Mid month update

We don't look too bad together...actually look somewhat comfortable with the reality of parenthood...took long enough (poor Zoey)!

The picture taking is getting out of hand so now I need to do this more often rather than spend an entire evening catching up. It wasn't as easy in the 70's to document a baby's life, was it? Anyway, top and left to right: Commander Zoey at Charlie's house for our weekly Mom's "meeting", playing with Charlie's toys, first swim lesson, prunes on the lips going for the Gothic look, cool shades waiting for swim lesson, a quick time-out in Seth's bed, nearly crawling at Seth's house and the Mom's group (missing is the newest members Kathleen & Michael but left to right is Julia & Charlie, Allison & Ever, Jamar & Seth and me & Zoey.

First Kiss

Isn't this just THE CUTEST?! This is Charlie...who else? The picture was taken at a playmate's (Seth's) first birthday party. Charlie and Zoey only had eyes for each other.

Ready...Set...Grow

What color are my eyes??? They look kinda green. And does this diaper make my butt look big?

Almost ready to crawl... one tooth came through on the 6th and another came through on the 9th. She won't let us actually investigate and prefers that we don't touch her gums at all at this point...must be ouchy. Poor baby has been a great sport about the whole ordeal and it hasn't dented her spirit at all.

Little Princess can drink out of a glass all by herself...there's a photo in the previous blog.

Zoey had a Japanese restaurant experience yesterday. I spoon fed her miso soup and used my chopsticks to feed her tofu...what Japanese dinner would be complete without a taste of sake? She loved it all. Can't wait to give her sushi but for now, strained chicken is enough.

6 Months Old

Visit with Uncle John

Hey, look everyone! Unlce John isn't allergic to babies afterall...

Thanks John & Paula for the new tummy time mat. I can't speak for Zoey, but I certainly do get tired of playing with the same old stuff day in and day out.

We dusted off the rollerblades and took a LONG trek on the beach (from Santa Monica to Venice and back). Probably a bit too ambitious for Zoey's first time, or so she told me for the last half hour on the way back to the car.
