A day in the mall and 'books and babies'

Yesterday night Zoe got rid of her fever but had a horrible time 'going to bed'... finally she fell out and this night was much better with only a few breaks in between. Here aunt Dana soothing niece Zoe:Today we went to the mall and the little ones were able to take some funny rides with the frog...
and a duck
after lunch we went to the library where they had: 'books and babies', they sing songs and afterwards the kids can play around a little. I was a little worried this was all too much for her being sick but she did great and feels much better today.
After the group we went to a coffee shop with the other german girl Dana met (very nice) and had a great coffee and cake session and talked a lot. In downtown Bozeman I finally found a glasses frames shop that has very unique glass frames :)... I have to get back there... there were some potential frames I really liked, well, maybe a little too crazy ;)... but I really need something very cool :)
Back home, playing with Zoe but now it's time for dinner, let's see if she eats tonight good... yesterdays' dinner she barely touched and I ended up breast feeding her.

Zoe is sick

Taking a nap yesterdaySo, it's official, Zoe is really sick for the first time in her life, her nose is so stuffed up that she has a hard time breathing. She woke up last night every 30 min. at least and finally at 4AM I decided to feed her again hoping that this might give her a longer stretch of sleep... well, she threw up all the milk in my bed :(... she needed a bath and I needed to get rid of all the milk soaked bedding and PJ and then we finally got some sleep for a little bit. At 6AM she was up again and I took her with me into bed. At 9AM when she heard Sophia outside talking/ walking she was wide awake looking forward to seeing her cousin. It's sooo cute, Zoe really loves Sophia.
Zoe has a little high temperature but it dropped already and I found a doc that is in our network around here, just in case we need to go... we'll see how it goes... but I'm telling you, it's easier if an adult is sick and you have to take care of him/her than taking care of a sick baby! I'm so sorry for her... but she's smiling again here and there and is hanging out with us and cracks up about Barkley (sooo cute)
just had lunch... her appetite is still good, that's a good sign.

Sisters/Cousin Day

Today Dana, Sophia, Zoe and I went out and had a girls day. It was fun, of course we went shopping (one store after the next) with a coffee/cake session in between... Sophia started sharing toys with Zoe today and also played with her, even though still when Zoe just says one bit, Sophia puts her pointing finger on her mouth and says: 'sssshhh'... too cute, we tried to get a picture of her doing it but couldn't get it.
While Sophia was busy playing with the truck, Zoe was fascinated by our shoe laces...
... just wait, one day...
...she'll tie our shoe laces together and we get up and ... wuppss, we'll fall down *lol*She even looked for shoe laces on her shoes and Sophia's! But at that time Sophia was barefoot already and of course her shoes doesn't have any at this point! The girls are just so much fun. Doug and Dana are out to dinner right now enjoying some couple time while I brought the two kids to bed, it worked out pretty good. Unfortunately Zoe got sick today (first time), she has a running nose and is a little warmer than usual, she wakes up every 30 min or so crying and stuffed up :(... I hope she'll feel better tomorrow. Sophia of course goofed around with me, I actually played a singing song with her eating her food *lol*... '... enee mene muh, und raus bist Du...' she even sang the song herself (I could understand her: 'enee mene muh') while I was busy changing Zoe's diaper.
When Sophia thinks nobody listens to her, she actually brings out words... you just have to listen when she thinks you doesn't *lol*... tricky lady.

Jolly Jumper

Yesterday Doug installed the Jolly Jumper for Zoe because she was going nuts with her feet under the table ;)... she's used to lots of moving around *lol*Good Morning, she's so excited about everything that's happening here when she wakes up... the dog was running back and forth and Zoe was just cracking up again every time he past by the room
Look at our little fashinista
Hello :)
Sophia with her cool car, I'm still jealous about that one, I want one too... it looks sooo cool :)
