rough day...

So today I had a rough start of the day. I got up extra early and thought I can get a lot done... which stayed a 'wishful thinking'! Yeah, Zoe gets up earlier now which didn't leave me a lot of room to work. And then she also didn't wanna be by herself and play but wanted to be with me. You can always tell when she's sick or something is going on because she's getting very cuddly and she has been for a few days. Also she cries while sleeping a little. The reason behind all this are her upper teeth which are coming in. So end of story, I tried and tried to get my whole work in and I hate these days when you sit in the office for hrs and all you get out of it is an hour. Like a lemon that is out of juice but you try to get some more out of it, that's how I feel *lol*... Well, I have to catch up on work hrs on the weekend. No relaxing time for me here :(... I'm exhausted! I'm having a good time here but as soon as I have some time to myself I have to sit in front of the work computer which I should be sitting in front of right now but I'm just not! I'm too tired! Hope next week will be getting better once her teeth are not bothering her anymore as much... here Ms Zoe sucking the hell out of the ice cold snail, yeah, her teeth are hurting :(

... and she's into everything now... CABLES... blinds ;)... we still have to baby proof our house completely!!!
But to light up the day :). I met with Silke today and her son Alex and we had a great time talking and taking a long walk through Ann Arbor (2.5 hrs) in this wonderful weather (60Degrees F / 16Grad Celcius) and we had 'bubble tea'... it was very delicious and it made up my day for sure.
Now... Zoe is sleeping... and my eyes are very heavy, I guess i'll join the 'lala-land' soon as well... need to get some rest!

Paulina is here!

Woohooo, congrats to our new proud parents: 'Irina and Thorsten' and also proud grand parents: 'Manfred and Ulrike'. Irina and Thorsten had their little baby girl today... I'm excited to share some pics but first I need to get some :). It all looks very healthy and natural... information will follow once I get some news ;). I'm so excited and love the name 'Paulina'

Kids are so much fun :)... Enjoy the little miracle...

Zoe and her buddies

Today we had a great and fun mom's meeting at Lindsay's and Scarlett's place. Can you see the HUGE dog in the back? He's taller than the couch, Zoe loved him and specially the furry cat who had to get away from Zoe because Zoe went on her nerves *lol*Charley and his girls: Scarlett, Kaitlyn and Zoe:

9 months and 5 days and Zoe is crawling!!!

Helping mommy

Yesterday we took a walk in this very nice, sunny waether and Zoe actualy fell asleep... she hasn't slept while taking a walk in months!!! I guess she was tired ;)
Here she is watching TV. She was very cuddly yesterday, I guess a tooth is bothering her!
She tries to pull herself up and I think I saw her crawling just now... normally she goes into crawling position, gets her toy and sits back up again. Just now she took two crawling steps and sat back up :)...

Well and she was trying to help me folding my clothes!!! or better 'unfold' them *urgh*... funny little girl... I think she's tired, another nap for Zoe and another hr of work for mommy now.

Active Baby

So now when we go in Zoe room to get her, she's already welcoming us by sitting up in her crib:and if she doesn't wanna go take her nap, she falls asleep while 'sitting up' and then it could end up like a sleeping position you see here *lol*:

What happens when two cute babies make a baby?

Exactly, a super cute baby like little Zoe comes out of it :)Check out Zoe's Mom and Dad as babies:
