Just being Cute

So I'm sure most of you know this, but life has really changed for the Weneck crew lately. I'm away from the house on average about 8 hours a day, so we've had to prioritize what gets done everyday. So to say the least, I've decided to try to blog when I can, but that I promise to have at least one blog a week. School will not control everything, hehehe.

These are just a couple of cute pictures I think we took last week. Zoe is wearing Todd's Royals hat and just walking around.

Speaking of walking around, that is all Zoe wants to do. She holds your little fingers and walks all over the place. She is getting so big. Tonight, she pulled herself up all by herself. It was exciting but made me realize we are entering into a whole new "game."

Man Cave to Toy Cave

The basement has slowly but surely turned into Zoe's play area. Last weekend or maybe even two weekends ago, we got her a toy bin to keep all of her toys in. I think Zoe has really loved it as well because she can sit and have a couple tubs with her and pull out whatever she wants.

She's a Maniac, Maniac on the Floor

After naps yesterday, I was feeling a little goofy and thought Zoe needed to try out her leg warmers. When she put them on, I thought to finish off the somewhat 80's outfit, she needed her big bow. They are actually really cute pictures:

Thanks Auntie Jocelyn for the great present!

Start of School

School started last Monday so Zoe has been doing a little more play time by her self when I'm home. She does this very well even though half the time she does kind of end up on the floor on her side.

While I'm away, luckily we have found this amazing helper. Joanie joined our family in October and has been an amazing addition. She does just beautifully with Zoe and Zoe absolutely loves her. On Wednesday I came home to Joanie and Zoe listening to French music! hehe!!! I really have no idea what I would do without her. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Purple Saturday

Yesterday Zoe decided to wear her new purple outfit that she got from Mimi for Christmas. I thought she made a wise choice and to reinforce her decision, I thought it might be fun to have a purple dinner. She had BEETS!!!! and she devoured them. I have to admit, we did get a little nervous they were going to stain her face, but they didn't.

She now officially likes: green peas, sweet potatoes, BEETS, carrots and banana's. I made a couple new things yesterday that we will be introducing over the next couple of days. I'll let you know how that goes.

My family might be the only one that gets this, but for Sir: "Beet, Beet, Sugar, Beet, Beet!!!"

7 Months old

Well, 2 days ago Zoe turned 7 months old. I think I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that one. These last 7 months have just flown by, but have been so amazing at the same time. Let's see, Zoe is sitting on her own, she is getting up once during the night to eat, she sings with you when she hears music, and she's just had a lot of firsts in the last month. Anyways, Todd and I think she is an amazing kid and have had so much fun with her.
These two pictures of her are from yesterday of her eating her homemade green peas which she continues to love:


And yes, her hair is just as crazy as it's always been!!!

Homemade is better

I don't have any pictures, but I just wanted to share with everyone this pleasing moment. When we were in Fayetteville, Zoe tried Gerber's green peas and instantly made a horrific face. Since we've been home, I've been trying out a couple of recipes of my own so that we can save money and so I can feel like I'm contributing to our child's brain development....Anyways, I made my own green peas today and fed her some and it was almost like she said, "yum" after she ate them. It was a very proud moment for myself!!!

Hope everyone is well and that they have a wonderful New Year!!!!
