5 weeks Old

Wednesday, October 7th little Zoey was 5 weeks old. It is all going by so fast, she is changing so much each and every week, so I will continue to update the blog weekly to share her journey with all of you!

This week was a big week for little Zoey. We had our first Mommy and Baby lunch. The ladies from small group came over and brought all of their little ones, along with lunch. It was a nice visit and so great to see everyone again.

Here is Meagan and little Clark, he was the quiet one, just taking it all in...

Here is Miss Amanda loving on little Zoey

Mary and Caleb joined us as well. Caleb is the mellow guy, just smiling at everyone, quite the little ham, especially with all the ladies...

Here is Rachel and Charlotte "Charlie". She is the aggresor of the bunch, don't let the dress fool you.

Shellie got a little lovey time with Miss Zoey as well, she even took a diaper change for Mommy!

Charlie was making her move, trying to plant a kiss on little Clark.

Ryleigh had just had her shots, but she still made it to the party...how cute is her little bow and dress :-)

So the ladies lunch was on Thursday and on Friday we had some more, very special visitors. Jay's parents (known as Nannie and Poppop to Zoey's cousins) are here for a little over a week. But they are already well on their way to spoiling their newest grandbaby!

So, it was Saturday and game day. Mommy worked hard to help daddy get the Computer all hooked up to the TV so that he could watch the game on ESPN360.com and see it on the big screen. Mommy even put little Zoey in her Hokies T-shirt from Aunt Lori and Uncle Jeremy. It was painful, but we thought we would give daddy's team a little support. So here Daddy is showing her off, her shirt says "They Raised me the Right Way" and it has a picture of a Hokie Bird...

Later that night we put her NC State Onesie on her to sleep in, but before Mommy could get a photo she went to sleep. Getting her to sleep at night is no easy task these days, so I didn't want to wake her with the flash. Then her dad strategically let her pee on the NCSU onesie when he was changing her over night before I could take a photo, but we will make up for it next weekend!! Here is a photo of my bright eyed girl when Pop Pop finally got a chance for some Zoey time.

Mommy had just gotten back from a belated Anniversary dinner with Daddy and was making up for lost time and loving on her little peanut!

I should also point out that I ran for the first time this week...which was no easy task after 6 weeks of bed rest and 4 weeks of restricted activity. But we did have some nice weather this weekend and I worked up to running 15-20 minutes at a shot. Baby steps I guess.
