Happy Anniversary and a Trip to the Zoo

I have no idea where the time went. Our anniversary was on May 25, but if you would have asked either of us, we would have told you that it felt like only a few months since our wedding. We enjoyed a wonderful evening out, stopping at some of our favorite places and celebrating with a bottle of champagne at the spot where we got engaged. By the time dinner was over, however, we were ready to get home to our little peanut.

(In honor of our anniversary, we post this photo from our wedding, taken seconds after Stacey's cousin Nick introduced us as "Matt and Shelly." Wrong cousin! With his nuptials just days away and Matt slated to be the emcee, here's a small warning to Nick to be ready for just about anything!) :-)

CeCe was just as eager as her mommy to eat the anniversary cake.

On Saturday the 24th we took Cecelia to the zoo for the first time. She was in desperate need of a nap and, therefore, fell asleep just a half hour into the visit. Most of the time she was more interested in the other kids than she was the animals. However, she did seem to like the aquarium quite a bit.

Elephants? Nah.

Fish? Heck yes!

Yesterday (the 29th) CeCe had her six month check-up. She's about 18 pounds now and in the 97th percentile for height, 75th for weight and 55th for head size. All in all, a very healthy girl! Given the fact that she now eats like a champ (three meals a day plus bottles), we expect she'll have no problem maintaining that pace.
