weigh in

today zoe had her last check up before we head overseas. she weighed in at a massive 7.1 kg (90%), with a length of 67.5 cm (97%) and her head circumference was 41.5 cm (50%). strange that these three measurements can be so vastly varied on the percentile scale but the nurse assured me all is within normal limits! wonder how zoe's growth will react to all the yummy german, italian and austrian influenced mothers milk!

pinky

surfers?

jens and andreas fancy themselves as youthful, girl magnet surf gods and come to think of it doesn't andreas remind you a tad of the hoff?

andreas from

our dear friend andreas came to visit all the way from .....

toe eating

zoe has taken to eating, sniffing and kissing her toes!

armidale

before boarding our flight to armidale marc taught zoe all about flying... the flight went surprisingly well. a few confused looks, a cuddle followed by a nap and we were already in armidale.



in armidale we met up with mum and dad...

lisi and the lovely jarrott family (forgot to take a photo of the whole family!)...

alot of our time was spent with zoe practicing to be a model, getting oodles of cuddles and being taught lots of new songs by mary.

zoe didn't know what to make of armidale frisbee...

upon leaving the fields zoe was still confused, i had regained my composure but mum was still questioning 'home', 'away' and where your bags go?!?

the flight back proved to be a tad more trying, with lots of whining and boob refusal. zoe was very happy to be greeted by the familiar surrounds of her change table matt, some nappy free time and that salty scent in the bondi air.

winter woolies

given it is still snowing in germany and only just cracking temps above o°c we thought we'd try out some of our winter woolies in preperation...

reflections

zoe is loving her own reflection, although she struggles deciding what to look at more, herself or mum! as you can tell from this snap though, her own face does seem to be soooo much more amusing!

shocked

has jane shocked zoe or perhaps fluffy coco the cow or perhaps even the fact that we finally sold the bloody corolla....yipeeee! so now we are a one car family again.

toy tuggling

today zoe and i, well really only i as it was too sunny for zoe, went for swims at a beach pool south of coogee. everytime i came up to check on her she seemed to have acquired some other babies toy....hmm so what does this say about zoe's character?

clonk

the other night we were standing in the kitchen, preparing one of our usual late dinners, when there was a loud thud in the living room, followed by two seconds of silence - and then a high-pitched squeal. what could have happened? we had left zoe lying on her big comfy blanket, in the middle of the room. looked safe. but we underestimated her urge to move. so she actually roled over not only once but twice and and in the process cleared the blanket, landing on the floor boards. nothing serious, but enough to upset her. some soothing words and a bit of distraction by being carried around quickly did the trick. still, little over a week ago, she hardly managed to turn over onto her stomach - now she's already rolling around. before we know it she'll be chasing the boys...

up close and personal

happy napper

listening to mum and uncle marc blabbering on is mighty tiring...

hanging with uncle marc

marci and i hung out with a grumpy zoe at the mall today for lunch...suppose even babies can be moody!

pram joggin

nic and i went for our first pram jog around centennial park today. still don't have the technique totally sorted and i must admit tis a triffle difficult as well....steering, chatting, dodging the walking prams and having to deal with my top heaviness as well!

papa's pedicure

just as zoe's stomach is my domain, zoe's nails are jens's.....zoe hasn't yet learnt to appreciate a good session of nail care.
