This is my first granddaughter/fourth grandchild. She is Zoe Violet ; age 1. Zoe was born one month after Mama passed away. Her parents (Paul, my second born, and Beki) knew she was going to be a girl, so they named her as soon as they knew the sex. They called and said, "Her name is Zoe Violet, after Grandma". I couldn't WAIT to drive to my parent's house to let them know. Mama was kinda confused - because she thought that meant the baby was already born and kept asking why they didn't bring her for them to see. I tried my best to tell her that the baby was still growing in Beki's tummy, but would come when the weather got nice. Well, Mama passed in April and a month later, on May 22, 2007, Zoe Violet was born. (The name Zoe means "Life".) And, my sister said, "April showers bring May flowers". How true that was. She is certainly a little bit of heaven to us here below. Zoe is one-half Korean. What a beautiful baby she is. She had such sticky-uppy hair for months and months. There was nothing to do that would tame it. Finally, her mama was able to put these tiny little pigtails in the top of it - and tiny they were, but they were real!!! Zoe got the best of both worlds, I guess. She has my son's BIG eyes and LONG eyelashes (Asians do not have hardly any eyelashes at all...) and she got the beautiful brown color of her mama's eyes along with the Korean "slant". We all LOVE that! If you want to see Zoe start "hamming it up" get a camera out. She loves to have her picture taken. Beki told me one day that she feels like they have a celebrity baby because everywhere they go, people stop them to talk and talk to her. She is VERY SOCIAL!!! She is so precious to me. The first and only time my Father met her was on Father's Day, 2007. He, then passed away in July 2007, but was SO proud to be able to see and hold a little baby girl that bore the name of his late wife - for whom he was grieving immensely. She is sugar and spice and everything nice - that is for sure. Zoe is getting ready to become a big sister. In late August 2008, she will get a little sister named Piper Marie. I wait with anticipation!
