Ice Cream, Parties and Randomness

Zoe loves her father. She loves her mother more. But she loves ice cream more than both of us combined. Just ask her and she'll tell you. Plus, her face really says it all. We were able to hang out with our friends the other day, which include Karim. Those two really enjoyed their ice cream.

Of course, there are other times when Zoe gets to have ice cream where you would think that she doesn't really enjoy it.

Well, you would be mistaken because she only makes that face when I ask her to smile. I think I may have commented on her mustache, and she didn't like that very much. The other day we went to help celebrate Issac's birthday at Clark Park. Zoe had a great time seeing some friends, but she was most excited to see old Dyllie-Pickle.

Judging by these pictures, I assume we can expect great things from these two in the future. Of course, by great things I mean lots of trouble, but I think that was already clear from the poses struck above. Since we were already in West Philly, and Cheryl needed some dinner, Zoe and I stopped by our favorite Chinese place to get some take out. While waiting at the bar, someone noticed a basket of lollipops.

Of course she got one and no, it doesn't really matter how good or bad she was at the time. If there are lollipops to be had, you can be sure that Zoe will get one. Such a troublemaker.

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...
