The 4th of July


So it was Zoe's first 4th of July. Aren't "firsts" so much fun? I have been enjoying them so much more than I ever thought I would. For this particular holiday, I decided to make her a monstrous red bow/headband. And I mean MONSTROUS. Check it out...










But aside from the bows, there are all those little "first" things in between that are so sweet. I love her funny face after she tastes something new. I loved her excitement over figuring out how to open the cabinet doors. I love how she can't quite figure out how it's her reflection she sees in the mirror. I love all of it. It's all fabulous and wonderful and going way too fast. I am trying so hard to soak up every moment with her... but somehow, it just doesn't seem enough. I wish life had a pause button sometimes. 

Anyway, back to the 4th. I was so excited for Zoe to experience her FIRST fireworks ever! But she never got to see them. She was too worn out from the days festivities, that she was out like a light before we even got out the door to see them. Ha! Go figure. Maybe next year she will decide to stay awake. 



Love you all.
Jennifer
