my dad's a geek

..and so is Zoe, based on how high her pants are pulled up. I have to say, though, that they're the two cutest geeks I've ever seen.

yes, we eat bunnies

Thanks, Leila, for this tasty rabbit.

Busy Weekend

Ah! We have had a very busy weekend here and don't have much time to post, but here's a picture of Zoe doing her Virgin Mary impersonation.

Zoe's Aunt Jess has two friends, Irene and FJ, who are big Zoe fans. Because we recognize that we would be nothing without our fans, we have to throw them a bone every now and then.

Teething

Dear Teething,

You suck. Please try and pop Zoe's teeth out quietly and without being noticed. We need to get some sleep.

Thanks.

A Letter to Zoe at 15 weeks

Dear Zoe,

Tomorrow you will be 15 weeks old and I think it's about effing time I stop counting in weeks. If it's getting annoying at 15 weeks, wait until you're hundreds of weeks old. You'll be two years old and already embarrassed of your mother.

Everyone is always asking me what new developments are taking place over here and lately my answer is just one word - DROOL. A close second is spit-up, though. Your drool and spit-up are currently duking it out for first prize. Drool is winning because of the sheer volume, but spit-up is really shining in the 'requiring a change of clothes' category. However, there's another twist that keeps drool in the lead - you're likely drooling so much because you're starting to teethe and because you're starting to teethe, you're chewing on your fingers like a maniac which causes you to gag and spit up. So that makes spit-up more of a follower than a leader. That's just the way of the world.



We're still having trouble with the sleeping. You just don't like sleeping in a bed, so you're still almost always sleeping in the swing. It worries me. I'm sorry if you're grown up and reading this in a full body brace because your jackass mother couldn't figure out how to get her baby to sleep in a bed. It's not for lack of trying, though. Every night we try, and every night you wrestle around and grunt and kick your legs and swing your arms (except for when you're swaddled, of course, because you're in a burrito) and eventually scream and/or cry. So? Back in the swing you go and you go right to sleep.

You are such a happy baby, Zoe. You have started really laughing now, too. Good, long belly laughs. I love it. I do the stupidest things all day long to get you laughing like that. We are two of the happiest people around, I swear. I think about everyone else going about their daily lives and think of how lucky I am to be home laughing with my baby all day. I act like an idiot and you laugh and then I laugh and we're both smiling all the time. It's a great life. I hit the jackpot.

I love you, little bean.
