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.

Paris - Day Five: Louvre, More Gardens, Photobooths, Macaroons, Love

Today was scheduled to be a somewhat random day. We didn't have anything specific we were planning to do, meaning no pre-purchased tickets, but a number of stops to make and things to see. The first stop on our list for the day was a photobooth that was out near Moulin Rouge. It was in a giant, open gallery space where there were people dancing and vendors selling food. We found the booth and took a few pictures. Right near the booth there was an old trailer of some sort that was converted in to a little library. Since Zoe loves books, even if they're in a language she doesn't read, she went in and browsed the selection. She then said she'd like one of these for our house back home. We'll see what we can do. She didn't actually take the book with us, but she wanted to pose with it. At this point it was time to get something to eat, so we hopped on the Metro and took it to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the restaurant from the movie Amelie. The food was great, the...

Girls Night Out Dance

Zoe has her first dance at school, the Girls Night Out Dance, where she brought me as her date. It had been quite some time since I was at such a formal affair, but thankfully I was still able to squeeze in to my suit. Zoe looked as gorgeous as her mother with her fancy clothes, her makeup, and the big bow in her hair. We took a few pictures before we left for the dance, just to capture the moment. I drove us over to the school, and we arrived right on time, beating the crowd. A few of Zoe's friends were there, and before they turned the lights off, I took one, not-so-good, picture. It is nice to know that, as time goes by, some things never change. There was very little dancing for the two of us at the dance. She was very interested in the snacks (treats), the lights that were on the tables, but mostly in the pull up bar at the back of the gym. She spent a solid 15 minutes moving around gym mats so she could stand on them and hang from the bar. Other kids came and went,...

Big Girl Tubbie

This past weekend, Cheryl and I went away and left Zoe with Mimi and Joe Pop. Apparently everyone had a great time. We're super glad that Zoe got to spend so much time with her grandparents, we're incredibly thankful that they watched her for the long weekend, plus, we were just happy to get away by ourselves for the first time in 17 months. That being said, I have no pictures of Zoe from this past weekend (shame on you Mimi!) However, tonight Zoe took her first bath in the actual tub. Up until now, we have been bathing her in her little whale tub because, well, she still fit in it. I think she may like the big tub even better, but I'll let you decide that for yourself. There are a few more pictures, so be sure to check out Zoe's set on Flickr. I'm looking forward to more tubbing in the future. We'll see what the rest of the week has in store.
