Summer Baby

Zoe is definately a summer baby. She loves being outside, going for rides in her wagon, playing in the water, and we recently found out she's even a pretty good little boater!


I have lots of pictures I have been meaning to put up. Here's the short version of our summer so far:





enjoying mama's smoothie for breakfast


playing with the cat's toy (minus the catnip)


after a little nap on the way up north


peekaboo!


ready for some boating


and driving the boat!


of course she has to find the right music to blast





giving cousin max some pointers (she made sure to share the same advice with sam later on)


moving on from the kiddie pool


with Aunt Rachael


she made a new hobby of attempting to destroy the kitchen, so she earned her own cupboard full of fun stuff to play with


all this walking stuff came with some new bumps and bruises

11 Months!

Her picture from this month:



But our 'photo shoot' went a bit more like this:









A few more from the past couple weeks:

Binder Zoo

We've been in the process of switching computers around over here, so i have a ton of pictures that i have been wanting to put up, mostly from our trip to Binder Zoo in Battle Creek. We spent the day at the zoo, and then spent that night at Aunt Rachael's new place in Kalamazoo.

Ready to see some animals!






The bunnies were some of her favorites, she even waved at them and told them hi






We got to see some giraffes up really close.

I think this one liked Zoe.

And this one like Dave, who just fed him a treat. I tried to get a picture of that, but the giraffe didn't want to wait for me to get the camera out.

End of the day, and still ready to see more

Hangin out at Aunt Rachael's new place.

Checking out the local wildlife

Time for bed!

Cruising around the place the next day before we left for home
