7 MONTHS OLD

Zora continues to grow and change each day. We wanted to share some pictures and a video of some of the random things she's up to lately.

Check out Batman's Blog!

So we've created a few new blogs. I think someone has too much time on her hands. Check out the link to Batman's Blog underneath Randomness on the side of this blog if you're familiar with our hamster.

Zora is Halfway to her Birthday!

Zora has been busy growing. On our move from Missouri to California, we stopped in Idaho for a few days to visit family. Zora played with several of her cousins. A few days after arriving in California, she began sitting without support. And on April 9th, she turned 6 monts old. She's growing up too fast, but getting cuter everyday!

John's Happy, Happy, Birthday!

It's a little late, but here's the pictures from John's birthday on March 12th. He said it was a good day, and enjoyed spending time with his daughter.

Update

So sorry if some of you are wondering why you haven't heard from us for a while. We moved from Missouri to California 3 weeks ago and we were without internet for much of that time. Our move was pretty crazy but we survived. We packed our van and car full of all that it could carry and drove across 7 states. We had some complications with the tarp over the van, a bit of snowy/windy weather, and one flat tire, but we made it all the way. Zora was such a sweet heart for having to sit in a car seat for 10 plus hours a day. When we arrived in California we were a little frazzled to hear that our apartment was only one bedroom, because the complex was out of two bedrooms. So we moved into the cramped space and then when a two bedroom opened up last weekend, we moved again. For that reason, it's been hard to update my blog, but we are finally pretty much settled now, so I can focus on more important things like Zora.

Zora's First Food

March 7, we attempted to give Zora her first solid food, liquidy rice cereal. Here's how it went:

AFTER

Busy, Busy, Busy!

PACKING UP !-The time has come for us to move again which is not our favorite thing to do. It doesn't get any easier, when your baby wants all your attention. John didn't have work on Thursday so he helped out a lot with Zora. He realized that Zora is more work than he thought. Here's some pictures to show how packing's going!

CIRCUS-To get a break from packing, we took Zora to the Circus (on March 5) which was in town for the week. Zora was sky high, but the loud noises kept scaring her. We saw some crazy acrobatics, tigers, amazing elephant stunts, clowns, and 7, yes that's right, 7 motorcyclists in the giant sphere of death. Here's some pictures of our adventures.
