No Peeing In The Pool

Even though Zoe and Issac hang out every week day, we don't really have that many pictures of the two of them together. When Cheryl got home yesterday, she grabbed the camera and helped to resolve that problem. This is what she got.

Now, I will fully admit that all of these pictures are cute; however, these next two just kill me with how over the top adorable they are. You can tell me if I'm wrong, but I probably won't listen.

Her arm is around his shoulder! Along with that, there are times when Zoe feels that Issac should be clapping, even if he doesn't know it. So, like a good friend, she helps to show him how it's done. Take a look.

At least she makes it up to him with a kiss and a picnic basket. That will usually smooth over any problem.

The big news from today is that Zoe started her swim lessons with me at the local YMCA. The classes are from 9:00am to 9:30am on Saturday mornings, which is pretty perfect timing wise. We already knew she loved the pool from our visit to Nana and Poppy's, so I was hopeful this would go well. Apart from the water being a little cold, the first session went fairly well.

By the end of the class, she should be able to be in the water with some floatation support and be able to kick, crawl or otherwise crudely swim towards me. We'll see how it goes.

All right, you know the drill by now. Zoe's set on Flickr. Lots more pictures. What are you waiting for?

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.
