First Swim Lesson

Zoe had her first swim lesson this past Saturday at the YMCA close to our house. She was cautious at first but definitely warmed up to the whole swimming thing by the end of the lesson. I wish I could have caught her face either with our camera or the video recorder when the instructor pushed her under water for the first time. She didn't cry one bit but she was totally shocked at what had just happened, she was a little trooper. We preceded to do this another couple of times but by the third time she was done!!! Her lessons are every Saturday from now until May 15th. I love that this is something her Daddy and I both get to experience with her.

Zoe's First Braves Game

We did it folks, we took the plunge, took a chance and took baby girl to her first Braves game....on opening day.....against the Chicago Cubs, could we have picked a more packed and sold out game than that? Have we completely lost our minds? Maybe but guess what, baby girl did Awesome!! She even fell asleep around the 5th inning...I mean come on, who falls asleep at a Braves game, especially when they were winning 12-3 at that time.....Zoe could!!! We had a great time. We even got down to the stadium at 1:30, the game didn't start until 4. We found a good shady part, had lots of snacks/water/milk for baby girl and just tailgated for a bit. We expected to stay maybe 3-4 innings tops, we made it until the 8th inning and we could have stayed the whole game but wanted to beat the traffic. Here are some pictures of Zoe in her pigtails and pink Braves shirt and also some pictures of her friend Malena who obviously wasn't feeling the Braves game that day! So cute!!

Love this little girl to pieces. She is my whole world and I am so glad to be her Mommy.








Here are a few more Easter pictures.

Zoe's Second Easter

Little late but here goes.
We started off Easter weekend by Nana and Paw Paw giving Zoe an Easter basket full of goodies on Friday night. She really liked her bubbles the most...go figure!!! Saturday morning we took her to Bryan's parents church for their Easter Egg hunt. She was so precious! This is the first year we've gotten to watch her hunt on her own, she is growing up so fast.
After the Church egg hunt we went to Bryan's grandmothers house for lunch. Zoe loves, loves, loves her Great Grandmother but most of all Bryan's cousin Amy. Zoe has always loved Amy since she was itty bitty. Amy has always been able to make Zoe laugh, so cute.
Saturday night we went to visit some of our friends and their baby, Turner (he just turned 1). Him and Zoe played with a little house for a bit but for the most part, they were just checking each other out....don't you get any ideas Mr. Turner...Zoe isn't dating until she is 30! Ha ha
We had dinner with Bryan's parents Saturday night and then Bryan and I slipped away for a couple of hours to visit some of our other friends. It was nice to get away for a bit even if it was only for a couple of hours.
Sunday was spent at church with all of Bryan's family minus his sister whom is in Tampa FL. We had a very special and blessed day celebrating Easter with family and we really enjoyed the Easter service at church as well. I am warning you, picture overload is about to take place. Love this little girl to pieces.

I'll be back shortly

I have taken a mini vacation from blogging but I hope this weekend to get all the photos from our New Orleans trip, Easter and Zoe's first Atlanta Braves game downloaded. Lots to blog about. Look for a long post and picture overload this weekend sometime.
