Zeda and all her sasssss

I usually just post pictures of my precious little girl smiling or doing something sweet. However, I do want you all to know, it's not always roses in our house. She hit the twos and she hit them hard. Granted, she's still a pretty good, easy going child but sometimes if you say the wrong word or look at her the wrong way...you're going to get it.
I wanted to take a few pictures of this pretty little outfit she got for Christmas so I promised her once she took a few "good" pictures she could go play at the park. As SOON as we stepped out of the car she started yelling at the wind and crying. She doesn't like the wind, what girl does but she wasn't even trying. I put her back in the car, said we were going home because she wasn't calming down and that she could not play. Tears turned off immediately, she said, "I will smile, mommy" and off we went. Now, the wind really was ridiculous that day but we were still able to get a few pictures.

Look at that sad face, it's so rough to be Zeda. 

 Here is the start to the smiles.  The comment, "The longer you don't smile, the longer we are out here" really seems to work.

 And now we are playing peek a boo...oh the little things

Our little Mister

I've been pretty bad with the belly pics this time around and really I have no creative way to show the weeks. Oh well, I'm not worried about it. This is good enough.

Yes, I showed super early and yes let's pray I continue to slow down like I have in the last couple of weeks.

My goal is somewhere in the 8lb range for the little guys, can we do it? Not that I have much control over his birth weight but I can tell myself that anyways.

8 Weeks

15 Weeks

17 Weeks

20 Weeks

24 Weeks

26 Weeks

Zeda: two and a half

Over Thanksgiving weekend we went to see Meg's baptism.  While we were at the beautiful church on SLU's campus we got some pretty cute pictures of Z.  She was a bit excited.

                   

Christmas Craziness

I realize Christmas was almost a month ago but things haven't slowed down much around here.  So, better late then never.  I give you our Christmas craziness.  

 

Santa with all three kiddos...it went better then I expected.

Zeda ready to go see a Christmas Branson show with my parents.

Starting on Friday, December 23-Monday, December 26 we were on the go.  Let's be honest, Christmas really wears me out and Zeda too.  The last two years she has gotten sick the week after Christmas.  You'd think a good mom would see this and make a few changes.  Yeah, let's see how Christmas goes next year.

My dad gave my grandma some moonshine in a mason jar for Christmas.  She was a bit too excited to take it to her friends while they play cards.

Silly little girls

The Murdaugh family Christmas

Shaun and Karly, Jarrod's brother and his soon to be wife.

Never ending episode of unwrapping gifts.

Jarrod's dad always does some fun wrapping for Sherri, which I think is super cute.

Jarrod's other brother, Cameron.  He's boring, he already knows everything he gets before he opens them.

At the extended family shindig, Zeda couldn't keep her hands off Meg.
