Zoe's First John Deere Tractor

Aaron and I went to the farm store yesterday and when we where there we saw a John Deere ride on tractor. It is supposed to be for kids who are at least 18 months old but we thought that we could get it now and Zoe's cousin Jacob could use it until she got older. So we bought it and Aaron put it together. We let Zoe see it so she could turn the steering wheel and she got right on it and started to ride it. I couldn't believe she could ride it since she is only 10 months old! She did so well and she could even turn it to get around the couch and things on the floor. What a big brave clever girl.

Springtime in NY

Zoe has been really enjoying the springtime and warm weather. She loves getting out and experiencing new things. Here are a few of the fun things we are doing.

Going for a walk with daddy. She loves this backpack because she can see everything that is going on.
Summertime fun in the pool with cousins David, Benjamin and Jacob. She loved it when they would run around and jump in the water to make it splash.

While Aaron and I where babysitting my sisters boys Zoe found some play glasses. Now all we have to do is draw a lightening bolt on her forehead and she could be "Zoe Potter".

Driving mommies remote control car. Yes she is really driving it herself. She loved it!

Quality time with daddy and his apple. She has 8 teeth and she knows how to use them.

Zoe and Savannah

Aaron's parents have two Golden Retrievers, Savannah and Cheerio and everytime we go to visit Zoe just has to play with them. Zoe loves Savannah and Savannah loves Zoe. Last time we went to visit Aaron's parent's Savannah was laying on the floor and when Zoe finally spotted her she crawled over to see her. Savannah was so good and just let Zoe crawl all over her. She didn't even move! It was so cute.

Lilacs

Spring is here and so the lilacs are out. Susan, the boys, Zoe and I went to Highland Park last week to see and smell the lilacs. It was wonderful to be out and enjoying the world around us. The boys had fun racing to the top of the hill, Zoe had a blast trying to eat every lilac she could reach and Susan and I had a great time doing something other than going to Wal-mart or to the farm to play. Now we just have to find something to do this week.

I love this lilac with it's two tone color. It also smells so good.

Zoe trying to get some food, I mean lilacs.

"This one looks good enough to eat."

"I think I'll try it."

"This is so good. Can I have some more please?"

Summer Has Arrived

Zoe is loving the outdoors. She loves to go for walks in her stroller around the farm. She also loves the new tree swing Aaron but up. She just wants to go, go, go. In her mind she is ready to walk but her body is not quite where yet. She pulls herself up to everything and then just lets go and falls over. She then gets mad that she feel over. I'm sure that she will be walking very soon. I already need a baby gate because she crawls all over the place and tries to eat the cat food or play in the litter box or even pull herself up to the bath tub and try to get in. There is never a dull moment with Zoe. Where are some pictures of her latest adventures.

Zoe is in the stage where she wants to feed herself. She does fine with finger foods but is still pretty messing with baby food. She sure had a lot of fun though.

Going for a ride in the stroller. I can put her in the stroller and she comes with me to feed the animals. She loves to watch the chickens and get kisses from the llamas.

What Can I Say... Zoe Is SOOOOO Cute!

Here are some pictures of Zoe from the last few weeks. It is amazing how time gets away from you when you have kids. I take back everything I ever said about people not putting up new stuff on their blogs very often. I have now turned into one of those people. I will try harder to do better.

My vampire baby. Her right front tooth has finally come in.

This is Zoe doing some Yoga. Her Cobra.

And Downward Facing Dog.
