America's Next Top Model

So I was going through the photos for the last few posts I've done and came across these pictures. I just had to share them with everyone! America's Next Top Model has been doing all day episodes and I've recorded a bunch to watch (there's not much on during the summer). Anyways, when I saw these photos I thought they made a cute mini photo shoot for Zoey.

It all started when Clay and I were cleaning up the house and Clay put this bag of trash by the door to take out. We kept cleaning and when we looked over she was laying her head on the bag like a pillow! Once Clay pulled out the camera she immediately started posing! These are my favorites.

I LOVE this head tilt!

After a few shots we finally got the one we were going for. Don't worry, the trash bag didn't have anything bad in it, and it was well tied up!
Oh, and Zoey's not quite opening them yet (thank goodness) but she can reach the doors. She does like to play with the locks on the knobs! That's why we don't let her play in her room by herself just yet, I'm afraid she'll lock herself in!

Memorial Day Trip

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to visit Clay's parents and sister in Oklahoma. It was a nice trip. I know there's a lot of pics but I just couldn't choose!!!

Here's a great family photo. Talking about photo they showed us how cool Skype was so we now have it so we can talk to them and others in the family! It's so cool!
Zoey had fun playing with the toys that Grandma had around the house.
This is one of my favorite faces she makes lately. The wide eyes and long open mouth! She's just too cute!
Eventually Zoey warmed up to everyone and even let Papa read her a book in his chair.
One afternoon I took her on a walk around the pond by there house. Zoey would stop every so often and pick up little pieces of grass that were on the ground and hand them to me. I love how awed she is by the simplest things around her.
We went to a pancake breakfast by the Boy Scouts on Memorial Day. It was actually pretty yummy. I know this pic is blurry but as always, I thought it was cute!
We had a great weekend and Zoey was tuckered out by the end. She actually did pretty good on the car rides. She did have an ear infection in both ears the whole weekend so there were defiantly some rough times (like in the middle of the night) but overall it was a great weekend. I can't wait to see them all again.

Amy Came to Visit!!!!

Last weekend my sister Amy decided to make a last minute visit. We had a blast! Saturday night Amy and I went out to have a little sister fun bonding time. We went shopping, went out to eat and went to the movies. I haven't done so much at once in a long time! Well, we didn't have anything in particular we needed to shop for so we just looked around. We passed by Build a Bear and we decided to make Zoey a bear! Yeah, totally random I know! We got her a dog because she loves to make the dog sound. She sleeps with her every night and loves her!
She also loves the box the dog came in! Clay got these pictures of her the other day while I was at work. One night she was putting things in it and pushing it around. She's just too cute!
Oh, and don't tell Clay that I'm using unedited photos in a few of my posts! Sometimes I just can't wait till he edits them, they're just too cute!!!!

15 Months Old

Wow, time really does fly by. Zoey had her 15 month check up today. I'm glad we had the appointment scheduled today not only because I wanted to see how she was growing but also because the last few days I could tell she was getting yet another ear infection! So, since her last well check 3 months ago Zoey has actually LOST .5 oz. (22 8.5 lbs = 49%) Crazy hu! She is tall though (32 1/2 = 95%) and has a big head (19" = 96%)! She is absolutely the joy of my life! She is so fun (most of the time) and so cute!!! Oh, and yes, she does have another ear infection, I've lost count with how many I think we're up to 8 ear/sinus infections. So we're looking at our options to see what we want to do.

Here's a few pictures of Zoey to show how she's growing! (I had wanted to do a comparison photo post but I'm too tired to go through all the old photos and do that right now, maybe later)


Zoey is becoming a little girl more and more. She knows how to find her arms when you dress her, she puts her arms up when you undress her and she likes to try and dress herself. Oh, and she LOVES shoes, you can almost always find her trying on shoes. It doesn't matter if they're hers, moms or dads, she'll try them on!
We went for a walk this afternoon to check the mail. We took a little break at the apartment office porch. I love the pig tails! Thanks Amy for helping me figure out her hair is long enough (barley)!
This is my favorite today! Because she actually lost weight the Dr said to make sure to give her high calorie foods, he even suggested ice cream! So I got her a Sonic strawberry cream slush and put it in her cool little straw cup. She loved it

Well, I have some great short videos, I'll put them up after Clay does his thing to them! Enjoy -
