We have introduced the world of REAL food to Zoe!! You can’t really call the gooey mess of rice cereal real, but the delicious sweet potatoes you can call real! We are doing the whole food thing very Marthaesque and making all of Zoe’s food. At least for the time being. We want to do […]

We’ve been busy this past week, but have been having a lot of fun. Last Friday, Zoe and I spent the day in Elgin and my mom was able to feed Zoe cereal for the first time. It was a riot, very messy. My folks didn’t have a high chair, mainly because Mike and I […]

It has been too long since I’ve written and I apologize. Life turned crazy the past couple of weeks. First, Zoe had a bad reaction to her shots and had a fever. This was the day that we left for Wisconsin, so fortunately my mom was here to help take care of Zoe while I […]

We got home from Zoe’s four-month appointment a couple of hours ago. Zoe was great, laughing for the doctor and playing with his tie. The doctor, whom we like a lot, talked to us about starting Zoe on real food and answered our questions. Thankfully, Zoe is in great health and we don’t have to […]

If you look at the pictures of Zoe on a regular basis, you’ll be able to tell she has some pretty cute clothes. We are very grateful to our friends and family, because many were gifts. However, many were also given to Zoe as “hand-me-downs” from a delightful family I used to baby-sit for.** One […]
