6 Months Ago Today

Zoe turned 6 months old today. Like I have said before, it is hard to believe that so much time has passed. As Cheryl and I have said to one another on many occasions, the time seems to have flown by, but it took forever. So after a visit from Uncle Joe this morning, the family went to meet Orly for lunch. While we were there, we took some pictures on Zoe's first half birthday. She seemed to enjoy herself.



For anyone who has seen Zoe with inanimate objects, she has a 2 phase plan for dealing with all of them. Phase 1 - Grab the object. Phase 2 - Pu that object in her mouth. Well, when the bread came, I took a roll and held it in my hand. She would only gently caress it let alone pick it up and put it in her mouth. So I set it on the table to see if there would be a different reaction, but I just got more of the same. Here she is, just hovering her hand over the roll.



After that, we made a trip to Gigi's to see Lilly. We arrived just in time to join them for her first walk. She is so little and precious.



When we finally got home we decided to take a quick walk to Clark Park. The day was beautiful and there was still some light left to get a few more pictures before Zoe's half birthday ended.



Overall, it was a fantastic day. Just like every other time, you can check out Zoe's set on Flickr to see all of these pictures, 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.
