Don't Touch The Hair

When people see Zoe, they are shocked at how much hair she has. This has been the case pretty much since the moment she was born --when the doctor and nurses all agreed that Zoe had more hair than any baby they had ever seen.

Interestingly, Lila's parents weren't even a little bit surprised by Zoe's little Toupe. In fact, they had definitely seen at least one baby that had at least as much hair as Zoe...

Zoe Dances to Esquivel

Zoe has taken a liking to The Ting Tings, and Esquivel. Check her out, dancing to Esquivel. With any luck she will have some sweet dance moves like her father.

Zoe Is a Goofball

This might be my favorite video of Zoe's 5+ months to date. Reasons why I love this:

1. She responds to her name when I call her
2. She seems to be bonding with her "blanky", and enjoys having it on her face
3. She has discovered a game which involves laying around with blanky on her face while trying to rip down the pig. She will be eating bacon in no time.
   

Why would you do this to me?

I thought you loved me? Why spoon this goop in my mouth?

Ah, if only she knew it was just the beginning, and it's only uphill from here. This morning we gave Zoe her first taste of solid food, and let's just say it was not well received. Not that you'd want to eat runny oatmeal either.

Five months old and full of faces!

On Wednesday, Zoe's 5 month birthday, I picked her up and brought her home for a little photo session. She was in a hilarious mood and full of faces... and like the professional I am, I captured almost all of them awkwardly in the frame. Enjoy.

Splish splash!

Bathtime has been popular around here since the early days, but lately Zoe has taken to it in a whole new way. Not only does she love having her hair shampooed, she's discovered the power of her little legs - splashtastic! I needed all new pyjamas myself after her last bath :)

Tummy time

Zoe is NOT a fan of tummy time, so we've had to get creative with it. Anything we can do to get her to hold her head up is great, and this laying-on-mom thing is quite a hit.

That's my monkey, pal!

Zoe is a huge fan of this cuddly monkey (a gift from our lovely neighbors), and often tries to chew on his ears. Cannibalism.

First Passover

Though she was too young to sing the four questions (much to Uncle Cory's dismay), she squealed along and stayed awake for most of dinner.

(And humored Uncle Matt by wearing a keepah for a while)

Four months and twice the size!

Zoe has been growing like crazy! She's now doubled her birthweight, and is somehow in the 90th percentile for height. Eric has requested a paternity test.

Zoe is three months old!

Smiling, cooing, and getting ready for her first vacation...

Zoe is two months old. already.

Okay, i'll do the thing all parents do and lament for a moment how fast they grow.

Done.

Zoe has outgrown her first outfits, started to smile, cry, and drool (you can guess which one we're most excited about), and is very fond of her play gym.

And no, she hasn't lost any of that hair - in fact, it keeps growing!

 
Zoe did her best Sean Penn impression today. I went to take a picture of her, and she totally took a swing at me. If you try to photograph her, be very careful.

Zoe Gets A New Toy

Little Zoe has been developing a lot lately. No longer is it just eat-sleep-poo. She is now grabbing, kicking, cooing, and generally being adorable. With that in mind, we took a generous gift card from Greg and Caroline and purchased her a "Play Yard". Here she is checking it out:

We can't wait to see what's next!

Funny face

Zoe wishes Nana a Happy Birthday

Carina visits

Cousin Carina has been enamored for weeks, but wasn't quite sure how to approach Zoe at first:















She's definitely getting the hang of it:

My best birthday present:

(and not just because she's sleeping!)

Zoe learns to accessorize...

... like Nana!

Lazy Saturday Morning

It's cold and rainy in SF this morning and we are comfortably shut in at home. Zoe just ate a big meal and she is awake, alert and cheerful. It's really in the last few days that she has awake time where she isn't pre-occupied with her next meal or indigestion issues. Lila snapped some great pics of Zoe:
