First Sesame Place of 2014

Since we have yearly passes, and Sesame Place is 5 minutes from my parents' house, we decided to take a ride up this past weekend to enjoy some of the rides. Sadly, there was a good portion of the park that was closed, which had the majority of things that Zoe enjoyed; however, she still liked going on the carousel and really enjoyed the planes this time.

Even with that, I still think her favorite part was taking off her pants and wading into the little wave pool. The water was freezing, but that didn't seem to deter her. Plus, when she needed a recharge, she just sat down and fueled up on popcorn.

It was a good time and I can't wait to go back when then weather, and the water, are warmer.

Now to switch gears just a bit, it was a little late, but I took some pictures of Zoe at the 2 year mark. Here she is in her dress and on her chair, which is how we have been measuring her growth.

She's not the happiest of campers, but I think it helps to capture the essence of what it is to be two. Also, for comparison, here she is at 3 months, 9 months, 1 year and 2 years.

They really do grow up fast, don't they? I'll be sure to get my cuddles in while she's still little and willing to sit with daddy.

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...

Baby Shower

Today the family was headed to George and Amanda's baby shower. Before we even got ready, I was playing with Zoe in bed. She was just sitting on my stomach, staring at her feet and drooling. Here are a few pictures. After play time, we had to get ready to head out. Zoe wore a nice dress, even if it was a little big on her. I took a picture of her in it before we left, then a bunch more of her while we were outside. Take a look and Zoe and Cheryl together. They're so cute! Those two are so gorgeous on their own that they become simply stunning when put together. I just can't get enough. Anyway, if you take a look at all of these, and more, in Zoe's set on Flickr, you can see all of the detail in the drool. It's really quite amazing.
