Boo.
Until consideration for Zoe entered the picture, I had CT scans and blood work (tumor markers) every six months so anything suspicious might be nipped in the bud. I was happy to have ultrasounds instead of CT scans when I was pregnant and since I have been nursing, mainly because they are quicker and I […]

Our tiny dancer
01.27.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsIn addition to walking, Zoe is dancing now. It is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. Give her a beat, a melody, or just suggest the word “dance” to her, and she boogies. Love it.

I, for one…
01.24.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments…welcome our new robot overlords. Our family is complete. UPDATE: For any Arrested Development fans… Shortly after publishing this post, Joel got a juice box from the fridge and stood, drinking and admiring Roomba. “Juice box… Roomba… I’m one bad encounter with a seal away from being Buster.” Also… sale on ellipses today.

01.18.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsZoe took TEN WHOLE STEPS on her own last night! She was standing up, looking at the TV, and out of nowhere she just walked, never taking her eyes off the screen. She arrived at her little Winnie the Pooh car, pushed it six or so more steps, and sat down. It was awesome.

I actually had no idea until today, since I haven’t seen a big smile for the past two days; a new tooth certainly would explain her extreme fussiness and […]

Clean chompers
In late November of 2002, Joel asked me (on a beach in Seaside, California) to marry him. When I returned to College Station after that trip, something inside me clicked: people who are responsible enough to get married ought to floss every day. So I began flossing every single night before bed, without fail, and […]

A reminder
01.08.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsThis post is brought to you by the fact that The Biggest Loser Couples is tonight, and I’m beside myself. I have prepared what I call Bikini Burgers for dinner (more on that if they turn out well), and Zoe is taking one of her rare naps. Thus, I blog. This morning I had occasion […]
