Updates

While posting has been slow, we've been doing quite a bit around here. Following are a few of the things we've learned in the last few months, in no particular order:

Zoe loves playing in a bucket of ice, which comes in very handy when we walk down to our neighborhood Little Deli & Pizzeria for dinner.

There are crazy numbers of bikes at Austin City Limits music festival - so many, there were even some hanging from trees. We biked in the first day, but didn't bother on days two and three. It reminded us of Amsterdam.

During ACL we also discovered another use for our wedding boots - protecting our feet from nasty smelling mud. If you don't already know why it smelled gross, you really don't want to know.

(This is a tame picture. By the end of day three, it was a pig sty.
Go ahead, I dare you to do a search on YouTube for Mud Boy at ACL Festival 2009.
But don't worry - thanks to the boots, we came out fairly clean.)

Mo looks really short standing in mud next to Aaron and Jessica.

(As we all could have probably guessed) Omi was awesome at taking care of Zoe and Aiden while their parents were standing in mud.

Kyle confirmed that Zoe loves stairs when he took Zoe out to the capitol building (idea courtesy of Fletcher's folks).

Zoe looks adorable in oversized baseball caps.

With a toddler, Tour de Fat is best enjoyed in a field with other toddlers.

Zoe can 'brush' her teeth(a.k.a. 'bite on the toothbrush).

And prefers it that way, thank you very much.
And only that way.
And with an adult-sized toothbrush.
Don't even think of getting in her way if you mention a
t-o-o-t-h b-r-u-s-h.
Yes, we've started spelling words.

Zoe can say 'uh-oh' (and now sometimes purposely drops things in order to say this phrase).
