Oops
Oops! I realized I messed up! The images for day 117 and 118 were actually shot the same day. Curses! I will have to go back and fix it, forgive the confusion. It gets hard to keep up with sometimes since I don't post on the same days I shoot.

Zaida 365 - Day 112
Day One Hundred and Twelve - May 14th, 2011
In only a couple of days Zaida really chunked up. I believe she's about to hit a growth spurt. She's already growing so fast!

Zaida 365 - Day 111
Day One Hundred and Eleven - May 13th, 2011
One of those 'Oh, crap!' days where I forgot to take a photo until after 11 PM. I took one shot and hastily turned the light back off, because she was already starting to stir. I feel like I'm falling off on the photos. I need to step up my game.. but it's hard when I feel like I am just trying to make things work around here.

Zaida 365 - Day 109
Day One Hundred and Nine - May 11th, 2011
A very, very long day. My Mother was supposed to fly in originally at 2 something, and there were big storms coming in. I checked the flight info around 2:10, saw it was still coming at 2:45 and drove to the airport in scary weather, only to get a text right before I went in saying my Mother was in Tulsa. So we drove back home. My Mother didn't end up getting in until 8 something that evening!

Zaida 365 - Day 105
Day One Hundred and Five - May 7th, 2011
I am sure you'll be seeing a lot of diaper only shots over the summer. We've already had some scorching 90+ days.. Ugh!

Zaida 365 - Day 104
Day One Hundred and Four - May 6th, 2011
Hopefully the only photo that will ever show the pacifier. She only uses it to go to sleep, really, but I still hate it. I hope that once we master the sleeping issues the pacifier can disappear. It's one of those things that I never wanted to do, but I have to admit it's been helpful. That doesn't mean I have to like it, though.

Zaida 365 - Day 103
Day One Hundred and Three - May 5th, 2011
Being a smiley girl on the play gym mat. She managed to scoot herself into turning 90 degrees and almost off the mat. What am I going to do when she starts to crawl?

The first day of the rest of my life..
The first Mother's Day, that is.
You know, I had never really given Mother's Day all that much thought until it was getting close. Once it started to approach, I felt excited. Not because I expected, or desired, to get something, but because it just reminded me of my new role. I have been inducted to the Mommy club, and it's a membership that can never be revoked.
I really had a fantastic Mother's Day, thanks to my wonderful husband Brian. He planned the whole thing for me and I couldn't have asked for more. My Mother's day pampering actually started on Saturday with a much needed haircut. I hadn't had one since early December, and it had been a pretty lousy one. But this haircut was fabulous! Then on Sunday morning, we met up with Brian's family for a Mother's Day brunch. After eating, I headed out for more pampering, starting with getting my eyebrows (my caterpillars) threaded.
Yay, sexy hair and nice, clean eyebrows! I don't always look this angry, I promise.
Then I met up with my friend Svaya at the nail salon for a pedicure. I'm not going to lie; I woke up like a kid on Christmas, ready for my pedicure! I hadn't had one for at least a year (since before I found out I was pregnant). It was great catching up with Svaya while our toes got fabulous.
I went for a bright color instead of my normal black or purple.
After all my pampering it was time for the Mother's Day gift I was most excited for! I told Brian that I wanted some nice photos of Zaida and I together. I am always taking photos of her, but I had no nice photos of the two of us together. We headed off to a pretty park and had our little photo session.
Here are my favorite images, except for one, which I am withholding for the official 365 photo; so you will see it later!
I am so thankful to Brian for the great photos of me with our sweet baby. Hopefully he will oblige for a Daddy-Daughter session come Father's Day!
After our photos, we came home and put miss Z to bed, then we made some homemade pizza and had some wine. I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day!
Zaida 365 - Day 102
Day One Hundred and Two - May 4th, 2011
This is one I was going back and forth on as a photographer. Even though I know most of the shots I post aren't great quality, the color on this one was making me crazy. But I loved her outfit.

Zaida 365 - Day 101
Day One Hundred and One - May 3rd, 2011
Watching Daddy change her diaper. It's funny how I can love something on her (like her fat cheeks) that I've always hated about myself.
Holding my head above water
My apologies to all eight (including my husband) of the regular readers here.. The last day or two have had a serious lack of time and energy in regards to blogging. I will be writing soon - about my wonderful first Mother's Day and my review of our new cloth diapers! So stay tuned.. for now I'll get some cute photos of Zaida-bean up!

Zaida 365 - Day One Hundred
Day One Hundred - May 2nd, 2011
100 days? Already? She's growing so fast. Reaching out to play on a nearly record breakingly cold day. We were one degree from breaking the record low. Crazy stuff.

Zaida 365 - Day Ninety-Eight
Day Ninety-Eight - April 30th, 2011
The big smile is a bit misleading. It was actually kind of a long, tiring, sniffly kind of day. But this was right after a nap. With some super crazy hair.

Her eyes seem to know things already.

Zaida 365 - Day Ninety-Six
Day Ninety-Six - April 28th, 2011
The toy collection has already begun. Please don't think this is all of it; not even! Not to mention there isn't room for both Zaida and the 4 foot pink hippo in the pack n' play. :)

I was never a fan of roller coasters.
It's 5:30 PM and I've just put Zaida down for the fourth or fifth time to take a nap. We are both over tired, however, her mood seems to be standing up to it better than mine. I admit I have not started reading The No-Cry Sleep Solution...or I should say, I just now picked it up to begin. It starts off asking you a few questions, to all of which I responded with a resounding yes! Perhaps this will be the solution that we have been looking for.
Why didn't I pick it up a day or two ago? Because, of course, Zaida started getting a little better. Yesterday she took two, count 'em, two two hour naps. I was amazed. But then we come to today and it's almost a no-nap kind of day. Up and down, up and down. But I am now fully motivated to prop my eyes open and get through this book. I am eager to learn the secrets.
I had more I wanted to blabber on about but I'm far too tired at this point, so perhaps another day.
