Quick update...

Zoey and I are sick today so I thought I'd make good use of my lazy day and fill you in on what has been going on as of late...

Zoey is officially eating baby food now! I can't believe she is growing up so fast, but I guess is was bound to happen. So far she loves carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. I learned the hard way that she is not a big fan of green beans...she spit a mouthful at me and it all ended up in my hair and down my shirt. Every time i put food in my mouth now she will open up her mouth really wide and stick out her tongue with hope that I will give her my food. Just keep dreaming Zoey!

Besides eating baby food Zoey is now crawling. CRAWLING. She has decided that following Coco around the house is her favorite game. she crawls up to Coco, grabs her paw, and tries to eat it. This leads to Coco kissing her to make her stop and Zoey sticking out her tongue to kiss Coco back. Gross Zoey! I'll post some videos of her crawling once we are all healthy and up to the task.

Zoey is up from her nap so I guess I'll post more some other time.

Family walk behind our apartment

This afternoon Zoey, Coco, and I decided to go for a walk around our complex and explore our new home. I thought I'd bring along the camera so you all can see where we are living for the next couple of months. Here are the the results of the photo session. Enjoy!

What should I do with this book?

I know...EAT IT!

My townhouse is the one on far left.

Lots of shells.

There are a ton of these trees out here and the flowers smell AMAZING!

Coco couldn't decide if she should get in the water. She did.

Adventures in Mississippi...so far

As I sit here and write this post I have Zoey trying to play with the laptop. She is curious about EVERYTHING now and tries to grab (and eat) anything she can get her little hands on. So Far we are enjoying it out here on our own. It has been really nice to see Billy for a little bit each day and have Zoey get to know her awesome daddy. The two of them have really seemed to hit it off! She has daddy wrapped around her little finger and she adores and can't get enough of him. Coco has been very happy to see Billy as well. With him around she actually gets to go on walks and have some extra attention. Although it is lonely here most days it is all worth it when we drive to the base and see Billy each night.

The place we are renting in Ocean Springs is nicer than I had expected it to be. Here is the lovely view from our back porch:

It really nice to be doing dishes and see that out the window. I hate the bugs out here, but I do love the view!

Zoey and I have been trying to keep busy so that the days aren't too boring. So far we have taken Coco on walks, played around in downtown Ocean Springs, gone to the Special Olympics and done LOTS of swimming.

I have been trying not to be too stressed out taking care of everything by myself and I think I'm doing a pretty good job. I am starting to make friends and I think that soon I will have lots more things to keep me busy.

Zoey is getting fussy so I guess that is my cue to say Goodbye. Until next time!
