some crawler shots

these two pics look like Mini Frankie:
Clapping hands, so funny in between her crawling she just sits up and claps her hands! Maybe she applauses herself for her accomplishments :)
On the go:
What's up Mommy?
She found her new spot :)... she crawled through the foyer while the waste truck drove by and she crawled towards the window and said: 'mba mba da'... it was too cute... well hello tiny finger prints on the windows :(
Zoe is still sick but it's running out pretty good... we'll see how long it'll take this time to be back to normal. Yesterday was sooo bad, she was crying so hard and wouldn't calm down unless I carry her around that I finally put her in the car and drove around for an hour which calmed her down... fun times ;)... we survived though, today is another day. Got up very early so I could get at least a few hrs in before she got up... I'm curious how today is going to be.

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!

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:
