July

Well, Its hard to believe that July is already here. Zoe is 5 1/2 months and changing every day. Her newest trick is that she LOVES rolling from her back to her belly and looking around at everything. As soon as I put her down, there she goes. Even in her crib she wont sleep on her back anymore - which I will say is causing me to change her sheets all the time since she drools ALL over the bed. I put her down in the middle and the next morning she is turned around, upside down, and in the corner peering out of the crib. Oh well, at least she wakes up happy! She also is loving standing and has no interest in sitting at all. Even in her bumbo chair she stretches out and straightens those legs until she is almost out of it. Zoe is very much a watcher and wants to see everything that is going on. We have had some playdates and its quite funny because her friends (though most of them are older and boys) are splashing in the pool and going crazy and she just watches and soaks it all in. Her favorite part of the day is when we sing Jesus Loves Me at night right before we put her down and she just gets the hugest smile. Either she is excited to go to bed, or she just really loves my singing :)

Zoe's 6 cousins (yes, all one family-whew!) came for a quick visit and a swim. They are all so precious. The oldest 2 were in our wedding as our ring bearer and flower girl. Wow have they grown up ! The little boy in the brown shorts was DAYS old when he came to our wedding. Props!

Zoe and her betrothed Maximus. He is sporting the Mohawk.
4th of July parade!
Swim time. I like this float beause she can lean forward and NOT drink the whole pool.

Uncle Taylor came for a visit. He did not change any diapers :)
