Video Time

I apologize to those of you who read this on a regular basis because I have been seriously slacking in my blog posting duties. Hopefully I'll get on track and have more regular updates, but enough about me and my inability to update.

You may not know this, but Zoe has been rapidly developing. With the use of her stroller, she walks really well, she is climbing onto everything and she is talking up a storm. I have been trying to capture Zoe in action a little more, so here are some of the tidbits I caught recently. First up, Zoe was a little gassy at dinner. She wouldn't perform for the camera, but she did talk to her mom about it.


We tried to put her down for a nap the other day, and she just wasn't having it. You'd think that we put catnip in her monkey.


Even in Clark Park, with the chilly March winds blowing, Zoe is happy to push her baby around for some fresh air. She made need to take a break, but she really loves to move.


One thing Zoe's Mimi started with her was asking her, "How big is Zoe?" and then raising her arms in the air and replying, "So big!" This has continued and now when we say it, Zoe will throw her own hands in the air, even when she's standing.


As I mentioned, she's a born climber. I swear the kid is part mountain goat. She tries to get up on everything, even when you tell her not to. She's lucky she's so darn cute.


One of the more "interesting" behaviors she's developed is the desire to drink from her bathtub. I'm glad that she doesn't seem to be afraid of the water, at least if she's meeting it on her own terms. She also demonstrates how even if the tub, she just won't sit still.






Well, that's all for today. That's about another two weeks of updates packed into a single post. Enjoy!

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.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Baby Shower

Today the family was headed to George and Amanda's baby shower. Before we even got ready, I was playing with Zoe in bed. She was just sitting on my stomach, staring at her feet and drooling. Here are a few pictures. After play time, we had to get ready to head out. Zoe wore a nice dress, even if it was a little big on her. I took a picture of her in it before we left, then a bunch more of her while we were outside. Take a look and Zoe and Cheryl together. They're so cute! Those two are so gorgeous on their own that they become simply stunning when put together. I just can't get enough. Anyway, if you take a look at all of these, and more, in Zoe's set on Flickr, you can see all of the detail in the drool. It's really quite amazing.
