Zoe had a fun date all day today - Ian! We played at home, went to see the one and only Sponge Bob Square Pants (Ian's request, of course!), and got some ice cream and blueberries. Zoe was in heaven. So many times today Ian had her laughing so hard she was practically crying! He was a really good sport about being groped by her all day , too! Go Spiderman (Ian's alter ego)!

Mommy's little helper
We got laminate floors a few months ago and it's been great. Instead of vacuuming everyday though, now I have to dry mop to get up all the animal hair and people mess that fills the floor throughout the day. Today, Zoe grabbed another mop, on her own, and started mopping the whole house. She followed a path around the living room, through the kitchen, down to my room, and back to her room about 20 times! She was very focused and very determined. She's already a better housekeeper than myself! Are bathrooms next?...I can dream can't I!!???;)

Getting bigger
Reading
Zoe likes to read books all by herself. She will get one, sit down, and turn the pages. She has also started labeling familiar objects in the pictures. Today she pointed to a ball in the book, said "ball", and then pointed to her ball in the playpen and said, "ball" again. My child is a stinkin' genius!
Where did he go?

Music at the Park
We went to an outdoor concert tonight with friends and Zoe had a blast! She got yummy snacks with her buddy, Tully, she got to run around and see all the people and try to get their picnic supplies, she got front and center and danced and cheered for the band, and just generally ran her parents ragged. We have hope for next year though, because her friend Tully is a year older and really seemed to get the concept of hanging out in the general vicinity of our picnic blanket instead of running like a crazed maniac into every else's areas. Overall though, we had a great time and hope to do it again soon!

Zoe loves Maggie
Zoe has started giving our dog, Maggie, hugs - out of the blue. It is so cute because Maggie is the perfect height for Zoe hugging. Maggie still isn't quite sure what to make of it yet, but Zoe is fairly gentle and I think Maggie might even like it. I'm sure Zoe would like to hug our (much) bigger dog, Boston, but he takes off running every time she gets near him (such a scaredy cat)!

Whooooooooo Hooooooooooooo!
Daddy graduated from Nursing school this past weekend!!!!!! Yayyyyy Daddy!!!!!!!!!!! He has earned it! Years of brain draining work, long hours (late nights and early mornings!), lack of sleep, MAJOR stress, and a few hospital stays and he is FINALLY DONE! I don't have any idea how he could pull all of this off and become a father smack dab in the middle of it all and still make it out smiling. An amazing man - deserves everything! We are soooooo proud of you Keith. I know we (and by "we" I mean ME) might have added a few extra stressors in there here or there (tee hee), but we knew you could do it all along and couldn't be prouder and more excited for you. Here's to being a college grad - congrats we love you more than anything!

Yummies
Zoe has been a vegetarian so far. We have to be sure she gets enough protein so we have to be more creative with her meal times because like all toddlers, Zoe can be kind of picky. One thing that is always a hit is beans! She loves grean beans, lima beans, black beans, kidney beas - you name the bean, she loves it! As you can see from the picture, black beans are the messiest!
ET phone "hooooooome"

%#@!*&
Now I start this story by reminding those of you who know me that I am not a potty mouth. So here goes parental confession #187.....
I was putting Zoe in her high chair the other day and pinched my finger in the tray. It really, really hurt, and I swore out loud. The next thing I know, Zoe is looking at me smiling and saying,
"ShhhhhTT, shhhhtttt, shhhhtttt"! Oooops!

Gramma's little helper
Happy Mothers Day (early)
Since Gramma won't be here for Mother's Day, we took her out to brunch this weekend. We went to the same water front place that my bridal shower was held at - the weather was beautiful again! Zoe loved watching the people dock their boats to come and eat, and also all the boats going by. She chowed down on watermelon and strawberries (her favorite fruits) and had a great time. I hope my Mom knows how much we both appreciate all she does for us and how hard she works in Wavecrest so I can stay home with Zoe! Thanks Mom!
