Are we in Indiana?

It sure didn't feel like January 10th in Indiana today.  It was sunny and close to 60 degrees!  When I got home from work, we took Zuri to the park to swing.  She enjoyed it!  I'm having issues with uploading on here so I'll try to add pictures first thing in the morning.

Jailbird

We made pizza last night and Zuri wanted some.  She made a mess and one of the cutest faces ever!

Tony, Anthony, Breeanna, and Paige came by today for a visit.  Here's a picture of Breeanna and Zuri.  :)

Brent captured this picture during Zuri's bath.  Cutest thing EVER!

Okay, so are you wondering about the title of this post?  Well, we put up a couple of gates today.  Zuri liked to crawl to them and pull up on them.  This made her look like she was in jail!  Here are a couple pics of her.

Let me out, mommy!

Pretty please!

10 months

I say it every month (okay, every day) --- I can't believe how fast Zuri is growing up.  She is 10 months old.  How in the world did that happen?  It literally seems like yesterday that we got our first look at our little peanut....

Here's her monthly picture.  :)

Happy New Year!

On NYE, Zuri decided she wanted to be like Pebbles so, of course, I let her.

Grandpa John offered to watch Zuri so Brent and I could go out.  We opted for an afternoon movie (The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo), dinner (BJs Brewhouse), and then we went to Shallos with Franco.  When I checked on Zuri about 8pm, my dad said she wasn't really sleeping well.  He called to see if he should get her out of bed and I could hear her screaming!  Brent and I came home and she was happy go lucky now that she was out of her bed.  I think she wanted to try to stay up to see the ball drop.  :o)  She went bed about 9pm.  Brent and I were in bed before midnight.  You might say we are losers, but we were glad to be in bed before midnight since Zuri decided to get up at 5am!  Here's a picture of Zuri trying to leave with Grandpa John (or should I say, Grandpa John trying to take Zuri!).

Here are a few pictures from New Year's Day.

Zuri and daddy were playing with daddy's hat.  She thought it was funny!

Here, let me get money for my piggy banks.

Forget the cash, let's go shopping mommy!

Today, we went shopping and then to lunch.  Zuri was very curious about the snow.  I didn't get a picture of that, but here's a picture of her from lunch.

We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year.  I don't know how 2012 can top 2011 since Zuri was born in 2011.  :)

Zuri's 1st Christmas

Zuri's first Christmas was absolutely wonderful.  She had so much fun opening gifts and playing with tissue paper.  :o)  We had some Christmas gatherings before Christmas day.  This post will focus on Christmas day only.

Here are pictures of what Santa left Zuri.

Zuri must have known it was Christmas because she woke up at 5:30 a.m. and was ready to go.

Zuri ate and then we went straight into opening gifts.  She did pretty well.  We had to help her open gifts, but she really did a good job of tearing the paper off herself.

Around 9:30, the Aunt Js (Junie and Julie) came over with gifts for Zuri.

While we were getting ready to go to my dad's, Zuri decided to give herself kisses.  Isn't this the cutest thing ever?!

We went to my dad's at 2:00 p.m.  Grandpa John made Zuri a bank.  He even put her name on it.  Here's a picture of her with it on Christmas day and then a picture from today so you can see it better.  She is excited to get that bank filled up!  :o)

Oh, and here's a picture with Aunt Brandii.  I love the face Brandii is making.  HA!

Zuri was so tired that this is what she did on the way home.

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  Brent and I sure did.  We got to spend it with the best gift ever.
