Flight home.

Zoe - 11 months (8/9/13)

Zoe at 11 months!

At first, we seemed to be able to get some great shots with Aaron and Zoe.  Then Aaron decided Zoe needed to smile and that he would physically help her do it.  Luckily, she didn't seem to mind and as usual, thinks everything her big brother does is hilarious.

This is the first video taken capturing Zoe walking.  

Zoe - 10 months (7/9/13)

Here is Zoe at 10 months!  2 weeks after these pictures were taken, she took her first steps at Auntie Sandy's house in Chicago... in the absence of her father.  Both of these guys started walking when Daddy wasn't around!    

Happy 1st Birthday Zoe!!!

We will try to update with more pics soon, but since we are already a day late, just wanted to say Happy 1st birthday to my sweet baby girl!!!  Will follow up soon with 10, 11 and 12 month pics. :)  

Zoe - 9 months (6/9/13)

Zoe is 9 months!  She is a pro at crawling and standing on her own now.  She also has 6 full teeth and a couple more sprouting.  AND... she can say "mama".  Well, she may not be calling me "mama", but at least she is making the sounds and I love to hear her sweet little voice say it anyway!

 (obligatory shot with Aaron, unfortunately not many to choose from!)

Legofest with Daddy and Yeye

Aaron's dream come true...
