Happy to see me!

I get this every day when I pick her up from school. If she's holding something, she usually throws it down on the way to me. It truly, truly is the best moment of my day.

Zoe in the Mornings

I once followed the blog of this woman who photographed her child every morning before they left the house and then posted it that evening. I liked that blog, but of course, I didn't know her or her kid, so when time got tight, and my bloglines had to be paired down, she was one who didn't make the cut. Either way, I liked the idea of the blog. It was perfect for grandparents and friends, and since that is about all who are following us now (and rightfully, so!) may I present the past few mornings of Zoe-ness.









You can tell a few things from these pictures:
1. Zoe is out growing her clothes, but I keep stuffing her into the ones I really like. Its time to retire the green floral outfit.
2. We eat breakfast "on the fly" around here.
3. And Zoe is the cutest dumpling there every was!....so says her Mommy!

Laurie Berkner

I recently asked for new kid's music recommendations and I got multiple recommendations for Laurie Berkner. I feel like my Mom-head must have been in a hole to have missed out on this kiddly awesomeness! Zoe LOVES her and we have been singing and dancing all weekend to new songs! In my defense, we don't have cable, so I don't have Noggin or Sprout to discover this sort of thing. We have simply been sticking with what we know, or with kind people have given us.

Here are some of our new favs.


Zoe quirks...

Just a few quick things I've been meaning to mention...

*Zoe laughs in her sleep. I've heard it three times and it is by far the sweetest sound I have ever heard.

* As part of Zoe's therapy, we are suppose to be giving her choices, choices, choices all day long. Milk or Juice? Red or Blue? Book or Ball? You would expect her to choose the one she wants, but in actuality, she takes the one she doesn't want and chucks it across the room.

*At night, when Jeff kisses her goodnight, she insists on about 5 more before she will let him go.

*If you hold her, she will very likely rub or pat your back.
Me and my "Hello Kitty" pajamas OWN this house!
