Family Update

Life has been fantastic! It feels like we never left UT, that must mean it is home. I love being close to family again. Zoë is growing like a weed. Dr says that she is ahead developmentally. Though she only gained a pound in the last 2 months and an inch in height. She is rolling from her tummy to her back often and has even gone from back to tummy once. Her personality is starting to come out and she gets sweeter and sweeter. I am sure every mother says that, but Z really is a sweetheart. I love her more and more every day.

We are here!

We have been in UT now for almost 2 weeks, and it has been FANTASTIC!! It has been great seeing family again. Zoë was an awesome traveller, although we flew from Indianapolis while Ryan and his dad drove the 2 cars. We are almost settled into our living place, movers come tomorrow to help bring everything into the house. Ryan started his new job and so far really likes it. I will post pictures of Christmas in a little bit.

Moving!!

Ok so in the end we have come to realize that Maryland isn't the place for us. Ryan has gotten a job back in Salt Lake City. We are heading back there on the 18th. We are driving the whole way so we can get both cars and the dog out there. It has been a good experience to be out there. We have learned where we really want to be. Hopefully my sweet baby girl is easy to drive with.

Ryan's Trip to UT

Ryan went to UT over this last weekend for a job interview and to go skiing. The interview went really well, we are anxious to hear back from them.

Zoë's First Taste of Christmas

She was so cute in her snowman onesie that I decided that she needed a ride on Conan. He didn't want it at first but gave in.

Last Bit of Fall

So Zoë and I went out to have some fun in the leaves. We will try and get more when the sun is out better, cause these turned out really cute.

Zoë's First Thanksgiving

Here are a few pictures from Zoë's first Thanksgiving. We were unable to make it out to Indiana and instead spent it with the Strickland/Wallace family.

Charley meets Zoë for the first time. Z was the first baby that Charley had gotten to meet. Zoë's onesie says "I'm Stuffed"

Ryan participated in his first CrossFit Competition. It was a grueling weekend but we had fun.

Show-n-tell

Chelsea, my youngest sister, wanted to bring Zoë into her class to show her off.

Zoë Travels to Alaska

During the last week of October, Zoë and I travelled up to Alaska to visit my family. It was a fun trip! Here is Zoë meeting my mom and siblings for the first time. They all fell in love with her!

Zoë Update

Zoë's 3 week appointment = SUCCESS!! She is now 3.69 kg and 58.4 cm long. Above average on height and average on weight. She gained 0.26 kg and 7.62 cm!

We are off to Alaska tomorrow morning! Zoë gets to meet more grandparents and lots of Aunts and Uncles.

New Camera

We got a new camera and went to the park. Zoë was all tied up in the moby wrap but it was still fun.

Zoë Meets Granparents

Sorry I have been slacking at keeping this up, been a crazy couple of weeks. Here are some pictures from when Ryan's family came out to visit.

Zoë's First Week

It has been a wonderful first week. Nana has been here to help, and a HUGE help she has been. Sadly, she went home today. Zoë has been pretty much sleeping through the night since Tuesday night. Here are some pictures from the week.
