Reason 151 Why I Love Being A Mom: First Time SItting In A Shopping Cart

Zoey finally got to sit in a shopping cart a few weeks ago. She loved it! Gave her a better look at everything. She especially loves it in her monkey hat with everyone walking by oogling over her :o) She even started helping pick things out!

Reason 270 Why I Love Being A Mom: Wallet Pro

The way she holds that wallet looks like she's a little too comfortable handling it.

It reminds me of a Jeff Dunham skit and how Zoey probably will be at that age :oP Well the end part, hopefully not the beginning. (And sorry about the poor quality video i linked to, only one that  just has that skit and not more or less) :o)

Reason 265 Why I Love Being A Mom: Climbing Beginnings

Not even a week into crawling and she decided she was bored with that and moving on to attempting to climb all over everything she can so she can get a better reach for things she knows she's not allowed to have :oP This is going to be so much fun! :oP She's like a cat, if she's quiet after being noisy I know she's gotten into something! hehe, too precious <3

Reason 22 Why I Love Being A Mom: Aspiring Drummer?

 

Zoey is at that amazing stage where she has figured out crawling and now climbing up on things to explore whatever she can. Well she found the rockband drumsticks! She banged them on things a bit until she finally decided tasting it would be the best way to figure out what it was. Anyway I took some images of her exploring them and banging them a bit :o)

Reason 300 Why I Love Being A Mom: Pictures in the Park

This past weekend we hit up Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Zoey got to experience the joys that this kind of park can evoke. Okay, well she's probably too young for that but we had an amazing time taking pictures to store the memories for her further down the road. She was an amazing sport in spite of not getting her morning and afternoon nap; well she fell asleep right as we turned on the road to the gardens.

When I edited this picture and saw the final result it reminded me of some shots I took with the iPhone app Hipstamatic (which is something I've tried to emulate!). I love the contrast of hard, sharp metal with the soft, squishiness of a sweet, little baby :o)

This glass bridge was beautiful so paired with my angel it's perfection :o)

*knock, knock*

Now this was an interesting sculpture. I really liked the juxtaposition of the metal, unnatural trees against the background of colorful, real trees.

They had two of these frames around the park (this was the area that reminded me of a park my mom took us to in Germany: Luisenpark in Mannheim). In order to muster out a smile from my exhausted little baby I had to bust out the Elmo. Well he was the perfect addition to our pictures :o)

Gimme!

Yaiyee!!

My Elmo

Reason 180 Why I Love Being A Mom: Daddy Tickles

One thing Zoey loves is her daddy and the kisses and tickles he has to give her. And that means I get to see those beautiful smiles that always make my day complete. The hat also helps :oP
