Hanging with G4

Okay, so I lied and I am totally back dating this post. So even though I am not posting it online until late September, I am back dating it to the time in which it occurred, which was the end of August.

Yesterday Zoe and I took a ride out to the Miller residence so that Zoe and G4 could hang out together. There were lots of new toys for her to play with and she was sure to make use of all of them. Just check out this Philadelphia Phillies/Batman/Grim Reaper/Gardener cosplay she has going on here.



She really took things to another level. Then, both G4 and Zoe wanted to ride on one of his bike/scooter contraptions. Poor George (aka G3) had to push them up and down the driveway, but it was certainly worth the effort.



Once we were done playing at the house,we decided that the kids might like to run around on the baseball field. It was a short walk over, especially since we put them in strollers, and they quickly took to the field. Along with a baseball diamond, there was also a soccer net, which seemed to catch the two of them fairly well.



As you can see, Zoe was also running around barefoot, which is typical, and accosting George from a tree, which also happens quite often. We finished the day with a meal in the nicest Wendy's I have ever been too. Along with that, we stole G4's magnetic Toy Story book, which we still need to return. Sorry about that!

Take a look in the G4 set on Flickr to see even more pictures of the day.

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...

She Poops Because She Cares

One week ago today, Zoe was born. She seems to have adjusted to life in West Philly fairly well. Her pink blanket is one of her favorites to snuggle up with; however, we did learn that much like her father, she hates to bathe. So her first appointment with the peditrician was Wednesday at 11:00am. She seemed to enjoy her ride in the car again, and by that I mean she was passed out the whole way there. The doctor said she was looking good. The jaundice that she had in the hospital is no longer a concern now that she's eating and going to the bathroom regularly. Also, she's working her way back up to her birth weight. After being born at 8lbs 8ozs, she dropped down to 7lbs 13ozs when she was discharged from the hospital. At her appointment she weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs. Later in the day while I was out shopping for essentials (and comic books) Zoe was getting fussy with her mother. We're not entirely sure what the issue was, but we did find out that she loves her swing....

What You Talking About Zoe?

For a while now, Zoe has used several words in rotation. It's hard to say when or what her first word was, but somewhere around 12 months she seemed to be saying "ball" and "cat" regularly. Cat was most likely her first word. At least it was the first word caught on film. We should probably take a moment here to recall the progression of what she calls us. It started out normally with "mama" and "dada". Then progressed to "mommy," but it took a strange turn before it made its way to "daddy". There were several steps before that one. In no particular order, they were "da-mommy", "dummy" and "bummy". My personal favorite was when she would call me "dadadadadadada", but that didn't last very long. Today we're just mommy and daddy. Over the past couple of weeks, Zoe has been mimicking words we say, but just this past weekend she seemed to develop a whole set of words. For ins...
