flying time...

Zoey,

10 months ago today you looked like this:



and you spent your days sleeping in the arms of mommy or daddy, eating with mommy, and looking around at everything in the hospital room.

Today, you look like this:




and you spend your days climbing up and down the stairs, taking a few steps all by yourself, opening every cupboard in the house, laughing at Elmo, dancing to any and all music, playing with your toys, rushing to the door when you hear daddy, and - if I am lucky - snuggling in my arms for a few brief moments.

I thought time moved fast before you came to our family, but now it truly slips away from us, and - no matter how hard I try - I can't grasp it.

Happy 10-month Birthday, Little One.

Love, Mommy

Zoey looks aorable as always. She is growing up too fast. We cannot wait to see her in a couple days. We will be there, hopefully, by thursday night.

Carson says, " I want Zoey at our house right now!!!"

Time does fly and it never slows down.

You know- she looks different than she did 4 weeks ago. Her face seems more little girl/toddlerish and less round babyish.
