2 years old (a bit late)




I realized I never updated with details of Zoe at 2 and there's a lot to write about. I've also recently received some more pictures of her b'day party which were taken by a friend and are a lot better than our pictures so I thought I'd include those in this better late than never post.

At 2 years old Zoe is quite the chatterbox. She is constantly chattering away or singing songs and often says things that have us doubled over in laughter. Yesterday when I was in the playground with her a nanny that we've never met before came over to me and asked me if the little girl in pink was mine and then handed me a half-eaten box of raisins and said she had told her to give this to me. I found that hilarious. Today she answered the phone on her toy kitchen and told me "Mama, they're sending up a package" which was funny because when the phone in our kitchen (the house phone) rings it is usually because they are sending up a package. Zoe loves playing with her dolls and stuffed animals and loves to sing. Her favorite songs are Maybe from Annie, If Your Happy and you Know it and she often writes her own songs too. She is obsessed with (sigh) Dora the Explorer. As for other recent milestones Zoe has learned to climb ladders and can't get enough of them in the playground. She has a lot of friends but two that she particularly asks for a lot lately are Kate and Molly.

1 month old!



Lilia is one month old today. Where does the time go? At one month she is holding her head up and looking around a lot. She gained a whole pound in the past 2 weeks and is now 8lbs 13oz. She hasn't really gotten very far with sleeping at night and we are all exhausted!

Zoe is 2 (almost)!



Zoe had a fabulous time at her birthday party. She was excited about it for days and loved running around with her friends, doing an art project and of course loved eating her cupcake!

great big sister


Zoe is a great big sister. She is always excited to see Lilia in the morning and loves to hold her. She also loves to give Lilia a paci (which Zoe never used in her life until Lilia came along).

fun at a friend's b'day party

meet the teachers



Zoe already had a friend at the "park playdate" to meet the teachers for her new school. She and James held hands the entire time.
