A little early


Even though Zoe isn't 4 months until the 3rd of next month, we decided to let her try some cereal this evening before bed. Even though she is usually just waking up once during the night, I thought maybe this will help get her sleeping through the night. She was so hungry when we gave it to her that I couldn't get it in there fast enough! I think she was so hungry that she might not of even realized that it was something different! She kept on looking at me like, "Come on Mom!" Too cute! The only picture I got was of her holding the spoon, not happy. Daddy only has one arm to work with and that's the one she was laying on so maybe we will get some more pics soon:)

Accident

Well, the same day that Zoe rolled over Daddy had a little accident. He has been going to the our church to help with our re-modeling that we are doing. He decided to take his bicycle for exercise. On the way there he had a bit of an accident:( I got a phone call about 15 minutes after he had left the house from one of the guys working at the church. He told me that Christian had an accident and that he was taking him the ER. Strangely I didn't panic and just started praying. Turns out that he had a broken/dislocated wrist! After being at the ER for awhile, they then sent him on the Joplin because it was so bad. He ended up having to have surgery!!! The bone in his wrist was actually broken in half so they had to go in and put some screws and a metal plate to get it back together and to heal correctly. Soooooooooooo....quite an unexpected thing to happen that day. Christian made it well throughout the surgery and we brought him home about 11pm that night. Luckily my mom oddly came up on Monday for the evenig. I know that it was a God thing that she was here to be with the kids while I went to be with Christian. God is so good!! Christian is doing well at home and we are praying and believing for a fast recovery for him. I am very thankfull that nothing worse happened and that he is okay.

Video

Here is the video of Ms. Zoe rolling over for the first time..I got a little excited and dropped the camera to tell Christian right before the last of the turn over, but it's better than nothing:) I had a strange feeling that she was going to do it and so I got the camera out just in case! Good thing I did!

Jon's football game against Carthage.











Jonathan's 3rd grade football team had an awesome defeat against Carthage on Saturday. The final score was 20 to 14. Jonathan did soooo good in his game that he is now playing first string. He had two sacks and ALMOST two interceptions. He is doing so good and we are so proud of him! At first I was scared to death to have my baby playing ''tackle" football but now I'm loving it! I actually almost lost my voice from screaming so loud at the game!!! GO TIGERS!!!! Here are some pics of Jonathan in action:)








Zoe rolls over!!!

Well today was the day! Our big girl rolled over after a couple of weeks of trying soooo hard! It was so neat. She is getting so big!!! Yeah!!!! She is 14 weeks now. Very hard to believe!!!!

New things

Zoe had her first laugh on Sunday afternoon!!! It was so precious. Yes..I cried:) It was a God thing that I was on the phone with Christian when it hapenned and he was able to hear her too. He just got back home from a fishing trip at the coast with his step father. They had a really good time. We were definately glad for Daddy to be home!!! Another new thing is that Zoe started grabbing her toys last night and shaking them. It was sooo precious seeing her paying such close attention to what she was doing. My the things that entertain us!! She is getting so big. Hard to believe that she is going to be 3 months on the 3rd. My how time flies!

2 month appt







We had Zoe's two month check up today. She is doing great and growing!!! She is now 11 pounds and 11 ounces and 23 1/2 inches long. She is in the 75% bracket for her height and weight! Yeah!!! She got one shot and took it like a champ. She has to get the rest of them(THREE) on Wednesday because they were out of the one's that she needed. So...she is going to have to do the whole thing again in just two days. She looked @ Christian for a second in disbelief that they poked her, cried for about a minute and shortly later went to sleep. Ofcourse I worked myself up but was proud that I only got tears in the eyes and didn't shed them! lol. I cannot believe that she is so big now!!! Wow how time flies! Here is a couple of pictures that we took of her after her bath tonight.
