11 Months

Check out my babies! Here they are at 11 months. They look like they could be twins..separated by 2 years. :)
Zoey is sporting 3 more teeth. She now has 3 up top and 2 on the bottom. I see several more up top about to come in. Teething is so much fun. :P She is learning so many new things. She loves to play peek a boo with her blanket, she dances a lot and loves to mimic us. My favorite thing is that she has picked up that Byron and Caleb love to try to scare each other when one of them comes home. Now Zoey will roar like a lion, much like Caleb scaring Daddy. So cute! She also loves to say "Ooo" and "Shhh". You don't realize how much you say something til your baby mimics you.

She is just so darned cute! I always have a hard time deciding which pics to include. I love them all!
My girlfriend got Caleb a toy shaving kit. Can you tell he loves it? He likes to shave every day now. I enjoy him so much. He is maturing so nicely. He is better able to reason with you (thank God!) and his communication skills never cease to amaze me. He continues to dance at any given moment, which I adore and usually encourage. :) He's grown quite tall. I'm curious to see what percentile he's in at his next dr appt (his 3 year well check). My baby boy will be turning 3 next week. I'm so excited for his birthday party. It'll be the first time he has friends from school coming, instead of just the family. He LOVES birthday's-especially singing Happy Birthday and blowing out the candles. I'm looking forward to watching him in all his adorable glory!


This is Zoey's first trip to the beach. With 2 little ones, I have to have backup with me so I don't get to go as much as I would like. Luckily, Caleb has now developed a healthy fear of the water. Last year he would just keep on walking-no matter that waves were covering him. Now he enjoys playing in the sand, looking for shells, and jumping the waves with me.

Zoey loved the beach. She found the sand especially tasty!


This is a pic of Caleb I took of him at the same beach (Honeymoon Island) around 9 months old.

And here is Zoey at 11 months.

My busy boy doesn't sit still. He looks like such a big boy here.

Mom, Zoey and I took a trip to Shreveport, LA to visit with our dear friends. Teresa and I have been friends since we were about 3 or 4 in Indiana. Our families have remained very close all these years. I feel so blessed to have such a great friend. Here is Zoey, me, mom, Mary, Tina, and Teresa.


Isabel is Teresa's little girl. Can't believe she's already 7!! Zoey adored her.



Here is Isabel and Anna Kate (Tina's daughter) with Zoey.





Zoey was a trooper on this trip. First plane ride-she was wonderful!


Mary got Zoey these adorable jammies. Love the blue tutu!
We had a wonderful visit and cannot wait to go back!

Here is Cameron the day he left for Brazil with his friend, Brian. He's having a blast, enjoying the culture. I'm afraid he's not going to want to come back! He's been there for about 3 weeks and has one more week to go. We sure have missed him, but what an amazing experience!


Our big girl is closer and closer to walking. She cruises around everywhere. She loves to "walk" with us holding on to her fingers. She's even gotten bold enough to do it one handed. Wonder if she'll walk before she turns one. She has already gotten so much busier. She use to be the "easy" one and Caleb the busy one. Not so much anymore!

With all this teething, we've been eating lots of popsicles.


Another trip to the zoo! The kids and I went with a friend of mine and her little girls. Fun to do for a few hours. Caleb loves feeding the giraffes.


Cameron is growing so much. Won't be long til he catches up with B!

The kids love to go to open gym time at gymnastics. I just signed Caleb up for gymnastics at our local community center. He starts in 2 weeks. I can't wait!


Zoey's first boyfriend, Finn. They are so much fun to watch.

Byron enjoyed having all the kids together for Father's Day. We had a nice bbq at my sister's condo on Clearwater Beach.

My dad enjoys time with his girl.

We've got quite a handsome brood.



Two big birthday's coming up-Caleb turns 3 then Zoey turns ! Can't wait to share those pics!
