August update

Rapidly approaching 5 months, Zoe got some quality family time in with her new cousin Sohpie, Aunt Julie and Uncle Rob and Oompa Paul and Mimi Cathy. It was a nice getaway from the 104 temperatures of Austin to spend a cool 101 degree day in San Antonio.

Zoe also ordered some new hair clips online and wanted to show them off.

Zoe is not afraid to show people her middle parts. In fact, she often offers up a peak from time to time.

Then it was family picture time. As always, the ladies in my life look stunning. Yep, that's what I get to come home to every day!

Zoe took a cute shot with her dad too.

While the available time to have sit down pictures, it helps to have a tripod and a timer on the camera. With such advantages, you can really get a great shot like this.

Only 4 months old and already rebelling.

4 month checkup!

Really, 4 months old already? Really?

Yep, and we've got the stats to prove it! Weighing in at 13lbs and 14 1/2 ounces, Zoe is right at 50% percentile. Also smack dab in the middle, she is 24 1/2 inches long. She wouldn't allow that to stop her from beating the averages with a 41 1/2 cm head circumference. Big head, who'da thunk it!

Zoe's hair is starting to grow back in as well. Sort of a strawberry blonde color right now. Those blue eyes and long eye lashes are still holding strong too.

Cousin Sophie is here!

Zoe has a new cousin. Sophie Grace was born on July 20th and is super cute.



Congrats to Julie and Rob, as well as the rest of the family. We can't wait to watch our two beauties grow up together.

Let's get physical!

Just try to resist Zoe in leg warmers.

Pushups

She's still not a big fan of lying on her stomach, but she's getting better. Not only getting better, but proving to herself she can get on her back with a pushup and a roll.

Behold the cuteness!

More Cuteness

Zoe got her first 'aquarium' this weekend. Really, it's just a light up, music makin', monkey swingin' party. She loves it!

As if the picture weren't cute enough, here's some video!

Ooooooh

This is just too much.

Uncle Robbie and Auntie Julie!

Though Zoe had met Uncle Robbie before, never has she had so much awesome Uncle Robbie time! Not only did Uncle Robbie want to hold The Zo as much as possible, but Zoe was quite content hanging with him too.

After spending so much quality time with Rob, Auntie Julie needed some Zo time as well. Zoe was happy to oblige. 

Zoe also discovered how comfortable the stand and lean position can really be. 

There there was just undeniable cuteness.

T-minus 25 days

We're getting down to the wire and Sally is still the hottest lady around. Almost 37 weeks and a knockout!

We spent the weekend washing several loads of baby clothes, building a bookcase for the nursery and beginning the decoration. We're pretty minimalist when it comes to design, but with so much cool stuff, it's hard not to put everything out!

Austin is known for bats. Furry blue bats are cute.

The new bookcase is 'home' to a couple new whatchamacallit friends.

Every Texas girl needs boots. Purple cowboy boots with flames to be more precise.

We love this Flensted mobile. Appropriately enough, it's a flock of 4 white and 1 black sheep. We're hoping they'll be counted successfully for many nights to come.

Crystal ball?

We're having a skeleton
