Happy Father's Day!

It's Father's Day!

YAY!

This week Zoe is preparing for tooth #5 (front, left) and Mommy and Daddy
are doing their best to give her comfort when they can.

She's happiest when standing and we are confident she'll be walking soon.


Zoe is also comfortable exploring the bounty of books and toys we've 
assembled for her entertainment.

Here she is reading by herself.  



Mommy snapped this pic of Zoe emptying a basket of toys...
but apparently one toy wanted to hang around. 




While Zoe was playing with a magazine, Daddy turned on the video 
to capture her playing. 

Unfortunately, Daddy's BRIGHT LIGHT also came on, and Zoe noticed.
Here's what happened (love the double-take). 






Daddy and Zoe went for a morning walk and stopped by Zoe's favorite purple flowers.

Zoe was happy to meet a new friend there.




Then we walked to the Equestrian Center and said hello to so many pretty horses...


...that Zoe got a little tuckered out.

Of course that's (in part) because of all the excitement on TV.

Mom!  Come look!



The most exciting news is that Zoe decided it was time to go for a swim.

I make this wetsuit look AWESOME!


Mommy and Zoe put on their bathing suits and headed to the pool.





Mommy kicked off her sandals and she and Zoe entered the pool.

The flags are to discourage ducks from having their own pool parties.



It didn't take long for Zoe to figure out SHE LOVES THE POOL!




Mommy helped Zoe swim for the first time.




From her baths, Zoe is already very good at "splash-splash-splash."


What feels better than a little sun on your face while playing in the pool?


Mommy and Zoe had a blast swimming together.


Zoe couldn't stop smiling.



Relaxing on her back


Our little fish had so much fun with Mommy.




Zoe's favorite part was when Mommy would lift her in the air.




Look at that face

What a fun day!

  4. Only wrote a few words last night because I was on my phone. Looks like a private pool. What fun! It was a good idea to add the flags & I hope it works to deter the ducks. Zoe looks like so much fun. I really do wish I could have afforded to come with Grammie this time but know she will have a ball.
