First Pictures

Zoe had her very first professional photos taken yesterday and it was so much fun! We dressed her up in her blessing dress and she was so adorable. I was scared that she wouldn't smile for the pictures but we lucked out and got a few pictures of our little one with a smile. She was such a sweet little girl. We get the pictures back 6/9 and I feel like I can't wait to see them. Luckily we can view them online and below are some of the cute pics. We also had a bit of a scary moment with my neice Pamela. She plays Doctor with her Mom and Dad and she got Zoes thermometer and was trying to take the baby's temp via the mouth. We were getting ready to go so we didn't notice it at first and when Cory saw this going on he got so scared! He kind of yelled at pammy and it scared her (not to mention freaking me and my sister out also). The baby is fine and Pammy isn't too scared of her Kunkle Cory even though he scared her. Enjoy the pics!

Zoe's blessing..and bye bye Bassie!

We had a really exciting weekend..Zoe was blessed on Sunday! It was a very special event and some of Cory's family came out from Cali. Cory's Mom, Dad, all of his Brother's, sister Tiffany, and brothers wife Betsy and kids all came out. Chad, Betsy, Corbin and Anjulee stayed with us for a couple nights and that was so much fun. Corbin is a bundle of energy and I don't think Cory's fish tank will ever be the same :) !!

I was so stressed out trying to get everything ready..my sister was moving into a new house which is awesome for her and Ryan not so awesome for me and Cory. See we were using Heathers washer and dryer (and those with kids know they make LOTS of laundry) and they took it back this weekend. So we were washer/dryer less for a whole Weekend!!! But in the end everything went off beautifully.

We had a great turn out for the blessing and we are so blessed with great friends and family! Cory gave Zoe a beautiful blessing and I got all emotional. I bore my testimony and I swear I could only get out a few words I was so teary! I am usually not emotional at all.. in fact Cory cried when the baby was born not me. But the blessing made me emotional! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate this special day!

Zoe is now 3 months old so we decided it was time to retire the bassinette and put her in her big crib. I was nervous last night that I wouldn't hear her cry in the other room so I slept bad last night. I'll try and calm down tonight. The baby did so good and she is so adorable in the big crib.

And...as a last note I start work tomorrow May 7 which is so sad to me. I am lucky though because I will be able to work from home and it's only 4 hours a day so it won't be too bad and the money will be so good. I don't like living off one income so this will be good.

I love this little outfit!

Super cute heart bum!

Much happier

So things have been so much better than the last time I blogged! Zoe has been a much happier baby (except when she gets stuck in her car seat). Things are going really well for us and we are extra excited because we will be blessing Zoe next Sunday! If anyone wants to come Sacrament starts at 12:50 (it's our last meeting). The address is 2080 East 5165 South, SLC 84117. The easiest way to get to the church is from I-15 take the 45th S. Exit and head East until you hit Highland Drive and you will turn right (At an Albertsons) You will follow Highland Drive past Cottonwood Mall (which is being renovated and is getting torn down) until you see Donalson Street which is on the left side of the street and our church is there. It should be a fun time!!

Here are a couple of adorable Zoe pictures for you to enjoy!

Zoe loves to sleep in Corys arms like this and it is so funny!

Cory calls this Zoe's "cowgirl" outfit.. so darn cute by the way the shoes aren't shoes they are actually socks that are meant to look like shoes. Cleaver people make the millions right!

First smile caught on film!!

Tough day

Today was a tough day with Zoe. I have been so frustrated with her pretty much all day. I think she is getting a cold and she is just so darn grumpy. She has basically cried ALL day and I just didn't think it would be this hard. I feel so frazzled...try and imagine me with all of my hair standing on end cause that's how I feel. How do the other parents handle the grumpy baby days. I swear I just want to stick her in her bassinet and let her cry until she sleeps. It's days like this when I really remember back to how nice it was to sleep a lot and go out and do whatever I wanted. I love my baby so much but today she is just making me crazy!

As a follow up to the cloth diapers thing I have decided to wait and let Heather try them!! I have heard some good things about them online but it seems that everyone I know who has seen them in action tells me to steer clear. So I'll stick with disposable...the whole cloth diaper world is a little confusing and intimidating anyway.

2 months!

Zoe is 2 months old now and it is crazy how fast the time has gone! She is so adorable and we are so happy that she is part of our family. She is getting so big! She is finally starting to grow which is exciting. She is now 22 inches long and she weighs 8 lbs 2 oz!!! Our 2 month old is still the size of a newborn (and still wearing newborn clothes) but she is finally on her way and growing like crazy. The Doctor (who I think is the best Doctor ever) says that her weight and head are in the 5th percentile (which means 95% of babies have bigger heads and weigh more) and her height is in the 25th percentile.

She is doing so well and the Doctor is really happy with her progress. She ended up getting a bunch of shots yesterday..5 in total and she also had an oral med to take. It was so sad watching her get the shots cause she's just so sweet and little! She ran a fever of 99.3 which was kinda scary because it was her first fever. But she seems to be doing much better now and she was even smiling at me and enjoying some of her toys today. She is working really hard at lifting up her little head so I thought I'd post some cute pictures of Zoe using her neck.

Cloth Diapers?!

So I am kind of thinking about using cloth diapers. Has anyone used them? Does anyone know anything about them. I have read a little (very little) about them and think it might be something to try. Because I don't know of anyone who has used them I feel afraid to try something new and scary. I don't want to be covered in pee or poops you know. Let me know if anyone knows about them cause I am curious!!

Easter FUN!!

Easter was so much fun with little Zoe! We went to my Parents house and had a family adventure with my sister and her family and my grandparents. We went picture CRAZY so I decided to post a few. Here is a little first Easter pic of our family together.

Zoe was so cute in this picutre that I just had to post it of her in her super cute Easter dress.

We took a bunch of pictures of Pammy and Zoe together and it turns out that getting a good picture of an infant and a toddler is a tricky situation! Either one of them or the other was moving in almost all the shots!

Cutests cousins!

My sister made the cutest easter cake with peeps on it and Pammy LOVED it!! She just started eating it off the plate and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen!
