Zoey's New Obsession

Yep, Zoey has found Dora. We're not sure how this happens because we don't watch Dora much at our house and neither does the babysitter but somehow, Zoey has fallen in love with Dora.

She has Dora shoes that we got at a clothing swap that are her new favorite now. I caved and bought her a Dora book while we were shopping the other day. When I'm home she asks to watch Dora all the time. When an episode ends she throws a huge fuss and wants more. I have to distract her with her Dora book!!! We went shopping this afternoon and we were walking down the isles when all of a sudden she started pointing and saying "Dora, Dora" at first I couldn't figure out what she was pointing to but she saw a Dora bike helmet, you could hardly tell it was Dora on the helmet from where we were but she saw it and she wanted it! Luckily we got out today without anything Dora! Don't worry, we don't let her sit and watch Dora all day, we limit her Dora intake, but I still think it's cute that this is one of the first thing she has loved and attached too (I think she loves Dora even more then she ever did Jack's Big Music Show which has been her favorite since she was 9 months old).

Updates...and Christmas

Am I the only one already planning out my Christmas? I feel like I'm jumping over all the holidays but I can't wait for Christmas! I'm already almost done with my shopping and have a weekend coming up where I get to do all my craft projects for Christmas. I'm so excited!!!! Anyways, I know I should have been updating more but it's better late then never right? So here's a few pics of what we've been up to...


This is Zoey in the beanie hat Wade got Zoey from Brazil. She's really good at putting it on herself. We taught her how to say "Waz Up" when she puts it on. It's totally cute!



The weekend before General Conference I went down to Houston to visit family. While I was there I got to set up a few play dates for Zoey. We played with Cami and her daughter on day and then my Mia Maid YW leader Caroline and her son another day. This is the only picture I really got! We had a blast except when Zoey started to get rough with the other kids.

Daddy's getting even better with Zoey's hair. Here's one of our favorite styles, pig tails! Her hair's even long enough now to go in a pony tail, it's so totally cute!

I made homemade Oreo cookies last week. Zoey LOVES cookies and is always asking for one. She really enjoyed these cookie!

Zoey likes to color. When we were in Houston she found one of those boards that you color on and then it erases when you swipe the thingie at the bottom (I totally can't remember what they're called right now). Anyways, she carried it with her everywhere she went the whole weekend, so of course I had to go out and buy her one. It's one of her favorite toys right now! She goes around the house saying "color".
One of her favorite things to do while coloring is to trace her hand (or ours if she's in a good mood).

Well, that's what we've been up to besides work and more work! I have a lot of fun things planned for the next few weeks and hopefully I'll get some good pictures and actually blog them! Until later - Enjoy -
