Climbing the Mountain

Every day it becomes more and more obvious to me that Zoe is most likely part spider monkey. She climbs all over the place including, but not limited to, the couch, the bench, playground slides and "the mountain." What is the mountain you ask? Well, the mountain is created by removing both cushions from the back of the couch, stacking them on top of one another and then draping a gym mat over them. This creates and relatively safe indoor slide, which Zoe loves. Just take a look.



Something else Zoe has recently discovered is that her tongue does not need to be confined to the inside of her mouth. She had her tongue hanging out of her face for a good long while today and these pictures help to illustrate that fact.



This behavior was not limited to inside the house. When we got to the playground in the afternoon, she was up to the same thing again. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe she's using it like a snake to sense changes in the weather? Or maybe she thinks it makes her look like Michael Jordan? Regardless, she's super cute.



Honestly, there are more of these, but you'll have to go to Zoe's set on Flickr to see them because I'm not putting any more here; however, I will share a few other pictures. Today we assembled the water table and tested it out on the porch. It wasn't too cold out, but even if it was, I'm sure it wouldn't have stopped Zoe from all her splashing. She's going to love this thing once the weather is warmer.



So that was our Saturday. Hopefully you've enjoyed seeing the pictures from the day as much as we enjoyed taking them.

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...

Visit from Nana and Poppy

To make sure she didn't forget about her parent's birthday's, Cheryl gave them their presents on the day of the baby shower. For her father, she got a nice webcam so that we could Skype with them to interact with Zoe. A few weeks ago we had done that for the first time and it actually worked out really well. So on Monday, April 2nd, Cheryl's parents came up from Florida to meet Zoe face to face for the first time. On one day Cheryl and Zoe went to Clark Park with Nana and Poppy. Later in the week Cheryl's sister Debbie came by with her daughters, Zoe's cousins, Ashlee and Taylor. Just before they left, Cheryl remembered to take a picture. Here's Zoe with her cousin Taylor. As always, you can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's Set on Flickr.
