Happy Birthday Zoe!

Zoe is 8 today! We celebrated with Charity and Cole at Chuck E. Cheese's and lunch at McDonald's. Then Zoe and Charity went to the Seneca Swimming Pool. Zoe was able to hang out with her friends and swim and jump off the diving board. Charity jumped off the board too. It was so cute to see them together. They each cheered as the other jumped. When Charity jumped off Zoe would wait and pull her to the side.

Brad offered to take Zoe out to eat tonight but she said she would rather have B.L.T.s at home.

We celebrated a few days ago at Nana and Papa's house because Justin was in town. It was a last minute idea so we bought a cake at G&W. She blew out candles and unwrapped a gift.

She's been asking for a Bitty Baby for months. We really couldn't imagine her with a doll because she's never been interested before, but she never swayed and really wanted one. She knows Nana well enough to know if she wanted it she would get it.

They tried to trick her by giving her a dollar in a card. She opened the card and was disappointed but handled it well. Nana couldn't do it so she immediately told her that wasn't her real present. She, of course, got the Bitty Baby with some starter assessories. She named the baby Bella and is obssessed with it! She takes it everywhere and treats it like a real baby. Bella is on a schedule and Zoe reads to her 4 times a day. Frankly, we are a little sick of hearing about Bella! You know how new moms are with their babies!
