Zoe's first text message

This morning while we were getting ready, Zoe helped herself to my phone. We noticed she set several appointments for me today and was sending text messages. And who did she send them to? Her Daddy! Ryan got a text message that said" p g". Just documenting to fun!

Here's some picture I took of her on my phone last night, trying to get her to smile.

XOXO,

Zoe has a new tooth. Her teeth come in so fast, we don't even know they are there until they are half way in. This morning, no tooth. When I picked her up from day care, new tooth. That makes a total of 7 teeth. I added some pictures from Tay's 2nd birthday party, taken by my sweet sil, Jen.

New Jammies and New Pictures

Been playing around with some photo actions.
Our ward campout was cancelled due to weather. So we decided to stay in with Pizza and jammies. (much better choice in my opinion) Zoe is getting so big! She'll be one in just a few weeks.
Tomorrow we'll be celebrating our niece, Taylor's, 2nd birthday. Time flies so fast.

Last night my BFF, Heather and I had a craft night over the internet. Gotta love Skype. I love technology. I miss you Heather! I made Zoe 5 hairbows....you should being seeing more of those soon.

Have a great weekend!
XOXO,
Holly & Co.

While we are out....

So lately, life has been more than busy, and now, I'm sick.
But it's been so long since I updated.
In short, here's our new happenings.
-Zoe took 4 steps. She isn't that interested in walking just yet, but she takes steps every now and then.
-Zoe had her 10 month appt. She weighs 20 lbs. 12.5 ozs. putting here in the 70th %.
-Zoe is eating lots of solid foods. She loves bread.
-Ryan is nearing the end of his semester and is doing great (A's across the board)
-I am busy planning ward activities and scrapbooking when I get a chance.

Here's some recent pictures to tide you all over.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

What I found...

this morning while we were getting ready this morning...


No...it wasn't Campbell's fault...

Zoe discovered the toilet paper!
And this is my new favorite picture of Zoe. This was taken after the toilet paper mishap, but I love it!

And next, we have Zoe and her blueberry waffles.We're going to dye Easter eggs tonight with the Stauffers. Should be fun to see Zoe react. She made her first finger painting this week at daycare. She did really well.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter!

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

Big Girl Now!

Zoe's new favorite food:Normally, she eats dinner in her exersaucer, but I finally broke down and got a booster/high chair and she LOVES it. After dinner tonight, she spent another 30 minutes just sitting in her chair, playing with it. Here she is enjoying her cheerios, tonight.

Ryan and I could swear that we heard her say, "No no," when I tried to pick her up out of her chair. And then she said," Da da," tonight in the tub.

She's been starting to dance more often. She bobs up and down and shakes her head from side to side. I tried to get her to do it on video, but of course she stopped.

I've been in a major creative way recently, so I'm been scrapping as much as I can. I'll try to post some of those soon.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

Standing up!

Well this obviously isn't Zoe standing up, but it's the crazy hair she woke up with the other morning!

After dinner tonight, Zoe was playing with us and she stood up for like 10+ seconds! She's such a fast crawler that she doesn't have a really strong desire to walk/stand. But tonight we got her to stand multiple times. Hopefully she'll start trying to walk by herself soon.

This week Zoe started new daycare. Jamie is pregnant and so we found some new care for her but we sure do miss Jamie and E. Thanks Jamie! So far she loves Ms. Liz and comes home tired every day! She falls asleep before we get home.

Yesterday for FHE, Ryan, Zoe & I headed up to the best scrapbook store in California, Green Tangerines and had fun replenishing my stash. We also stopped by Fry's for Ryan and Sonic to get drinks.

This weekend, my bff from Colorado is coming to visit. I haven't seen him since my wedding so we're anxious for him to meet Zoe and catch up.

I'm excited for Easter to come. I got some goodies for Zoe's Easter basket. I don't think we're going to do an egg hunt, but the Easter Bunny will come fill her basket.
I'll leave you with this picture I snapped of Zoe last week playing with her books in her room.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.
