Life's a Beach

There was water trouble down at the shore house this weekend, so Cheryl, Zoe and I spent a long weekend together. I had hoped to take lots of pictures and make multiple posts here, but obviously that did not happen. We did go up to the Oxford Valley Pool on Sunday, which was great, but I forgot to bring the camera. The only pictures I have are the ones stolen from Facebook.



We did manage to take come other pictures during the week and on the weekend. She is now an expert at holding her head up, even in her Bumbo chair. Zoe has also become fairly adept with her feet, using them to grasp at things.



The family also went to visit a new baby this weekend. On Saturday we went to see George John Miller IV born on July 20th weighing in at 8lbs 9ozs and measuring 20.5 inches long. He's sure to be one of Zoe's friends.



On Monday we were able to get a short video of Zoe rolling over from her back to her stomach all by herself. She seemed to get stuck at one point, but she pulled through in the end.



Later in the evening, just before bed, Zoe was in her swing. She must have been bored because she started talking to her mobile. She's has really found her voice.



It's amazing how much Zoe has grown over the past 4 months. Hopefully, as she gets older, she learns to like going out more and more.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Italy - Day 6 - Rome

Since this was our last full day in Rome, we decided to head towards Vatican City. After crossing a bridge, we made our way down the steps to follow the Tiber because Zoe wanted to explore closer to the water. Approaching the Vatican, we stopped just out of smoting range, for Cheryl's protection, before deciding that the view from the gates would suffice. From there we decided we would head out to try some very highly recommended pizza from Bonci. Zoe had to make a stop along the way for some gelato and a bathroom break, which was great because it took an hour to get our food. That being said, it was totally worth the wait! The pizza was amazing and the deep fried pasta balls were bizarre and delicious. While Cheryl was waiting, Zoe and I bought from fresh fruit and vegetables so that she would have something to eat. After a late lunch, we decided to make our way home. As we were about to cross the river, we passed Castle San Angelo and decided to make a stop. Thi...

Italy - Day 2 - Rome

Waking up in Rome to the sound of industrial work, we decided that today we would focus on Villa Borghese and all it has to offer, primarily a row boat rental. On the way there we passed by Piazza del Popolo where we took a few pictures. Zoe grabbed a phone and snapped a few for us, too! Once in the park we made a beeline for the boat rental. Along that line there were fountains and flowers we had never seen before, so we stopped for a quick look. My favorite is Zoe taking her own selfies. She makes such wonderful faces. Making our way through all of the distractions, we found the lake that surrounds the Temple of Asclepius and rented a boat. We all hopped in and I rowed us out into the water, but it wasn't long before Zoe insisted that she could paddle the boat, so we swapped spots and the cutest boat captain took over. Now this is very important because if you ask Zoe or Cheryl they're going to tell you a completely different story. At one point in our ...
