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?

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.
