Well, it is official.

Levi and Christi are going to have another baby.

I think they are crazy and they know I think they are so if they read this it will not be anything I haven't said to their faces.

But, what do I know?

It was planned.

Zoe-Beth, what we call her most of the time or Stinker Bell, is going to be a big sister while she is still in diapers. Oh, well. It is what it is. They are hoping for a boy this time and Emily has declared that is what it is.

Zoe-Beth, what a girl. She is her Daddy all over again. God help them. She is not a year old yet (next month believe it or not) and she is head strong, opinionated and absolutely full of herself. She is saying lots of words... Daddy, daddy, mommy, doggy, HI, and of course lots of just noises that mean nothing to us but she seems quiet sure that we should understand.
She is a good eater. I've found very few things she doesn't like except mashed potatoes... who doesn't like mashed potatoes?? She eats two of those little Gerber packages at dinner time, she likes most veggies and loves fruit. I feed her bananas, yogurt, graham crackers, noodles, beans, anything soft that I am eating. She has four teeth, two bottom, two top.

If she is hungry you will know it, she gets very verbal (and grumpy). If you do something she doesn't like she will definitely let you know about it. She really gives Christi hell if she isn't getting what she wants and Levi has had to swat her little bottom a few times for not just disobeying a "no-no" but disobeying and looking him right in the eye and growling at him.

I have to really fight to keep from laughing and on the inside I am thinking....

PAYBACK

I am planning a birthday party for her at our house and of course her other Mimi is having one for their family. I bought the cutest personalized paper plates from Hallmark, they are Tinker Bell plates with a picture of Tink looking at a picture of Zoe. It is adorable, Zoe's eyes look just like Tink's, big and round and blue. I am going to order a Tinker Bell sheet cake and I will make cupcakes so she can have her own. I am giving her things that she can keep for a lifetime and pass on or sell when she is older, a proof set of the coins minted the year she was born and a silver walking eagle one dollar coin plus of course a toy or two.

As you can tell I have fallen into the typical goofy Grandma mode and am head-over-heels in love with the little toot.
