Zoe is all about chatting these days.  She is one winded girl, hence the reason she’s from the suburbs of “The Windy City.”  She mainly likes to say, “dada, dada, da, dad, dada, dada.”  Each day we think more and more that she is actually talking about Zak.  I’m sure that before too long it […]

When Zoe first started to crawl around, her only goal for hours would be to move from one room to another. Shortly after the crawling started she learned how to pull herself up and stand. At that point the only purpose of crawling was to get to a spot where she could stand. She was […]

Yesterday we went to the zoo and we took Zoe to the dolphin show for the first time ever in her life. The timing of the show just happened to be around lunchtime, so I imagine she was the only person in the entire arena eating zucchini before the show started. I may be wrong, […]

Zoe’s adventures are continuing, as it seems almost daily she does something she’s never done before. On Saturday she went swimming in a BIG pool for the first time! She was pretty ok with it. I mean she didn’t scream like we were actually eating her toes (like I tell her I’m going to do […]

Zoe has taken up crawling like it’s a new, exciting job. Our lives have changed so much over the past week or so. Suddenly, nothing is safe from Zoe, expect for objects placed well above her reach. I swear, I’ll blink and she has moved 16 feet and is aggressively grabbing the new Martha Stewart […]

So, you see, we have this Zoe girl. And she just happens to be amazing. Like, beyond amazing. More like perfect. She learns and grows and lives so much each day. It’s a miracle. She’s learned to crawl. My baby can crawl! She started slowly, only a few crawls at a time before rolling over […]

Zoe celebrated her first Fourth of July this week. We started the celebration with the Brookfield Parade. She was so darling, waving her little American flag at all those marching. In fact, Zoe was very popular among those in the parade, often being pointed and ooed and ahhed at, especially by the Brookfield Women’s Club. […]
