Baby Stellan..

is not doing well. Not at ALL.

I know I owe you all some good things about Zoe (and there are a LOT).

Right now, he needs all the love, good thoughts, prayers, whatever you do.

From what I've read on this woman's Twitter feed and her blog, it's getting really bad.

Random Zoe Pictures...

hanging with her Uncle John...she was smitten, and just followed him everywhere!

"Heeeey, leave me alone!"

Rocking her babies at the same time...

sharing her tool bench with Uncle John...

He really enjoyed it! ;)

Sitting like a big girl on the couch...with her trusty Wally.

Making sure Daddy's shoes work so he can wear them..

"See, Daddy? They fit JUST fine!"

Tired Zoe after a fun day running around at Cousin Jacob's birthday party!

"Hanging with Baby, Momma, leave me alone!"

"Now, baby, you sit HERE!"

So, THIS is why we have children??? To clean?!? :) She loves to help me out. I let her clean with a baby wipe. She goes to TOWN and actually did a nice job on that section of the coffee table!

Doesn't she look like a big girl laying on her bear like that?? She has one of my headbands on...She's becoming much more tolerant of hair things in...maybe we'll start being able to pull her hair back (it IS getting long and we don't want to get it cut).

See how pretty it is pulled back in two pigtails?

Relaxing on that bottom step...Monkey makes a good pillow, and Mammie (lambie) is a good buddy to hang with these days! I feel like I need to be feeding her grapes here!

I think she's sleeping ON Mammie here..."I think I'm just going to rest a bit, Momma"

Photoshoot!

I can't decide my favorite!! Someone I went to high school with, Phil, is now a professional photographer, trying to build up his portfolio. On Facebook, he had asked if people were interested in a photoshoot to get some pictures and in exchange for the use of those pics in his portfolio. We got together on Friday, and had a great time, despite the heat! If you're living in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to use Phil...we'd use him again! Go HERE where you can check out his stuff. Zoe's pictures aren't up yet, but you can get to see some of his other GREAT stuff.

Happy birthday, Cousin Jacob!

Yep, he is ONE YEAR OLD. We had a small get together on Sunday the 12th with his grandparents from IL (parents, and grandparents C), and then a bigger get together today with his other grandmother, aunt, and some friends....LOTS of fun with a water table, walking, cake, and push toys meant for a tired Z today. As soon as some pictures get forwarded, I can post them, but I made the mistake of NOT bringing my camera! Whoops!!

Walking...

4th of July Kids' Parade...

Zoe in the parade...Lil T is next to her!

Here we are passing the cottage!

The beginning of the parade....the leader of the pack.

Getting everyone set up to go!

Getting ready...

Pictures are in reverse order again...forgive me. Zoe took part in her first 4th of July Kids' Parade at the Campground on Martha's Vineyard with her cousin Lil T. She had a ball!

Pictures!!!!!!!!!

Pretty girl!!

Mooore, Mommy!!!

BUBBLES!!!!

Trying to escape (we put the porch love-seat in front of the entrance...the gate wasn't wide enough!)

Supervising the toy pick up (Zoe found it great fun to chuck them off the porch)

Strutting it in the road...

Great-grama's cottage...what fun we had!

Because EVERYone waters their rug, right?

Look how long her hair is!!

I'm COMING for more!!

The girl who hates to have water dumped on her in the tub kept BEGGING Grampa C to pour it on her here.

Oohhhhh....SOOO fun!!

Strutting her stuff on the catwalk, er, porch.

Uh, no pictures please..I'm busy.

Oohhh...there's WATER.

So, um, Daddy...what do you do with this??

She's dancing, believe it or not. Look at how she's dressed....hard to believe it's JULY.

She wouldn't let go of it!

Playing with the balloon she got from Black Dog.

These pictures are in reverse order....it's a feature in Blogger I wish they'd fix. But it's a pain to fix, so just scroll back. :)

And, I'm not sorry in the least for the picture overload. ;)
