Zoey's First Wedding!

Zoey Attends Her First Wedding!

Zoey and I had an awesome weekend!  We flew to Alexandria, Virginia to attend the wedding of her Auntie Rachel to Bob.

Everyone was so excited to finally meet Zoey, and we had a great time.  Zoey especially enjoyed running around and climbing up and down the stairs with her cousins.

Cousins Gabriel, Rachel, & Sammy

Zoey was pretty shy for the most part, but when the music kicks up ... she likes to cut a rug.

Everyone agrees; she looks like daddy.

Last night Shawn taught Zoey how to play with the Nerf N-Strike Maverick.  She thoroughly enjoyed plucking the suction cup darts from the oven and reloading the gun.

Zoey Knows English!

Zoey Knows English!

Zoey is making some exciting progress with the English language.  She is a good listener and puts down her toys when I ask as we're leaving the house.  She sits down and scoots when I ask her to because a step is too high for her to walk down from.  She has even voluntarily given up her pacifier whenever we come to take her out of her crib.  Zoey knows how to point to her nose or mouth when asked where they are.  Last week she said her first phrase: "I did it!"  She certainly has!

We finally upgraded her car seats to Graco's Nautilus.  We bought the first one at Buy Buy Baby with a 20% off coupon, and she loved it.  She very much enjoys being able to see Daddy as he chauffeurs her around.  I bought another one on Amazon for about the same price.  I assembled it while she was napping and left it in the foyer.  When she saw it later on, she insisted on sitting in it.

We look forward to more adventures!

Swimming!

After Malaya's baptism, Zoey got another chance to go swimming at her uncle Todd's pool.  Here she is with her cousins Lula and Tarin!

Hair?

I was working late tonight when Shawn called me.  "Did you do something to Zoey's hair?" he asks.  "No, why?" I respond.  This is what she looked like when he picked her up from daycare:

I think she looks like a Dr. Seuss character!

God Bless Malaya

God Bless Malaya

Zoey had a great time on Saturday.  We got to celebrate little Malaya's baptism at St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church and then hang out with family for lunch afterward.

And cousin Vivi is crawling now!!!

God Bless Zoey

Zoey Andrea Wingler

was baptized on June 19th, 2010

at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church

What a blessed and wonderful weekend!  Our baby girl was baptized in front of family and friends on Saturday.  She didn't quite enjoy getting water splashed on her, but she behaved very well for the most part.  

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so very special.  We love you all!
