Around The House And Sesame Place

As she gets older, Zoe does more and more around the house. One of the things she enjoys doing is cooking while Cheryl cooks. This involves Cheryl getting a bowl, filling it with Cheerios and giving Zoe some kind of stirring implement, like a spoon or whisk. Zoe then stirs up what's in there and makes sure to give it a taste every now and again, like so.

She has also become much more interested in her potty. This has gone hand in hand with a desire to either be fully naked or bottomless. Even though it may mean Zoe will never speak to me when she realizes that these pictures are on the Internet, I give you potty time.

The Sunday before Christmas we made our way up to Sesame Place for their Very Furry Christmas experience. The 60-degree weather held out without a drop of rain the entire time we were there. We got to see all of the characters in the parade and Zoe was super excited to point them all out to us. Here are a few shots from that day.

That last one is her waving and saying hello to someone in the parade, possibly the Count or Elmo. Be sure to check out Zoe's set on Flickr to see even more pictures.

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.
