Finding Equipoise: September 2008

House Tour #2

Below this post is the Weekly Pics of Zoe...in case you were looking for it.
So, our estimated completion date is October 30th. I'm thrilled that we only have maybe a month and a half left in this apartment. Yay! Last week we went to look at the house again. Here are some new pictures. We went twice (night and day) so they are mixed.

So, I'm sure some people will say I'm a bad parent, but Zoe LOVES the television. She is constantly looking over at it when it's on. In observing her, we've decided that she also loves football...especially to watch it with Daddy. (Hmm Grandpa S, do you recall something similar to these?)

Funny thing about Zoe hanging out with Daddy is that she always has to look over and see if I'm still there. In fact if anyone but me has her, she's always searching for me lately. Love and I find it rather comical. Tonight she checked probably 20 times in 5 minutes to make sure I was still sitting at the other end of the couch. I feel special.

She's also discovered her hands lately...rarely will you find her without them in her mouth.

We laugh at her bed time feeding because she will fall asleep while I'm trying to burp her.

She holds on tightly to anything and everything.

Some pictures of bath time...

Hanging out with Daddy

Wow, that was a lot. Hope you enjoy!

So, Zoe got her first cut...inflicted by her own fingernails. I honestly think the prenatals are making her nails grow too because I just can't keep up with how fast they grow! Anyway, I felt so bad! :(

Uncle C, here is the faux-hawk for you.

Look at those eyes sparkle!

And last but not least, a video of Zoe playing...a short video- I need to get a bigger memory chip for my camera.

Car Seat Toys

So, Zoe HATES her car seat. A lot of babies don't mind being set in their car seat to play or to sleep if they are not home. Zoe will not do this. She will usually last maybe five minutes in her seat without crying unless we are moving. This makes for very fun car rides. To try to remedy the situation, I decided to attach Zoe's car seat toys to the car seat (smart right?). Here is her reaction (I gave up trying to rotate the video to vertical...so indulge me and watch sideways!):

I promise to no longer record vertical videos!

So, I haven't had a lot of time lately and I am working on trying to post a video I took of Zoe, but I recorded it vertically and that has caused me some trouble. The Equipoise family is doing well. We all seem to be slowly adjusting to me working, though the house has suffered considerably. Zoe's still working out her sleep schedule, but a schedule is starting to form...and we're slowly teaching her to sleep better during the day (thanks for all the advice). Anyway, here are some recent pictures!
