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!

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,...

Paris - Day One: Airline Trouble, Eiffel Tower, Metro

We woke up Monday morning to find out that our flight from Newark to Paris had been cancelled, but we were rebooked to fly out the next day on the same flight. Cheryl worked her magic and we transferred to a new flight out of JFK, through London, to Paris with a minimal delay in the timing. With that out of the way, we packed in to the car, made it to JFK and waited for our plane to take off. Fortunately there was plenty of entertainment in the airport, and some sleep on the plane. Unfortunately, when we finally got to Paris, Zoe's bag was missing. Apparently it didn't make the connection. She took the news fairly well. The airline personnel assured us that the bag was on its way and would be delivered to us by 2, 3 at the latest. With that we hopped in a cab to our apartment, which was located in the 10th Arrondissement of Paris. Since it was now Tuesday, thanks to the time change and length of the flight, we wanted to make the most of it, so we set out for the Eiffel...
