Hello everyone! Hope all is well....

Zoe and I are doing good...trying to get adjusted to the new puppy! For those of you who didnt know, I got Zoe a mini weenie dog. Her name is Sadie Belle Moyer. She is adorable. Zoe likes her (most of the time). She's learning to say "down".  Sadie loves Zoe. She likes to jump on her and give her kisses.

Not much new going on. Getting ready for Halloween and trick-or-treating. I think Justin will be staying that Friday so we can take her together. We'll be sure to get some good pics. Her costume is really cute. She's a flower fairy--it's lavendar and green; has little wings on the back and booties and a head piece that looks like the top of a flower.

She also has an ear check-up on the 27th. I'm sure everything will be fine as always. Her reagular pediatrician usually checks her ears everytime we go to him.

One last thing; the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo is in town this week. I'll be taking Zoe Sat. She'll LOVE that! Lots of rides and animals. That's her kind of place! LOL. Talk to everyone soon!

Well, I was wrong about Zoe's 18 month check-up..she didn't have to have shots this time! Yeah. Dr Mac said she had gotten all she needed at 15 months. She will have her flu shot next month and no more shots until 2 yrs. Her check up went well. Everything looked good. She weighed 22 lbs. 2 oz. and was 31 in long.

On another note....I have to tell you guys something funny. Well it's really not a funny thing, but how it happened was.  Zoe has been coughing like crazy for 2 weeks now. Not really sick, but runny nose, etc. Well, we were at Chedder's tonight eating dinner and she seemed really sleepy. She hadn't eaten much lunch and she wasn't eating her dinner either. So I picked her up and let her lay on my chest; she layed there for about 5 min and then all of a sudden she started projectile vomiting all over me; it wouldn't stop... poor baby. I felt so sorry for her. It was also the most disgusting thing ever...has anyone ever been vomited on? Smells lovely!!  Anyhow, she was fine as soon as she stopped. We went to the bathroom and cleaned her up and then came home..

Hey everyone! Sorry so long since a journal entry was written (I'm not Stephanie)...LOL

Hope all is well. We are great. Zoe is wonderful. She's growing like crazy, as you can see from the pics. She's learned to throw fits---I mean throwing herself in the floor, screaming, kicking and slapping you away...Justin got a taste of it this past weekend.

We are still loving our new house. Sorry no pics yet...I lost my camara and recently found it. I will post some this weekend--promise.. She has another new home to get used to now. CONGRATS JUSTIN!!! Hopefully the weather this weekend won't do any damage....

We go today for Zoe's 18 mo check-up. She has been a little under the weather the past couple of weeks. Very congested and coughing like crazy--I'm gonna see if Dr. Mac will get her something for that. Other than that - she is great! I will post an update of height/weight after this appt. See you guys soon and everyone take care.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't written anything in awhile. Zoe and I have been super busy lately. As most of you know, I recently bought a house of our own. It's about 10-15 min. away from my mom's---where we'd been living since Zoe was born. This was a huge change for her, however she's adapted well, as always. It took some time but she's doing great! We've been in the house for a month now. I'll take some pics and post them as soon as I get the last couple of things I want for the house and get a couple more things hung on the walls.

Another new change. I've had Zoe on the waiting list at Kidz Turn, a daycare that's part of a church almost right across the street from my work. Not to mention it's only like 2 min. away from our new home. Very convenient!! Anyhow, they called about 2 wks ago and said they had a spot for her...I put in 2 wks notice at her old daycare and her first day at the new one is tomorrow. I took the day off Friday and we had a fun day; just she and I. We went to visit her new school so she could see it and meet the teachers and kids. She did really well. The kids just flocked to her and she played and fit right in. We stayed for about an hour and a half. I'm glad I decided to do that ~ at least now she won't feel like I'm leavin her somewhere she's never even seen before.

So many new things going on these days...I'm sorry I missed all of you at Moyer Madness. I heard you guys had a blast though! Great job on the T-shits!! And Justin, if you're reading this... HURRY UP AND POST THOSE PICS FROM THE WEDDING!!!!  

Today was Zoe's 15 month well baby check-up. Everything looked great the doc said. She is growing just like she should. Still little for her age, but he said she's gone from the 5th percentile in weight to the 19th. WOW! She's gained a whole pound since her MiMi took her to the doctor Friday before last.. That's great.

Her ears/tubes looked good. She also had to have 4 different shots. Poor baby! She was very brave though. She even got a sticker when we were done. We go back for 18 month check in August (I'll be sure to schedule that one where Justin can take her). Hopefuly no shots then...

We dedicated Zoe to the Lord on May 11th, 2008 (Mother's Day) --- what a great mother's day gift! It was an awesome day. We had it done at Covenant Family Church in College Station, where I used to be a member and Dana still is. Not to mention it was halfway between Waco & Houston..how convenient. We met that morning at 10:30 to get Zoe dressed in her beautiful dress that had little crosses all over it. Then we took a few pictures and the service started at 11:00am. 

They called all the parents and children that were being dedicated up on stage and we went down the line and introduced ourselves and our kiddos. (Justin, being the wimp that he is, made me do the introducing).  Once service was over we all went to Olive Garden and had lunch. We had a pretty good turn-out: me, Justin, Zoe, my sister, mom and Nana, Dana, Yvette, her friend, Heath & Melissa, Steve & Tamara. Justin bought my lunch for Mothers Day, and even got me a nice card that sings. It was very sweet! Awww... Then we went outside and took some family pics and made the long journey home.

Zoe finally had her first major boo-boo. She fell at daycare today while playing in the play room. There was this big metal/steel thing in there that holds a bunch of the kids toys. She apparently fell and hit her forehead on the bottom part. There is a huge gash right above her eyebrow...It is actually pretty deep and about as long in length as her eyebrow. Poor baby.

The director of the daycare called me about 3:30pm and told me what had happened. Said she was very brave and only cried for like 30 seconds.. I picked her up and we went to the ER and saw the doc. She said Zoe definitely needed stitches; that the glue adhesive whatever wouldn't hold it. Too deep. Especially where those eyebrow muscles move all the time.

They wrapped her up in a blanket like a little burrito and one nurse held her head still while I held her body still  and the nurse gave her a shot right in the gash!!! OMG. Justin would've fainted right there.... hahaha. Once the shot kicked in, she started stitching away. She ended up getting 5 stitches total. She cried the entire time, but once we were done and unwrapped her she was ok. She even played in the car on the way home. I'm giving her Tylenol every 6 hrs and we have to put triple antibiotic ointment on the cut 2x a day. We go back in 5-7 days to get stitches out.

I just pray it wont leave a bad scar on her precious little face, or mess up the way her eyebrow grows. Either way, we were very blessed that it was above her eyebrow and not IN her eye. Thank God.

We went for her routine check-up last Thursday. Everything was great. She hadn't been feeling well and her ear was clogged and infected again. At the check-up they looked in her ear again and the drops worked...her ear was clear! She had also had a really high fever and then she got a rash all over... couldn't figure out what that was from.. roseola - if it's not one thing, it's another! Her rash is gone now too though.

She is feeling excellent this week. Her whole attitude and mood is so much more like herself again. Thank goodness. We're transitioning from the bottle to her sippy cup (for good) and I'm trying to get her off her pow-pow (pacifier) unless it's nighttime... that's not as easy as the sippy cup transition...

She also got her 1 year shots. She was super brave! It's so sad to have to hold her down while they stick those needles in her leg. It's heartbreaking... We have to go back in 3 months for the remainder of those shots.  

I've finally posted the Easter pics and a couple random pics from this month! Enjoy!
