fun.

Time to get ready for bed - - - - > night night

Busy Busy Busy.... but some pics

Just Ducky!

Didn't mommy tell you "no riding in cars with boys?"

OK - so I am the camera queen, and I just can't post a blog without slapping up a cute little picytre of my little princess. I am addicted to snapping pictures. Maybe thats why Zoey is such a ham. 90% of the time or more she sees the flash and starts to smile. I just can't help it. Hey - the first step is admitting you have a problem.

I am so excited that the T-Shirts I ordered have finally arrived. I got Zoey a t that says "I love my cousin Haley" and my neice Haley a shirt that says " I love my cousin Zoey" How freaking cute is that...... I love it. I also got Zoey one that says "Sorry Angelina I am already taken" and a bib that says "George Bush makes me spit up". Yes, for those of you who may be wondering - I am shaping Zoeys impressionable mind to be a Democrat .... at least until she is old enough to know its the only way - lol. -------- and don't worry I will post some pics as soon as she wears them.

It all goes so fast

I can't believe how fast time flies in the mommy world. Last night as I was filling in some more of Zoeys baby book, and I was amazed at how little we have left to fill in. All of the firsts just seemed to have happened so fast . I can't believe that in a few short days (3) my baby will be 7 months old. (sigh)

Zoey has some more big news too. She got her ears pierced on Saturday and did such a good job. Mommy was so much more scared then little Zoey. Princess hardly made a peep :) I was so scared that she would cry in pain, and all the other mommys would stare me down thinking "bad mommy". I think she really is a Diva, and just wanted some bling bling.

We also got a call from her agent today. Zoey went on a "go-see" a few weeks back for the United Colors of Benneton and they want to use her. We are hoping that it all works out with the schedule and we are able to do it, but all of our family will be here that week and its much more important for her to spend time with them. Her agent is working on the schedule with the client, and hopefully they can shoot her according to my schedule. So, you might just see her in an ad.

Nothing else all that new. Just getting ready for the Floridian family members to arrive. We can't wait to see everyone - and we really can't wait to meet Baby Haley.

SO - its been awhile...

Ok - i am sure that everyone has discovered that I haven't been doing a good job keeping up on the BLOG. Life just keeps me and baby Zoey so busy that sometimes we forget.

Its official- no more trips to Jersey Shore for preemie issues. Zoey had her appointment last week, and since she is no longer on the Apnea monitor & has recieved all of her RSV shots, she is all finished. YEAH! Its so strange to think that I have been making trips up to JSUMC for an entire year. While we are happy that Zoey is strong now, we will miss all the great doctors and nurses that we have met along the JOURNEY.

Zoey now weighs in at 15 lbs 4 oz. WOW!!!!!! even I am shocked. Especially since at one time she was a wee little 3 lbs 8 oz. She is growing so fast. She has started eating jar foods and loves her peaches and bananas - its shocking, but she can eat a whole jar at once already. I think they are going to be her favorites :) Zoey rolls from her back to her side, but has no desire to keep going because she HATES being on her tummy. Lets see - what else!?! The little princess has started drinking water out of her sippy cup and loves loves loves it. She is getting quite good at it.

We are busy getting ready for Zoeys Baptism in a few weeks. Its an extra exciting time because all of my family from florida will be coming out. We are so excited to see them, especially baby Haley who we haven't met yet.

Thats about it - have to run..... until someone invents the self cleaning house, its on me. lol
