4 Months Ago Today....

Zoë is four months old today, and when Mike and I stop and think that we have an almost 2 and 1/2 year old and a four month old, we both look almost dumbstruck; as if we've missed the last 3 years of our lives and are just trying to catch up. How and when did all this happen?

It's been so amazing, wonderful, difficult, and tiring(lack of sleep is probably why we don't remember it all)..... but raising little ones and watching them grow and learn is something we are so grateful to be able to have the opportunity to do.

I can't help but always compare Zoë to Vince, in terms of how easy she was as a newborn compared to Vince (although Vince wasn't that bad either). It seems that she has been so much easier than Vince, but sometimes I'm not sure if it's because she's the second child. It's no doubt that she gets to sleep a lot easier than Vince did, and will sleep longer hours in a row (which is nice!). She's also much more of a little piggy than Vince was! She'll drink up milk in half the time it took Vince, he would be so difficult to feed and it took forever! In general she's a pretty laid back and chill little girl. It's so fun daydreaming about the things we'll do when she's older, the shopping we can do, the girlie things like getting our nails done and such (of course snowboarding with her has always been in there too). All these daydreams sort of caught me by surprise because I didn't even want a little girl at first!!

Here's our happy 4 month old


Here she is just minutes after the first photo... she's SO cute when she's falling asleep!
