updated picts of Zo-Beanie!

I haven't been good at updating my blog...we moved to Utah, Zo is almost 7 months old, she crawls and laughs, and can't wait to see her cousins in July!!! (she had to learn how to crawl fast so she can keep up with Adam!) We went for a walk yesterday and took a few pictures of her...so here they are!

baby Zo talking

She is learning her voice...and she loves to hear it.

12 weeks goes by way too fast!

So I only have a couple more days home alone with little Zo-bean. Ok I have today and tomorrow. On Monday I go back to work. I am not looking forward to this in any way shape or form. I don't know if its lucky or not that Derrick's job ends tomorrow. He will be Mr. Mom and I'll be back at work. We really want to move up to Utah to be closer to my parents so my mom can help watch the baby while we work and go to school. Yet, we have not found any jobs up there. Application after application and nothing. It is very depressing! We won't move without a job up there because I have such a good job down here that paid 12 weeks maternity leave. We need our benefits (just in case) and well we need an income. I'm so thankful that Derrick will be watching her and I don't have to put her in daycare...I don't think that I could do it! (and I really think my mom would come down here and kidnap her before her first day of daycare anyway!) I have had such a good time being a mom- its hard work, but it is so rewarding watching her learn all her new tricks, like smiling, coo-ing, crossing her eyes, following us around. I just love it! I know everything will work out- its just hard to put everything on faith. I have faith and know that the lord is watching out for us because we are doing everything right. Its just a challenge not having a plan! I like to plan...and I can't. I shouldn't vent on here but I wanted to share that...and some cute picts of my baby!
