Mom's Away the Kids Will Play

Zoe and Grandpa J and Uncle Jason and Aunt Heather

Diana went on her annual spa getaway with her mom and sister this past weekend, so that meant I was my first time alone with Zoe for more than a day.

I survived with a little help from my family.

My dad came down on Saturday afternoon. We had a good lunch outing to Little Italy and even got in a full family nap.

Jason and Heather came down on Sunday morning. I got to go the beach to play some beach volleyball. Then, we went to Stanley's for a late brunch. We got to eat outside and enjoy the great weather. Good stuff.

All in all is was a nice weekend. Zoe ate and napped without issue. However, Zoe and are are so excited to have Diana back.

Can't Wait

Labor Day can't come soon enough! We cannot wait for my family to come in. It's about time Zoe got to meet her cousins.

Wigging Out

Check out Zoe modeling her new 'do. This look is called the Lil' Kim and Zoe rocks it like nobody's business.

At my mom's group yesterday, one of the mom's busted out this pink "Baby Toupee" that she received as a baby shower gift. Totally random present, but it was the perfect prop for our mom's group. At this point, the babies in the group are still a bit too young to do much playing, so plopping the wig on all the girls for some impromptu phone photos kept us all entertained. Check out www.babytoupee.com for some funny (and pretty disturbing) baby toupee pictures.

Workin' On Her Fitness

With Zoe's 6-month birthday just around the corner, she busted out her workout clothes and started getting serious about this sitting up solo business. After plenty of wobbles and topples she's now sitting up like a pro...mostly. Way to go, Zo! Below is some video footage of one of her grueling training sessions:

Three Amigos

This weekend we had Kristin and Lydia and Chris and Andrew over for dinner. With Andrew finally getting the all-clear to hang with other babies, we were excited to meet him and introduce Zoe to her new buddy. At just 10 weeks, he spent the evening sleeping. Zoe was never such a sleepy baby, even at 10 weeks, so it was really interesting to see. He was a total cutie and will be having fun with the girls in no time.

Zoe and Lydia noticed each other a little bit more again, and I think Zoe really liked Lydia's ladybug helmet/hair accessory!

Even though our nights end much earlier these days, it was fun getting together and seeing the babies all together.

Identity Crisis

Yes, our blog is having a bit of an identity crisis. I've been changing the color schemes, adding pictures, etc. and nothing seems to be doing it for me. I'm just not feeling any of the stock template options on Blogger. I stumbled on this one today and I liked it. But then I realized it's the same template as the Hunts, and I don't want to be stealing their "look." Sorry Matt and Alison.

I'll have to do some internet searching for Blogger templates I suppose. Uh, because that's how I should be spending my few moments of free time these days.

Breakfast Time

Dear Mom and Dad,

What are you waiting for?! Please give me some cereal already. Otherwise I'm going to keep slobbering all over yours.

You know you love me.
XOXO,
Zoe
