That's Our Zoe

So there are a number of fun and entertaining things that Zoe does now which, no matter how many times she does them, they always make us laugh. In adding to her repertoire, the other day when we were eating lunch at Wendy's (referred to as the "fry fry house") she was relaying a story to me about eating there with Cheryl. She told me that Cheryl said she didn't eat two chicken nuggets. Now, this in and of itself was not funny. What was funny was that when she told the story, she raised the pitch of her voice when she was quoting mommy. I asked her to say it again, which she did and while I was laughing at this, I pulled out my phone and started recording. I caught a little bit of this, but it is sad because it's not as good as the original delivery.


I can't wait to hear her do this more. I'm also not sure where she got this from because I don't recall doing that in front of her, so maybe she got that from Joe Pop. Who knows.

Speaking of Joe Pop, the last time we were up at their house Zoe requested that I get "her guitar" off the wall so she could sing some songs. Again, I was able to capture a little bit of this with my phone and post it so that it can be shared with you.


Needless to say, the girl has many talents. There are a few other things I have that I'm compiling for another post, which hopefully I'll be able to make in a few days. This includes her jumping on the bed like one of those monkeys with inner ear problems as well as some pictures I took of her for a photography class I'm taking. Until then, enjoy the videos.

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...

Zoe Ninja Warrior

In looking for something to do over the weekend, Cheryl found a gym nearby that has Ninja Warrior equipment and allows children Zoe's age. They had an open drop in time on Sunday from 4:45pm to 7:15pm. To prepare for her day, Zoe put on her exercise outfit, added some body glitter on her shoulders and then used markers to make some tattoos. She looked especially cute and tough. Once we got in, she was all over the place: running up the wrapped wall, swinging on the ropes and rings, jumping on the trampoline. She tried so many times to get up that wall. As soon as the boy in front of her got up it, she was up on her next run. That's a 10 foot wall. Two and a half times her height, and was right up it. She was so excited to get up that thing. Cheryl and I even got in on the action, trying out the different equipment. Here she is, looking amazing at the apex of a bounce on the big trampoline. Zoe was also all over the gymnastics equipment. She really enjoyed sw...

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....
