15 months

This month I'm keeping it short and sweet. Zoe's biggest accomplishment during the past month is walking! She can't quite stand up on her own yet, but once she pulls up on something she is going, going, gone. She loves it. Its fun to watch the excitement and pride on her face as she gets better and better.
The other big news is that she is officially weaned. Yay. She's drinking vanilla almond milk 2x a day and while I know we'll try to transition to unflavored milk eventually, I'm fine with it for now. She doesn't drink that much of it anyways.
She's got a molar coming through up top and her bottom front teeth should be popping up any day now. Her sleep and attitude have taken a bit of a hit from teething, so I'll be glad {for all of us} when its over.
I'm sure there is more to tell but instead I will leave you with some recent pictures.






March Madness


Here it is the middle of April and the past month has once again flown by! March was a busy and unusual month in the Peck house. Geoff traveled for work every week in March which meant long days doing the solo-parent thing and quiet family weekends to reconnect. But, we made it through and that should be the end of work travel for awhile so we're all glad about that!
Here are some highlights from March:
Low-key weekends with lots of daddy play time
Zoe and I spent part of a week with my family in PA.
She enjoyed lots of love and attention from Grandma, Papi and Uncle Tyler

Geoff's brother Jordan came to visit for Easter weekend

We took advantage of the beautiful weather at Great Falls National Park

Zoe threw up Easter Sunday so she and I stayed home from church but we did manage to get a few family photos

Easter weekend was also the DC Kite Festival, so we made the trip downtown to enjoy the sights
Zoe did lots of walking that day and quickly crashed.
Tia didn't mind the snuggles:)
Well, that's our March in a nutshell. We're so glad to have daddy back with us. When 5pm rolled around each day and I remembered that daddy wasn't on his way home to take over for awhile... well, it made me extra thankful for all the days he does come home and gladly pitch-in. God was faithful in protecting us all while we were apart, giving me the endurance I needed to care for Zoe by myself, and sustained Geoff through many flights and days of meetings. He is so good.
