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...

Zoe Ninja Warrior

In looking for something to do over the weekend, Cheryl found a gym nearby that has Ninja Warrior equipment and allows children Zoe's age. They had an open drop in time on Sunday from 4:45pm to 7:15pm. To prepare for her day, Zoe put on her exercise outfit, added some body glitter on her shoulders and then used markers to make some tattoos. She looked especially cute and tough. Once we got in, she was all over the place: running up the wrapped wall, swinging on the ropes and rings, jumping on the trampoline. She tried so many times to get up that wall. As soon as the boy in front of her got up it, she was up on her next run. That's a 10 foot wall. Two and a half times her height, and was right up it. She was so excited to get up that thing. Cheryl and I even got in on the action, trying out the different equipment. Here she is, looking amazing at the apex of a bounce on the big trampoline. Zoe was also all over the gymnastics equipment. She really enjoyed sw...

She Poops Because She Cares

One week ago today, Zoe was born. She seems to have adjusted to life in West Philly fairly well. Her pink blanket is one of her favorites to snuggle up with; however, we did learn that much like her father, she hates to bathe. So her first appointment with the peditrician was Wednesday at 11:00am. She seemed to enjoy her ride in the car again, and by that I mean she was passed out the whole way there. The doctor said she was looking good. The jaundice that she had in the hospital is no longer a concern now that she's eating and going to the bathroom regularly. Also, she's working her way back up to her birth weight. After being born at 8lbs 8ozs, she dropped down to 7lbs 13ozs when she was discharged from the hospital. At her appointment she weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs. Later in the day while I was out shopping for essentials (and comic books) Zoe was getting fussy with her mother. We're not entirely sure what the issue was, but we did find out that she loves her swing....
