I think you can probably guess how this is going to go!!
Wishing on a Star
As promised, here are our holiday wish lists. Zoë is quite excited about all of the paper and boxes we’ve been telling her about. Maybe by next year, she’ll be old enough to say “put it back in the box, mom.” *
Zoë’s Wishlist
Ray’s Wishlist
Kandace’s Wishlist
* apparently, everyone gave me clothes as a kiddo to hear me disappointedly say this very phrase. you all should be ashamed, toying with a little baby that way. boy have i grown up!
Zoë Report : October
Zoë just had her 6 month checkup. Some stats: she’s 27″ long, 16.4 pounds and full of wiggles. Since she’s already crawling and standing, her Dr. says she’ll be walking by 9 months. 9 months! This thought has us both excited and terrified.
Zoë is also grazing a bit on food. Food! We’ve discovered that she adores bananas and cereal soaked rice milk, but is still on the fence with applesauce. Making applesauce, of course, the favorite food to feed her. Those faces!
Here she is on a recent zoo trip with Daddy. She just loves the zoo.
Another Swimming Lesson!
Kandace took Z to her swimming lesson last week, just before our vacation. I tagged along with the video camera.
Footage of our vacation is coming soon!
My First Meal
Little Z eats her first meal of mashed-up banana. Interesting reaction!
Zoë in September
Today’s video is from this past month, just some random stuff. I’ve added a bit of music and… well, here you go!
If you haven’t visited in a while, be sure to visit our online gallery at MobileMe. There’s quite a bit of stuff up there by now.
Zoë in the Back Yard with Her Fancy, Fancy Water!
We just put up a new video of Zoë, which we filmed the other day in the back yard. We hope you like it. Click on the video to view!
Fall
Fall is upon us here in Portland, but we’re still managing lots of walks with Zoë (she loves them). On a walk last week, the three of us discovered a hurt crow in the park. We brought the crow to an emergency animal hospital and we hear it is going to be a-ok. Between this, her recent visit to a VegFest, and the allure of our cats’ tails, Zoë is learning all about loving the animals.
Our newest milestone with Zoë is this whole crawling gig. She’s not very quick yet, but boy does she pick a target and go for it.
5 Months Old
Zoë and Jude
Today is Zoë’s 5 month birthday. Can you believe that! We had swim lessons today and Zoë proved herself to be capable not only of swimming, but also of falling asleep in the water with her goggles on. We are going to celebrate with the Grandparents over dinner tonight. We’re also giving Zoë this cute playbook…shhh…don’t tell her…she hasn’t seen it yet.
BTW…the pic above was sent to me by a friend who took it earlier in the summer. That’s Z’s little friend Jude who was born 1 day after her.
Swinging…
Kandace, Zoë, and Tiffany on the swings this morning. Filmed with my iPhone.
