Zoe Human, Ice Cream Princess

Inevitably, once people find out the gender of your baby, they have all sorts of name suggestions for you.  My personal favorites so far have come from my nephew, Thomas, and my niece, Keegan. 

Thomas, age 5, decided we should name our baby Zoe, since it's a great name.  I agree, but our friends recently named their dog Zoe, so I politely declined.  His response? "But you can STILL name the baby Zoe!  Just have her middle name be Human so that people will know the difference."  Ah, the logic of a 5 year old.

Keegan, age 5, simply said, "Ice Cream Princess".  Enough said, apparently.

Since the first "pic" in July, we've found out that little baby Masselink is of the female persuasion!  Hence the abundance of pink on the blog.  It took about an hour for the reality of it all to set in, but once it did, the first thing Momma did was buy a new pair of boots- like you do in these situations, right?  Here are the new kicks:

Next step- nursery.  Colors have been determined: blush pink, chocolate and cream. The Hubs has primed the walls and removed carpet- it's a blank palette just waiting to be designed. Pics in progress to follow...
