In case you didn’t know, Annie has a blog at mamarage.tumblr.com where she posts photos of Zoe from her cameraphone.
Annie: Okay, I’m going to count to five, and then we’re going to be all done with this. Zoe: Mommy, stop talking! I’m going to count to six. Annie: And then we’ll be done? Zoe: No, I’m just counting to six.
Zoe was a little young for the beach last year, but we’ve managed to take her a few times this year, and she’s always very excited. She loves playing in the sand and even (with a bit of coaxing) splashing in the creek — though she refuses to touch the actual ocean, and when it [...]
Don’t worry about the fact that you can’t see anything in the video – it was taken in Zoe’s room with the lights out, while Annie tried to put Zoe to bed one night. For several nights in a row, I had been laughing while listening to Annie try to put Zoe to bed. She [...]
Dear Zoe, You are two years old, and it is absolutely crazy how much you have changed and grown lately. You’ve recently started going to Co-Op daycare, started jumping and doing somersaults, become fascinated with reading and writing, and singing and talking. You are always busy and high energy, and everyone thinks you’re adorable.
Annie: “Ooh, a Sassy Single Moms Group! We should send Sean!” Sean: “I get enough sass from you.”
While digging through some old papers, Annie found this set of pages she colored when she was in second grade in 1986. I love the inclusion of the “stand” as part of the computer. It holds the monitor!
I just realized I haven’t been posting about Zoe much lately. I’ll try to make up for that with a few photo posts, but let me kick-start the process by sharing a few things:
The other day, Annie and I noticed that Zoe has just enough hair to put it into little tiny pigtails. As you can see, I was greatly amused by the results.
We’d been trying to get her to walk for a couple of minutes, and this is how she let us know she was done. I posted a whole slew of videos and photos on flickr. I’ll be highlighting a few of the best showing all of Zoe’s new tricks this week, but if you don’t [...]
Birth: I was called home from work because your mom went into suprise labor 3 weeks early. After just a couple hours of pushing, you were born in the bathroom at 3:30 in the afternoon. You weighed 5 pounds, 5 ounces, and were 19½ inches long. Oh, and your mother nearly divorced me for trying [...]
Sometimes Zoe wakes up at 4 or 5am, and Annie is nice enough to take her downstairs so she doesn’t wake me up. Usually when my alarm goes off, I will find them both asleep on the couch. This morning, though, Zoe had sprawled out backwards across Annie’s leg, with one foot up on her [...]
Zoe is one year old today! It’s hard to believe, I know. Here’s a photo I took this morning of her waving at me, and you can see all four of her teeth. And in case you feel like revisiting the event, here’s a link to Annie’s birth story and my birth story.
The decrease in activity at work, which I had hoped would correspond with an increase of activity here on my blog, instead corresponded with a dramatic rise in germs. Last week there was a minor pink eye outbreak in the creative department, which resulted in an almost comical proliferation of anti-bacterial hand soap dispensers around [...]
Annie: “I just wanted to let you know that I was right, she was pooping.” Scott: “This is the weirdest phone call I’ve ever received.” – Annie called me about ten minutes after I left the house to tell me this.
