Ready for an outing with Mommy...The hat came from a student of Mommy's.

Can you believe this is first thing in the morning? Zoe's much more of a morning person than Mommy and Daddy!!

Chillin' in Mommy's lap and suckin' her thumb... Just before going to meet Grandma and Grandpa B...Looking COOL in her ladybug shades, on her way to Mommy's school. Those middle schoolers have NOTHING on Z...

I hope you all like the video. I took a lot of time making it on www.onetruemedia.com. That's partly why there hasn't been a post from me in a week. I've been working on the video! Also, I was waiting for Noah to upload more pictures. :)

So, here are some more amusing pictures of our Zoe, if you haven't seen them on snapfish. Just let us know if you want a link to see them all.

More Milestones to Report!

Zoe has made a couple of good milestones recently. Mommy has been bragging away to anyone who will listen!

• Zoe has grown out, completely, of her take home outfit. When Daddy uploads pictures, I'll be sure to put comparison pictures to show the difference! It's amazing when you look at that! That red jumper just looks so different on her now than she did that first day home from the hospital.
• Zoe has begun to notice more inanimate objects and showing pleasure from them. She's starting to smile at them. Specifically, she smiles at her ladybug mobile when she's in her crib. Zoe's really able to show us how happy of a baby she is. She smiles more and more every single day, with big grins, open mouth smiles, and just cute little devilish ones.
• The most fun accomplishment is that she LAUGHED for the first time this morning. Mommy said hello to her and she just laughed. :) Of course, we haven't heard it since, but I'm sure it was the first of MANY laughs for Zoe!

Today, Zoe went to work with Mommy. Mommy was asked to help with some work, as a consultant, for the teachers. Of course, Mommy couldn't leave Zoe for what would have been about 5 hours, start to finish, so Zoe came to school! She met more of Mommy's friends, more of her students, and was just a golden angel. She slept most of the time, and when she didn't, she would coo and smile at Mommy. She only cried when she was hungry!

Zoe's also discovered the idiot box known as the T.V. Mommy and she were playing on the floor in the living room, and she discovered the T.V. on with the Red Sox. She was mesmerized. Is this is a good thing? Well, it does help keep her distracted, but it probably isn't a good habit for her to develop now! Eh, we'll work on this!

Weekly Update

As I sit here, I have Peanut on my arm rest watching Zoe very protectively, Zoe crashed out on her boppy, white pjs with pink and green polka dots on and her pink 3 eyed monster that Uncle G gave her next to her. Daddy is busy playing a video game...it's quite a sight for a Saturday morning.



Anyway, this week was eventful for Miss Z. Wednesday, Zoe went to visit Mommy's school for the first time. Of course, she was a hit. The teachers loved her, the administrators, secretaries, and even the kids loved little Zoe. We didn't get to see everyone, but I'm sure we'll be back to the school soon enough to see some more of Mommy's work friends.

Thursday, Zoe went shopping with Mommy. We went to the post office to get stamps and mail out the announcements (hopefully you've gotten yours by now!!), to Marshall's to just nose around, and then to the grocery store. I don't think I need to repeat how GOOD she was.

Friday, Zoe and Mommy took a well-deserved nap before heading out to visit with Grandma C's work friends. We went to Grandma's school, and looked around, saw all of her work friends, and even met a former student of Grandma's!! It was really fun to see where Mommy went to first and second grade...lots of changes since she was there!!!

After that visit, Mommy and Grandma C took Zoe to meet her Grand-memere, who her middle name comes from, in the nursing home. Unfortunately Zoe was not much of a conversationalist, but we were able to introduce them, and even got a couple of pictures. When I get them uploaded, I'll be sure to post them.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa C's house and spent some time with them. Grandpa C couldn't resist showing her off to the neighbors, and I heard she was very good! Zoe enjoyed spending time with her grandparents, looking around, getting tickled by Grandpa C, and even getting checked out by their cat, Sadie. Grandpa even learned how to open and close the stroller, put the car seat in the stroller and the car, and how to buckle her in. Good news for when they do the eventual baby-sitting gig!! :)

Today, we have a shopping trip with Auntie J. She needs help with her registry, and Zoe is going to help her figure out the best and latest in baby gear. What a good girl she is!!
