Our Zo-bug is 3, and boy is she! She’s opinionated, vocal, silly, adorable, strong willed, sassy, and terrible, all bundled into one tiny, bow-resistant package. Sleeping Let’s see, she still sleeps in a crib, even though we know she can climb out 😬. As long as she doesn’t climb out...
At 2, Zoe is full of personality, silly, and equipped with more than a little sass. To set the record straight, she is no longer the little monster I wrote about in her previous posts. In fact, she borders on absolutely adorable at times and now we are only moderately...
So much has happened since Zoe’s 12 month post - she’s walking, climbing and flew on her first flight. She loves peek-a-boo. Her favorite time to play is when her hands are covered in food/paint/sand/dirt. She fully commits to the game, covering her face and ensuring a bath. I love...
It was only 3 years ago when we were cheering and clapping for Max’s first words. Now we are at that stage with Zoe and we are flooded with memories of how special this age is. For all the temper tantrums and screaming spills (thanks Zoe), this age is filled...
This post was surprisingly hard to write because I’m not ready for our baby girl to be 1 year old. The emotions hit harder than expected. Zoe is our last baby and while we spend so much time celebrating firsts, it’s much sadder to celebrate lasts. I know I’m being...
Zoe moved to the Young Tot room. She doesn’t like change so the transition has been tough—cries at drop off and barely naps. Which means she is completely exhausted by the time we pick her up and goes to bed almost immediately. On the plus side, she has turned back...
No one makes Zoe smile and giggle the way Max does, and with Zoe that’s not an easy thing to do. It warms my heart every time he tells me how much he loves his baby sister. Obviously every day isn’t that ideal, at least once a day Max comes...
Life moves so much faster with two kids so I wanted to document Zoe’s birth story before the memory gets too hazy. On Saturday October 28, 9 days before my due date, I woke up with slight cramping in my stomach. I would have ignored it except that 3 days...
I know how cliche this sounds, but I can’t believe how fast Zoe is growing up. She is full of personality, incredibly loud and babbles like a drunken sailor.
Zoe is crawling and we are shocked! She looks like a beached whale flailing her legs aimlessly in the air. It’s unclear where her forward momentum comes from, but she somehow manages to drag herself from one spot to another. This also means she has started reaching for Max’s toys,...
Max has stepped up his big brother game. One of the sweetest moments this month was when Max carried his favorite book and chair to Zoe’s room and sat down to read her a bedtime story. He started off by shushing the audience then read in a whisper. For pages...
Zoe is 6 months old and just shy of delightful! While she still cries, it is a whole lot less than it used to be. We even managed to take her on a road trip to New Jersey to visit Aaron’s extended family! If you noticed the major upgrade in...
It’s hard being the second child. Not only does Zoe live with her (well-intentioned) attacker (Max), but her stuff is a little dingier, excitement is a little lower and she has been in public with a onsie that says “Daddy’’s little dude.”
