Girls Lunch!

Zuri and I had lunch with Rachael, Alana, Krista, and Halle today.  It was a great time!

Zuri wasn't thrilled with my holding another baby so I held them both!


Brent, Zuri, and I went to Gallaghers II to use our Groupon.  We decided to try out a booster seat and Zuri did really well with it.  She is growing up way too fast!

Where does time go?

My friend, Jodie, had her little boy, Lucas, today.  Brent and I visited tonight and held him.  He is so precious and so little!  I remember when Zuri was first born and how little she seemed.  I miss it!!  I also miss being pregnant (call me crazy).  Zuri is growing up way too fast.  Everyone told me that would happen, but you don't truly understand until it happens.  I treasure each and every day with Zuri, but I really miss when she was first born and all she wanted/needed was mommy or daddy.  She still loves us and needs us, of course, but she is becoming Little Miss Independent!  She does not want to be held.  She wants to crawl around and play with things she isn't supposed to.  She is eating anything and everything (besides the no-no foods like PB, honey, shellfish).  She has 6 teeth.  She probably needs her bangs trimmed, but I refuse!  She can work my iPhone better than some grown adults.  She will be walking before her birthday, I'm just sure of it.  She is just becoming such a big girl.  I wish I could bottle up those first few months of her life and relive them whenever I want! 

Everyone has asked us if we are going to have another baby.  The answer is no.  Maybe if we had more money and a bigger house.  The reality is that we don't.  We want to give Zuri everything she deserves and bringing another baby into this world would not allow us to do that.  We don't want to "jip" Zuri or any other baby if we were to have one.  I know, I know.....lots of people have more than 1 child that are not rich or are crammed for space, but that is just something we don't want to do.  So, I shall live vicariously through friends.  Shawn and Mandy, it's about time for you to have one, right?!

Since I know you want to see Princess Zuri, here's a picture from this morning!  She is the cutest thing ever and I do not want her to grow up A.N.Y.M.O.R.E!!!

Time flies when you're having fun

Zuri had a very busy day today.  After waking up at 3am (from a nightmare, we supposed), she slept until about 7:30.  She thought she would try on daddy's shirt.  Cute, right?


She had company in the morning --- all the way from Alabama!  Aunt Tina and Uncle Ed came by for a visit as did the Aunt Js.  :)


By time they left, it was time to leave for chili with Joe, Rhonda, and the kids.  Daddy's been talking non stop about Joe's chili!!  Beth was kind enough to bring some books and read to Zuri.

Zuri decided she was over the Pebbles look so she took her hair down.  Joe and Brent agreed she had a Flock of Seagulls look going on (just like daddy back in the day).

After hanging out with them, we went to dinner with some family.  We got home just in time to give Zuri and bath and put her to bed!
