Baby Girls and Bows

So Aunt Mandy has been after me to put a bow in my little girls hair. "She needs a bow in hair."

Well, she has a bow, now what? Will you stay in Tallahassee and not leave us?

Goodbye Aunt Mandy

My friend Amanda from work has decided to leave us for South Florida. Amanda is one of the most awesome people I know and has been a great shoulder for me to lean on in the last few months.

Tonight was her going away party for Homes.com at Ray's Steel City Saloon. Emily (Wendy's daughter) really wanted to hold Zoe, but as you can see Zoe proved to be a little too much to hold on to.

Zoe did great and fell asleep at the party. She was the center of attention the whole time that she was there (which she just adores).

Night Night Sweetheart

Zoe has a really good nightime routine. She is afraid of the dark so my mother got her a seahorse that plays music and the tummy lights up. She knows that bedtime is coming when the seahorse comes out.

6:00 PM - Mommy and Zoe arrive home after a long day away
6:30 PM - Mommy goes in the kitchen to cook dinner, Zoe goes in the high
chair and Daddy gives her cereal
7:00 PM - Zoe sits in the bouncy chair while Mommy and Daddy eat
7:30 PM - Bathtime!
7:50 PM - Nursing and a Book (Daddy leaves for work)
8:00 PM - Sound asleep

I lay her in the playpen in the living room and do chores or crochet until 11:00 PM. Then she wakes up and I take her into bed with me. She sleeps with me until Thomas comes home from work and then I get up (she is usually still asleep) and take my shower and do what I have to (pack the diaper bag, wash bottles, get the wipes and a clean diaper ready, pick out her outfit, etc., etc.) in the morning before I wake her up.
