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!

Meet the Flintstones?!?

Cheryl wanted me to share the following with everyone. These are her words, not mine. Frankly, I know I'm the lucky one. So obviously the blog is Michael's thing, which is great really because if it were up to me it would have started and ended with 99 days left! But I wanted to make a post so I could thank Michael for everything he has done for me throughout this pregnancy and most of all during delivery. There is no question that being with Michael is the smartest thing I've ever done and Zoe is lucky to call him Dad. The reason we had a planned c-section was that Zoe was 'unstable lie'. In the 4 weeks before she was due she was breech, head down, breech, and then head down again. As it was explained to us, this is pretty rare. They expected that even if she was in the right position when I went into labor, she would turn during contractions creating a dangerous situation for all of us. The day of surgery I was still pretty calm. Once I was prepp...

Florida or Bust

Last week we all flew down to Florida to visit with Nana and Poppy. We didn't take off until Zoe had a nice helping of scrambled eggs from the airport. She loves scrambled eggs! This wasn't Zoe's first flight and she was a dream. She slept for more than half of the flight there. Once we were down there,we did our best to take advantage of the weather. Back in Philadelphia the high was in the mid-40's and it was going to snow, but in Hudson it was in the 70's. We took plenty of walks in the neighborhood. Zoe was also enjoying Nana's large tub. She really loves the water. During our visit we took an outing to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park . I found this place online because they have a live mermaid show. Along with that there were peacocks, an animal show and a river boat ride. Zoe seemed to enjoy it all. There is a heated pool in Nana and Poppy's community, which I was anxious to take Zoe to. She's never really been in a pool bef...

Race Street Pier

I heard from a colleague last week that just north of Penns Landing the city had opened up Race Street Pier. It is a really nice two level pier with a number of benches, some stadium style seating near the water and a little grassy area that will be perfect for a future picnic. Since the weather was really nice on Sunday, we decided to take a trip down there and check it out. We didn't stick around long, but we had a great time. Don't forget, you can check out Zoe's set on Flickr to see these and all other pictures. As I count down the days until Zoe and I get to spend two weeks at home, and we get constant phone calls from mom to make sure we're all right, I'm really looking forward to Cheryl's first Mother's Day. She said all she needs is a simple breakfast and to sleep in. I'll work with Zoe and see if we can't make it a little more special.
