Easter
Zoe looked like a little lady on Easter with her pretty dress and hair curled. She loved to hunt the eggs and put them in her basket! I love the pictures that were taken towards the end of the day where she is being very "lady like" :)

Vacation
It may take me a while for me to get all the vacation pictures posted, but we're going to give it a shot :)
During Spring Break, we decided to take a vacation to Captiva Island, Florida. There were some good things and some bad things, but overall, we had a good time! Zoe was most excited to go on a "big airplane" than anything! She was wide awake when we got on our first flight and even let me take her picture with George on the plane. All the other rides after that, she pretty much slept the whole time. She only had one issue with her ears and that was when we were landing from Columbus into Austin, Texas. We finally got her to chew on a small piece of gum and it really helped! Now she is hooked on gum and is always telling me that she wants some. One day, she told me "Mom, me want to ride on big airplane and eat gum again".
We stayed on Captiva Island in a resort that was way too elaborate for our liking and we didn't really fit in with our Old Navy and Kohls clothes. We kept calling it a cruise on land because everything you wanted to buy, you put on your "card" and paid at the end. There were kids running around everywhere buying whatever they wanted! We went almost every night to Sanibel Island to eat and look around. We went to a nature reserve and also took a boat ride into a bay and saw two manatees.
Our room looked out over a Marina of million dollar boats, so Zoe was obsessed with going on a "big boat" - the boat tour was only on a pontoon, but she was happy with that! :)
The pools were really nice and also heated, so Zoe was a fish. Her swim lessons really paid off because she wasn't the least bit scared of getting into the water! The ocean temperature was only about 67 though, so we only put our feet in a few times. There were shells everywhere. Once Zoe figured out she had a pocket on her swimsuit coverup, she filled it up!
We had a good time, but are hoping that the doctor will let me travel sometime in June or July so we can actually get in the ocean somewhere :)
Here are a few pictures to start with. I still can't see the pictures that I'm posting, so it may be hard for me to comment about each of them.

It's been a while....
It's been a while, I know! I feel like the past few months have just been jam packed with busyness and I have'nt had a chance to breathe. Finally, today, we have done nothing (partly because Zoe and I both have colds), but it has been very nice to actually be bored!
Zoe took a tumbling class and a swim class at the YMCA. I wasn't able to go to her swim classes, other than one that I didn't take my camera to, but Ryan did get to come to some of the tumbling and take pictures. He was in charge of the camera, which is why you are mostly looking at the top of her head :)
She did an awesome job! We were so proud of how focused she was on everything and she tried so hard. The instructor said that Zoe was definitely built to be a gymnast and that she seemed to have a natural talent for it. Ryan and I have decided that if she has to do something girly, we could handle gymnastics. HAHA!
