January Fun 1/11-1/22

We are back! Sorry it has been a while since our last update. We have been busy here at the Zimmerman household. Tom and I took a trip to Vegas and left Summer with her Mom-Mom and Pops. I survived and even had a good time! I also captured some of Summer's firsts. Happy Viewing!

"Mm" day at Mommy and Me. It's Summer with Maggie the Monkey!

Here Summer is starting to climb the stairs in the bonus room. They are a little smaller then normal stairs.

Climbing up....

Getting there.....

She did it!

So proud!!

We had beautiful weather last Friday! Summer got to try the swing and

see a lot of her friends. So much fun!

Summer likes Daisy (and sometimes Alexander's) bed. She was pretty proud to have crawled in it.

Vegas baby! Tom and I stayed at Caesars Palace. Tom had a convention to go to and I got to tag along. I had to make a quick decision to go and I am glad I did.

I really missed Summer but I did well and I know she had the best time with her grandparents.

Tom and I up top on the Eiffel Tower.

Another night in front of the Eiffel Tower at the Bellagio.

Here are some pictures of Summer's vacation with Mom-Mom and Pops.
Mom-Mom is feeding Summer some dinner.

Aunt Lis giving Summer a bottle.

Having fun with Pops!

Driving around Mom-Mom and Pops' house.

I was unpacking my suitcase and Summer decided to play in the clothes as I made a laundry pile.

Summer loves books. Here is Emmy reading one to her.

Walking (small steps, not far) around pushing her baby in her stroller.

Tom and I got Summer a Goddess Crown from Caesars Palace for one of her gifts. She really didn't know what to think of it.

Take this off of me! :)

As close as we could get it! I am sure you will see it in a future photo shoot!

New Year's Eve-Jan 10th

Happy New Year!

2010

I am finally caught up! Here's pictures from New Year's Eve through January 10th. YAY!

Summer is now 8 months old (1/1/10) and is 27" tall (up 1/2 inch from last month) and is 18lbs 13 oz (up over a pound from last month). She continues to grow and change all the time. She is such a joy in our life and we know we will love seeing her change even more in 2010.

Hope 2010 is treating you well so far!

Love, The Zimmerman's

Tom and I spent New Year's Eve with Josh and Debbie at the Melting Pot. Yummy!

Summer spent New Year's Eve with Grandpa Max and Grandma Susie and in her crib fast asleep!

On New Year's Day my friend, Melanie, and I ran our first 5K. As you learned from Daisy's Christmas letter I am training (with Mel and some other fun ladies) for a 1/2 marathon in March.

It felt so good to do the 5K. I am so proud of us!

Melanie's father in law told her that what you do on New Year's Day is what you will do for the year. If that's true we sure had a good start!

Summer is 8 months old!

It's getting harder and harder to get the monthly bunny picture!

Maybe sitting with the bunny is the way to go!

All of Summer's friends are starting to turn 1!

Here's Sophie with her Mom Amy.

Happy Birthday Sophie!

Summer slept through the party.

Summer is always so fascinated with the scale as I get ready in the morning. This time I grabbed the camera and got her weight.

18.8 lbs!

All Smiles! :)

Summer is trying to climb the stairs. She has mastered the bonus room steps, which are a little shorter. Can someone say baby gates?

This is Emmy. I watch her a couple days a week after school. Emmy loves to help with Summer and Summer just adores Emmy. Here Emmy is feeding Summer sweet potatoes. Summer just happily sat there and let Emmy feed her. So sweet!

Here are Emmy and Summer in the "Snow Storm" that the kids got out 2 1/2 days for. It was pretty icy and if you watched the news at all I am sure you saw Atlanta on it for all the ice related car crashes. I have to admit the roads really weren't all that great. They just don't treat them like they do in MD and the temperature has been below freezing for a while now.

Happy First Birthday Addison! Another friend of Summer's turns 1! Time is flying! I can remember when the Mommies were all pregnant together.

Summer loved playing with Addison's toys.

Daddy and Summer

The girls are playing together!

Mommy and Summer

Right before I got this picture Alexander had been sniffing Summer's hand. They are both quite fascinated with each other!
