Zoe-bean is 7 months

Zoe turned 7 months on Nov. 3 (these pics were taken about a week early when we were still in MI and she had a little bit of a cold, but she was still a good sport). About a few days before her 7 months she took of crawling and hasn't stopped since. She now tries to climb up the stairs at G&G H's house and pulls herself up on everything. We want her to master crawling but thinking this one might walk before her brother did at 14 months. Gavin isn't so into it since she can get to his toys now - only going to get worse my little friend :)

She finally took to eating solids and now eats a couple ounces in the morning and about three ounces in the evening. She's testing out lots of different fruits and veggies so far and we get some pretty funny looks. She has no clue what to do with solid foods and just pushes it out of her mouth. She's still nursing well although tends to get distracted much more now. Her sleep was going downhill a bit before we left but was still not so bad. The last week has been rough. Wakes up 3-4 times a night. Not sure if it is all the time changes or teething or development - never really know. Trying to make it until we get back home when we can possibly do some sleep training and get her back on track.

Her personality is still the sweet, happy go lucky one we are used to from her. We are doing well so far without Daddy thanks to our helpers and looking forward to visit with some more family this week. Its been fun to see some family and friends so far! Stefan's one course down out of three and it sounds like it is going well.

Enjoy some more pics from our MI adventures.

Fall!

Arabian Nights costumes for Matt's Murder Mystery Party. It was a ton of fun! We were assigned roles - Caitlin was a snake charmer performer and also part of the Band of 40 Thieves, Norm was a spice trader and also a secret member of the Magi, and I was a market shopper but also the princess in disguise. None of us were the killer, so that's good ;)
