Smiles!

So the other day, we can say that Zoey officially smiled for us. Well, let me define "us"...she smiled for Mike...MIKE! Not Mom...DAD! But I am happy to say that Dad caught her first Smile. She did finally manage to smile for me today a couple of times....so her smiles are occurring more often now...so fun to see and watch!! We look forward to many more milestones being reached with her.

A little update on her...obviously she is starting to smile now. She is FINALLY sleeping a little better...we have gone to waking up to every 3-4 hours, rather than every 1 1/2 - 2 hours. She LOVES to be cuddled and knows the difference between being cuddled in her ''boppy" or swing...to being cuddled in Mom and Dad's arms.

Addison continues to love on her sister...she loves her to death and is the first to report to Mom and Dad when "Zoey sad" (in her words). She tries to comfort her when "Zoey sad" by giving her kisses or shoving the Pacy in her mouth. She has been a great Big Sister and continues to make us smile and laugh everyday. She is going to a Speech Pathologist this week to be evaluated on her speech....we arent too concerned that there is a problem...she has just been a little delayed on the Speech part. We shall see what they say tomorrow at our appointment.

Mike continues to stay busy with Clinical. But NO more classes! He officially becomes a senior in July. He is eager to end his time here doing Clincial in Jackson b/c he hasnt been to fond of the hospital here...although I am NOT looking forward to his next Clinical Rotation...b/c he is heading to Paducah Kentucky.

I continue to stay busy at home STILL trying to get on a routine with having 2 kids now...yeah, it aint happening and I have stopped expecting it to. We leave for Charleston in 3 weeks and are more then excited to go! We will be blessing Zoey in the Mount Pleasant Ward (where I grew up) b/c it worked out perfectly that all of us will be in town that week and Mike's family will be able to come as well.

And that about sums it up with our lives...not a whole lot going on...just trying to survive the summer heat with NO water around....its this time of year that I get really homesick for Charleston....but all is well.
