First Smiles and New Cousins

The last few days, Zoe has really started smiling at us.  I was lucky to catch a few on camera!

Yes, the bow is about the size of her head, but she looks so cute!

A few days ago, Zoe got to finally meet her new cousins Hunter, Maggie and Archer!  I had been telling her all about them and she couldn't wait to for them to come for a visit.  They finally made it after a long drive from Abilene.  We met them at Grammy Great's place and got to visit for a little bit.

Hunter got to hold Zoe!  It was a quick visit but it was so good to see the kids as well as Katie and Ben, we miss you guys!!  Come back and visit again soon!

Zoe is One Month Old!

Zoe, you are a month old today and your daddy and I couldn't be more in love with you.  I can't believe how fast the last month has gone, but I also can't imagine life without you. 

Here are some of the things you are doing now so mommy doesn't forget!  At one month old you:

- Eat about every 2 to 3 hours during the day, about 3oz each time

- Weighed 6lbs 13oz and measured 20in long at your two week check up, we can't wait to see how much you've grown at your next appointment!

- Have been going longer between feedings at night, we had a couple seven hour stretches the past week!

- Sleep at night in our room in your pack n play, on your back swaddled up

- Get a bath every couple days or so and are doing much better now that we can actually put you in the water

- Do tummy time everyday for about ten minutes or until you start fussing, you do very well holding your head up

- You take a passifier while we're getting your bottles ready and sometimes while you're falling asleep

- Like to take naps in your swing

- Like riding in the car

-Still growing into your newborn clothes and wearing newborn size diapers

We love you so much Zoe Grace, and can't wait to see what the future brings for you!



Zoe's Visitors

Zoe will be four weeks old on Thursday and has had a lot of visitors come to meet her!  Our first night home, we had Zoe's Gram and G come over with Uncle Matt and Randi.  We also had my granddaddy and Sandy over to meet Zoe.  We watched some football and ate dinner while Zoe slept the entire time!

After a few days, Zoe finally got to meet her Grammy Great and see her Aunt Cathy again.  Here is a picture of her with Grammy Great.



And finally Zoe got a chance to meet her new cousins, her Aunt Cindy, and her Uncle Kevin.

This past Saturday we took Zoe on her first of many trips to Van Alstyne to say goodbye to our cousin Lucas who has joined the army.  She got to meet lots of new family and friends, here she is with Aunt Cathy and Aunt Jen.

We also went to visit cousin Chelsea who was at home not feeling very well, so we went over to surprise her.  I hope we made her feel a little better!  We love you Chels!

It is a blessing to see how many people already love our little girl.  Thank you everyone for coming by to see and love on Zoe!  She is so blessed to have all of you in her life, and so are we!
