Say Cheese :)
Lately I have really been trying to get some pics of Zoe smiling. It is pretty hard, it is like she knows and won't do it when I have a camera near by. Here is the closest I have got, plus a few other cute faces she pulls.

A Day of First's
Sunday was my first mother's day, my first run after having Zoe, and her first month birthday.
My first mother's day was great. For the first part of the morning, all 3 of us just hung out being lazy in bed. I was lucky enough to get Tyler to stay home from turkey hunting, and spend the day with us. He hung out with Zoe, so I could go on a run. I have been feeling really good, and thought I would just go for an easy jog. I will be honest, my body did feel a bit weird. My core felt very loose, I guess is the only word I can think of to explain it. You other mothers out there can probably relate to the feeling. It did feel really good though. I was only able to run up to 28 wks while pregnant, so it had been a while. Running for me is not just exercise, it the best way I can relieve stress, it is very therapeutic, so I was very anxious to get going again.
Tyler made us breakfast later that morning, and then watched Zoe again in the afternoon while I took a nap. We then spent the evening with other great mothers, my mother-in-law Diane, Grandma Bell on Tyler's side, Tyler's aunt Josie, and sister-in-law Emily. My mom and dad were in Phoenix, we had a little celebration for her on Friday before they left.
Sunday Zoe also turned 1 month old, and I can't even believe it! She has already changed so much, and time has just flown by. I can't believe how amazing it is to be a mom, nothing like I ever imaged. I have even more respect for moms now that I am one. It is hard, but the most rewarding thing ever. I truly know the feeling of unconditional love. I have loved watching Tyler turn into a dad. He comes home from work, and all he wants to do is hold and hang out with his girl. I am so lucky and feel so blessed to have this girl in my life, and can't imagine it without her.

I love watching her sleep. She has so many expressions, and noises it just melts my heart! I love that she sleeps just like me, all spread out, and arms up. I love her so much!

Daddy Daughter Date!
Tyler and Zoe had their first night home alone the other night. I had a reception to go to, and then dinner with Shan and Alli before Shan left to Cali again for the summer. I left him with a bottle and all instructions, I was only going to be gone for a few hours so he wouldn't have to do much. Well not too long after I left, she must have known her dad was watching her, because she totally exploded in her pants! Really wanting to test her dad. Of course I have all her clothes organized in size and what not, but Tyler doesn't know this, and I didn't think to leave out a change of clothes. So he went to her closet and grabbed something he thought was cute. This is what he chose. It's about 3 sizes too big, but she still looked cute in it! Tyler is such a good dad, I have loved watching him with her, and he has been so helpful to me. She loves her dad so much, and I am sure they both will be looking forward to their next date!
