5 Months Old

Playing under the arch on her 5 month birthday.

Holding her head up

Zoe is holding her head up. She works so hard, she breaks a sweat!

Zoe's first Halloween

I took some pictures of Zoe dressed in her "Boo" outfit today. She's balanced on the couch between two pumpkins (a metal one and a real one). Since she can't hold herself up, I had to use props to hold her up and shoot fast as she slowly started leaning to one side or the other.

Hike on Mt Wanda

Daylight savings ends tonight. We took Zoe on her first hike on Mt Wanda today. Vera has started giving Zoe a bath around 8 PM and that seems to help rid Zoe of her 9 - 11 PM fussiness. Yesterday was 2 months adjusted for Zoe. She has really found her hands. She puts them in her mouth expecially when she's hungary or sleeping. She is also responding to faces more. Smiling and Laughing. Often if I raise my eyebrows and open my mouth she will see me and copy. It's really fun!! I'm not looking forward to going back to work

Esperpento and Pumpkin Patch

Zoe is starting to look me in the eye more an more. She looks and smiles at Vera more than she does me. Nurse Linda says that is because Vera has darker hair and eye brows so it's easier for Zoe to see.

We went into SF yesterday, we ate as Esperpento for tappas and Sweet Inspiration for dessert and walked around the Castro. I had an eye doctor appointment. It felt good to get out into the world as a family.

Today we went to Moore's Pumpkin Patch. We met up with Jan & Dorothea, Chloe, Joyce & Fiona, Theresa, Erika & Gavin and Irene, Bakoi & Olivia. It was cool to hang out with other lesbian moms and their kids.

Three Months Old

This snip I took of Zoe sleeping on October 12, 2006. The day after her three month birthday. Also gives some stats on her weight, height from yesterday's visit with the new nurse, Linda. She weighs 9 pounds 2 ounces. She gained 8 ounces in 9 days.

Two Months Old

This was taken on Zoe's two month birthday.
