I CAN'T BELIEVE ZOEY IS 6 MONTHS OLD ALREADY. THIS YEAR IS FLYING BY. IF ONLY WE COULD GET SPRING TO ARRIVE AND STAY AROUND. ZOEY HAD HER 6 MONTH CHECK UP 2 WEEKS AGO. SHE IS 13.4#, AND 25 INCHES LONG. SHE IS A LITTLE PEANUT. SHE IS ONLY IN THE 5TH PERCENTILE FOR HER HEIGHT AND WEIGHT. BUT SHE IS GROWING LIKE SHE SHOULD. THE DOCTOR SAYS SHE IS LEARNING VERY FAST AND EXPECTS HER TO BE WALKING BY THE NEXT VISIT. SHE CAN'T QUITE CRAWL YET, BUT SHE HAS GOTTEN TO HER KNEES A FEW TIMES. SHE DOESN'T SEEM VERY INTERESTED IN IT YET. WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS TO DO IS STAND. SHE CAN PULL HERSELF UP FROM A SITTING POSITION TO HER FEET. SHE USES ME, OR ANY TOYS SHE CAN GET A HOLD OF. I HAVE A FEELING SHE IS GOING TO BE MOBILE SOON. SHE IS EATING SO GOOD. I THINK HER FAVORITE FOODS ARE SQUASH AND BANANAS.

FOR ALL OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW, STUART AND I HAD TO MAKE A VERY HARD DECISION A FEW WEEKS AGO. WE HAD TO EUTHANIZE OUR DOG THUNDER. HE WAS SUFFERING FROM BONE CANCER AND THERE WASN'T ANY MORE WE COULD DO. WE GAVE HIM AN EXTRA 4 MONTHS OF LIFE SINCE HE WAS DIAGNOSED IN DECEMBER. HE WILL BE MISSED GREATLY. STUART AND I HAVE HAD HIM FOR 7 YEARS. NOW HIS LITTLE BROTHER PEPSI HAS SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL, AND HAS ALREADY STEPPED IN.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT EASTER SEEING OUR FAMILES, AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT GET TOGETHER. I HOPE IT WILL BE SOON, AS MICHELLE IS DUE NEXT WEEK WITH HER LITTLE ONE. ZOEY WILL SOON HAVE ANOTHER COUSIN. SHE CAN'T WAIT. (REALLY I CAN'T WAIT TO BE AN AUNT AGAIN!!) THIS WEEKEND WOULD BE GOOD MICHELLE. :)
