I just about forgot to post tonight. Whoop for the Aggies on their win today. I may not care about football and I may be a two percenter, but I’m related to some serious fans, so I’ll get excited for them. Here’s something to consider: according to The Biggest Loser the other night, the average [...]
Weighing in at 18 pounds and measuring 27.5 inches tall, with a head circumference of 45 cm, we have… Zoe Watts! (For Aunt Ali: throws raisins) So this is to be my NaBloPoMo double day to make up for missing the first day, since Zoe’s information deserves its own post. Although tomorrow is actually her [...]
I learned a new word today, from Joel: ombudsman. I love it. When I learn a new word, I plan to incorporate it into my vocabulary whenever possible, but I see this one as more of a unitasker, kind of like dill in my kitchen. The one time you need it, it’s all the way [...]
It started out a perfectly nice day. Zoe and I slept in later than I expected after her early bedtime last night. We played. We danced to “Pop” by *NSYNC no fewer than four times. I even got a few things done around the house. In retrospect I have pinpointed that things started to fall [...]
Zoe swam for seven seconds under water today! The swimming lessons are so much fun. She seems to enjoy herself, and I love my part of it, too. It’s a chance for me to let go a little and watch her spread her fins. It’s amazing what such young little humans can do – I [...]
This weekend my sister ran the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Together everyone raised $18.5 million, which is absolutely stunning. Congratulations to her and all her cohorts!
Okay, so YoBaby didn’t choose Zoe’s picture as a finalist for their Cover Baby contest. Which is fine. It’s totally their loss, and I’m sure it’s all political anyway. Because if you look at a picture, ANY picture, of Zoe and try to compare it to a picture, ANY picture, of another baby, there’s no [...]
We knew it would happen eventually – Zoe has her first cold. She’s handling it like a champ, though. I say going seven months without being sick at all is pretty remarkable. I am finally getting over whatever I had, which is probably what she has now – the poor little lamb. This was to [...]
According to the pediatrician, Zoe is a well baby! Her current stats: 16 pounds and 8.5 ounces heavy, 25.5 inches tall, and a 43 centimeter head circumference. Our little girl is growing so fast! We’re slowly but surely adding solids to her diet, though they’re not getting quite the warm reception one might expect from [...]
