Dear Zoey Bean

I saw a commercial last week that inspired me. It was for email, but I can't remember which one (yahoo, gmail, etc.) and it was showing a Dad sending all these emails to his newborn son. One of my coworkers (and she's a close friend, too) had asked me when I was pregnant if I was writing things down, or writing Zoey letters. I scoffed at her, thinking, "yea, I'm working 40+ hours a week, we're trying to sell our house, I'm pregnant, so I go to bed at 7:30pm...when am I supposed to find time to do this??" So I never did, unfortunately.

But when I saw this commercial, and everything was being sent by email, I knew that I could do that. I'm on email all the time, and typing is so quick. So even though she's 5 months old already, starting late is better than never starting. I thought it would be the neatest thing to give her the username and password to the email account I've created for these emails I'm sending when she's 18 or so. Maybe she won't think so, but it will be something she can treasure forever once she is old enough to appreciate them.




Happy 5 Months Baby Girl!

I can't believe how fast you are growing. You so badly want to crawl, but you just can't figure out that you need your hands and feet to do it - you think it's all in your tummy! You sure do make us laugh when you try though! We love watching you grow and can't wait for the next few months when all the exciting holidays are coming up! It's going to be our best Christmas yet!

5 things about you at 5 months:

  1. You absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your jumperoo. You jump like a maniac when we put you in there and we're kind of afraid you're going to break one or several of your toes one of these days since you don't jump flat on your feet - you use your tippy toes.
  2. You so badly want to be friends with our dog, Bailey, but he's not so sure he wants to return the gesture...
  3. You love your daddy and smile anytime he talks to you or walks in the room.
  4. You are still too nosy to take good naps during the day, but you're a decent sleeper at night.
  5. You love to eat!!

Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!

Zoey's Nana and Pop Pop Hoffman went to Las Vegas a few weeks ago to visit their close friends, Bonnie and Rich Hartline. Before Zoey was born, Bonnie and Rich sent her a onesie that had the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign on it, but underneath it, it said "baby". She didn't fit into the onesie until right before they left for Vegas, so I decided to take some silly pictures for them to take with them, since Bonnie and Rich never got to see Zoey in person.



Happy Halloween!

Zoey didn't do much trick-or-treating this year, but we did take her to a few of our family's houses so they could see her all dressed up as Tinkerbell. She was out cold in her carseat by the third house. Halloween was not for her!
