Such An Angel... Sometimes

There's no doubt about it, Zoe is a good kid. No, seriously. I know I joke about a lot of stuff, and believe me, she can throw a tantrum with the worst of them, but overall Zoe is really sweet, well behaved and listens when you ask her to do something. I took her to a music class not so long ago and she just looked really cute while we waited for the studio to open.



She sat and waited so patiently and then went crazy on the drums. The other night I'm not sure what got in to her, but she was just acting crazy in her playroom. I was able to capture a few good moments on video. See for yourself.



She can also be super silly, which I find incredibly fun. The other night when I was putting her down for bed, she was laying on the changing table when she put her fingers in her ears and just started to laugh. It was so bizarre that I started to laugh too, which got her going again. That went on for a couple minutes before I actually put her in her crib.

Inevitably, with those fun times come the not so fun times. Soon you'll see our Christmas card that will be made from the pictures we had taken. What you won't see is the tantrum that took place during the photo shoot where, with candy in mouth Zoe threw herself to the floor, spit out her M&Ms and then climbed up to her hands and knees to reclaim the expelled candy. After she dusted herself off, I gave her a ride in a clothes cart in the changing room. When I asked her to smile, she did this.



She's so pretty. The other day Cheryl asked her to smile and she got this lovely picture.



Yeah, that's supposed to be a smile. Now let's be serious, is that a mini-Cheryl or is that a mini-Cheryl?

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,...

Big Girl Tubbie

This past weekend, Cheryl and I went away and left Zoe with Mimi and Joe Pop. Apparently everyone had a great time. We're super glad that Zoe got to spend so much time with her grandparents, we're incredibly thankful that they watched her for the long weekend, plus, we were just happy to get away by ourselves for the first time in 17 months. That being said, I have no pictures of Zoe from this past weekend (shame on you Mimi!) However, tonight Zoe took her first bath in the actual tub. Up until now, we have been bathing her in her little whale tub because, well, she still fit in it. I think she may like the big tub even better, but I'll let you decide that for yourself. There are a few more pictures, so be sure to check out Zoe's set on Flickr. I'm looking forward to more tubbing in the future. We'll see what the rest of the week has in store.
