We're enjoying summer and growing everyday. Trying to help mommy sew.

Today we're going to our church picnic at a local park so that should be fun. Hard to believe we'll be 8 months old tomorrow.

I'll get some new posts put on this weekend for those of you checking the blog.

Swimming again...

Sometimes you get pictures that are just priceless. We upgraded and went to a bigger pool this time. She loved it. Chilling out like a queen. haha

We love our sleep...

I don't normally write alot on here, but wanted to pass this info along to those of you who check out the blog frequently...

Before Zoe was born, I read a book called On Becoming Babywise. Which taught us how to train Zoe to learn to sleep through the night, put herself to sleep and keep her on a flexible, parent-directed schedule - explaining how in turn we would produce a happy, contented baby. It made sense to me, so we implented the principles of babywise starting when she was about one week old. It worked! She has slept through the night since 7 weeks and slept 12 hour nights since 10 weeks old. There's no rocking her to sleep and sneaking out of the room or anything like that. We just lay her in her crib - she smiles - grabs her blanket and goes to sleep whether it's naptime or night-nights for the night. I write all of this to pass the info along - so many people tell us how "lucky" we are to have such a "good baby", but really it's been doing our homework and training her. Anyone can have the same results. Go ahead give it a try! The book was the best baby gift I received from a good friend. Other great training resources we are studying and using are at http://www.nogreaterjoy.org/.
