Half a Year Old!

Zoebug, you are growing up way too fast. You are now 6 months old!! You are doing so much and you are learning new things every day.

• You weigh 15 lbs even
  
• You've started enjoying tummy time.
• You can stand while holding on to something. Pulling up is not far off, I have a feeling.
  
• Your favorite food is sweet potatoes. I can't feed you fast enough when you eat them.
• When on your tummy you scoot backwards, it's the cutest thing!
• You are wearing size 6 month & 6-9 month clothes and 9 month sleepers because your legs are long. You are going to be tall like your Daddy.
• You get really excited when any of the animals come near you. Rocky lets you pull on his fur, his ears & poke him in the eye.
  

Easter & Mother's Day

So much is going on that I feel like I need to be updating more than once a month. Since Zoey turned 5 months she had her first Easter & I had my first Mother's Day. Josh flew in for both holidays so that was great!

Easter Sunday Zoey went to her first church service. She slept through most of it. As the speaker was praying at the end of the service, Zoey decided she wanted to help out & started talking so Josh took her out to the lobby.
Zoey also went to her first baseball game. We went to the Owasso/Bartlesville game last week. She just looked around at everything. Josh joined a softball league so I think Zoey will like to go watch him play.

Me and my baby girl on Mother's Day

I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day. Bell flew Josh home, which the originally weren't going to. Then, as a bonus, he got Monday off so he got to stay an extra day. We celebrated with my family on Saturday & his family on Sunday. Monday Josh let me sleep in & woke me up with breakfast in bed :-) We then went to Tulsa for lunch at The Brook then he took me to Vintage Pearl to pick out a necklace. I got one that has a moon with the saying "I love you to the moon and back" and Zoey's name on it.
Zoey is doing so much! She has such a big personality already. She is the happiest baby I have ever seen. We started just laying her down because naps were becoming a battle. She falls asleep within 10 minutes & sleeps longer than if we rocked her! It is great! She takes 3-4 hour & a half naps now! Here's some other things she is up to:

• She says "ma ma" all the time now. I love hearing her talk.
• She tries to imitate us when we blow raspberries at her. It is the cutest thing.
• She is starting to be leary of strangers. She's fine as long as mom or dad are nearby though.
• Once she sees you are ok, she is a big flirt. She talks and gets so excited if you talk to her.
• She sticks her feet in her mouth all the time.
  
• She just started sitting up on her own this morning.
  
• We're working on crawling, she just hasn't figured out how to move her arms.
  
• She loves Jack & Rocky. She gets excited when they are near & puts out her hands to grab them when they walk by.
• Everything goes in her mouth. If it's in her hands it goes straight to the mouth and she grabs for everything.
• She now eats cereal in the morning & a fruit or veggie at night. Right now it's apples. She loves them!

I'm sure there's a lot more but I figure this is a long enough post for now.
