Zoe is 8 months!

And spent the afternoon at a pediatrician visit. She's sick with a low fever and is teething all four of her top front teeth. So no pictures today because she wasn't in the mood..but more coming soon!

White House

Maya and Peter went this morning to visit the White House to see their Christmas decorations. Maya was a little disappointed when they arrived because she thought they were going to Daddy's work. Peter told her it was a part of his work and she chipped up. You're not allowed to bring cameras or take pictures, but, well, you know Peter ;)

Blizzard of 2009

DC can't handle snow--it's ridiculous how a few inches can cause a frenzy and panic amongst people and send them to the grocery store to clear out every container of milk, every loaf of bread and every shovel and sled within miles.
However, every 7 or so years, DC gets hit by a snowstorm that actually warrants such a reaction. Being the cynics we are, Peter and I did absolutely no prep for this storm and let's just say, "Thank goodness for Baba", because otherwise we would have been eating buttered noodles for 2 days.
We got 20 inches of snow between 9pm on Friday and the wee hours of Sunday morning. Maya loved every minute of it. I wasn't about to risk my camera and lens on Saturday while it was still snowing, but got a few good pictures on Sunday morning...

Gingerbread House Architects

Baba and Maya made a gingerbread house yesterday and Maya loved it. Especially the part where she ate the sprinkles.

Christmas Tree Decorating

We were all excited last weekend to get our tree and to decorate it, as well as the house. This year, we thought, Maya would really enjoy it!
Well, she enjoyed decorating a tree. That much is true. Was it our beautiful 8 foot tree, purchased at the quaint tree lot full of Christmas Spirit (Whole Foods)? Nope, it was her $5.99 fake white tree from Target..



The one picture decorating the real tree:

How cute is Zoe?

I think I had similar post about Maya...but seriously, how cute is Zoe???

My little soccer player...

Maya had a little soccer activity today and she loved it! She was a bit nervous about her "coach", but she warmed up really quickly. She paid attention and listened so well and really followed along with all the games. We will probably do it again~

Zoe, My Eater

We recently started giving Zoe "puffs" and some other finger foods and she loves them!

Zoe is 7 months! And we went to New York...

In the past few weeks, Zoe has become such a little person-it's truly amazing! She is sitting well and is grabbing and playing with her little toys. She loves to sit next to a basket of toys and pull them all out. She also started babbling the last few days-Maya's first "word" was da-da. I had high hopes for Zoe, but in the end, her first words are ba-ba! Guess we know where I stand in this family ;)

Zoe eats like a champ-she loves her purees and has started eating some small finger foods. She loves mum-mums and puffs and she may have had a McD's french fry the other day...

This weekend we went to New York for Thanksgiving and I took a lot of pictures with my new lens, which is now my favorite.
