Today Zoie decided that her ever growing abilities were not developing fast enough, so she decided to take things into her own hands.She went up and down the stairs a gazillon times until she could go up and down without holding onto the railing! The whole time shouting "Papagotyou" (translated as Papa I got you........meaning Papa you better watch me and make sure I don't fall).After about 15

Zoie is changing so fast!-She now can see over the dinner table without standing on her toes-Walk backwards-Go up and down stairs forward (and sometimes backwards)-Run around the block or to the play ground (2 blocks away)-Climb on to the "big chairs" when it's time to eat-Catch a pillow or ball-Jump and spin aroundEvery day she is trying to communicate by using more and more words, some in

It's been awhile since I've blogged last....oops! Zoie has grown sooooo much and made such great progress, that it seems hard to keep up sometimes!First off, we had a great photo-shoot from a friend of ours. You can see a few of the many, many great pictures she took by following this link to her blog: Leslie's Blog Make sure you visit her professional site as well for more of her great work:

Today, we took Zoie out to test her new sand toys. She really enjoyed digging in the sand and smashing the sand towers that we built her.We brought along a bucket for her to put sand in, but she mostly used it to taste the sand. She used it to put sand onto her drinking cup and then proceeded to taste it. I told her not to put into her mouth, but she wouldn't listen. So, she found out for

Zoie really enjoys going to the playground. We prefer the one on post because it has more things that are her play age.She had the most fun in the Sandbox. She likes rolling in it and grabbing the sand with her little fingers. We bought her some toys to play with in the sand and she'll go and test them this afternoon. I will write about it went in my next post.

Wow, it's been six months since the last post.......Zoie is already 1 year old!She's been walking since the 1st of January 08, the date is easy to remember;)Her first birthday party was great. With lots of people and of course presents. She really enjoyed all the attention she got from the visitors.I will post more in the next few days. Probably some posts dated back, since Zoie has changed so

I really like my new teeth, now I can chew stuff, and chewing is so much fun!Her teeth all came in almost at the same time. Poor Zoie, at least she didn't cry too much during the ordeal.

Es faellt uns schon seit ein paar Tagen auf. Jedesmal wenn wir fertig sind sie zu wickeln oder sie von ihrer Spielecke auf den Arm nehmen moechten, streckt sie ihre Arme nach uns aus. Das ist vielleicht schoen zu sehen. Da wird uns direkt warm ums Herz! Zeigt sie uns damit, dass sie ihre Eltern gerne hat? Im Moment ist das auch noch schoen, zu sehen wie sie uns braucht. Doch wenn sie erst einmal

Zoie sass auf ihrer Spielwiese und war mit ihren Spielsachen beschäftigt.Ich sass nicht direkt neben ihr und beobachtete sie aus einem Blickwinkel.Plötzlich klatschte sie in ihre Hände. Erst dachte ich es sei Zufall, aber als sie es mehrmals wiederholte war sicher sie hat schon wieder etwas Neues gelernt.Wahnsinn, unser Schatz wächst so schnell!

Wir waren am Überlegen welche Version an Spielzeug wir ihr besorgen sollen, damit sie auch mal im Stehen spielen kann und ein paar Schritte laufen kann. Nach mehreren Vergleichen entschieden wir uns fuer das Spielzeug Bright Starts.Es ist ein runder Tisch auf dem verschiedene Spielsachen aufgebaut sind. Um den Fuß des Tisches ist der Sitz anhand einer Manschette befestigt. Später also, kann man

Wir üben schon eine Weile, Zoie langsam auch an festes Essen zu gewöhnen. Bisher war sie aber nicht so recht daran interessiert. Meistens drehte sie ihren Kopf zur Seite oder hat es wieder ausgespuckt. Um das Thema "Brei essen" nicht zu einem Albtraum werden zu lassen, machten wir eine Pause und gaben ihr ihre geliebte Milch und Schmelzflocken.Mit neuem Mut versuchte ich es heute dann noch einmal

Today, we took Zoie out and about in the baby carrier. I have carried her in it before but she had always faced towards my chest, because she was so small and couldn't keep her head stable.Zoie, had so much fun, that she was cheering and screaming with excitement the whole time!I thought she would get excited and then relax and enjoy the view, but she kept laughing and kicking the whole walk, I

Der Winter steht vor der Tür!Und deshalb war ihre liebe Oma so nett, ihr den neuesten Schrei diesen Winters von Sterntaler zu besorgen. Dankeschön Omi!Natürlich hat Zoie wieder eine große Auswahl an Mützen, die sie Euch vorführen möchte.Hier ist schon einmal das erste Modell, fuer die anderen Mützen muss Zoie erst noch Modell stehen........oder sitzen.Viel Spaß beim Schauen!

Heute wird unser Schatz schon ein halbes Jahr alt! Wir können es gar nicht fassen das es schon 6 Monate her ist, das wir ins Krankenhaus gefahren sind.....Wie jeden Mittag nach dem Essen, und das Wetter es zulässt, sind wir eine Runde spazieren gegangen. Aber nicht wie gewöhnlich mit dem Kinderwagen, sondern mit dem Baby Björn. Zum ersten sass Zoie mit ihrem Rücken zu Papas Brust, so dass sie

Heute haben wir ein paar Seifenblasen für Zoie geblasen. Sie versucht gerne sie zu fangen und beobachtet sie aufs Genauste. Ruben konnte ein paar gute Bilder schießen und hier zeigen wir Euch eins davon.

Zoie bekommt ihren ersten Zahn! Nachdem eine Bekannte darüber schrieb, das ihr Töchterchen ihre ersten beide Zähne hat, war ich natürlich neugierig und fühlte Zoie's unseren Kiefer auch einmal. Man konnte noch nichts fühlen, aber ein leichter transparenter Schimmer war zu erkennen. Ich hoffte immer nur, dass Zoie sich etwas länger Zeit nehmen würde damit, aber wie es die Natur eben will.Bisher

Ich weiß, es ist schon so lange her seid der letzten post, sorry!Gestern waren Ruben & ich mit Zoie am Herumalbern, und da fing sie so sehr an zu Lachen das wir beide uns kaum halten konnten.Wir haben das schon öfter mit ihr gemacht, aber gestern hat es ihr besonders gut gefallen. Das nächste mal werden wir sie dabei auf Video aufnehmen, damit wir es später als Erinnerung haben.Um Euch nicht

Ein Tag vor ihrem 18. Wochen Geburtstag hat Zoie herausgefunden sich zu drehen.Als sie auf ihrer Spielwiese lag und an ihrem Spielzeug knapperte, drehte sie sich auf die Seite. Das ist aber mittlerweile schon nichts mehr besonderes, das macht sie doch mit links. Schon die letzten Tage bemerkten wir aber, wie sie immer wieder versuchte sich weiter zu drehen, die Kraft oder Technik reichte aber

Heute hatte Zoie ein kleines Photo shooting, allerdings zu Hause mit Papa als Photograf.Zoie's Tante, Meike hat bald Geburtstag und da moechten wir sie mit einem tollen Bild von Zoie ueberraschen. Das Kleidchen was sie auf dem Bild traegt, hat sie von Meike geschenkt bekommen, und das muessen wir natuerlich festhalten solange es passt (ist ja so eine Sache mit dem schnellen Wachsen).Es ist gar

For the last 2 nights Zoie has slept in her own room!After about 3 weeks sleeping thru the night, and the fact that her bassinet sleeper is almost too small, so we've transferred Zoie into her new crib (which is much larger) in her own room. Now, I think Zoie is sleeping more than us, since we keep waking up and checking on her.Since we are using a wireless monitor that has pretty decent night

Since this week, Zoie is rolling on her side by herself! It's really amazing how fast she is improving. Just last week she was just lying their, and now she is semi-mobile. In a month or two she might be mobile enough to crawl around the house.For now, semi-mobile is just fine!Seit Anfang dieser Woche, kann sich Zoie selbststaendig auf die Seite rollen. Zuerst dachten wir es sei nur ein Zufall

Slowly, but surely, Zoie is gaining more control of her hands. She can now grab most things one the first or second try vice the 4th or 5th. She is also sticking everything in her mouth that she grabs, and then tries to taste it, sometimes she licks the object she has in her hand, but most of the time she ends up licking or tasting her own hand...LOL!Or as Zoie says it......"Bla, bla, bla....

Zoie's Oma war so nett, und hat ihr ganz viele huebsche Muetzchen besorgt. Da die Grosseltern weiter weg wohnen und wir nicht mal eben dort hinfahren koennen um die Sachen in Person vorzufuehren, dachten wir, eine online Modenschau sei doch auch nicht schlecht.Um ein bischen positve Werbung fuer diese Firma zu machen. Es ist die Firma Sterntaler im wunderschoenen Westerwald. Ich habe dort immer

Heute habe ich mich mit einer Freundin getroffen, deren Eltern aus Amerika zu Besuch sind. Ihre Eltern habe ich letztes Jahr Weihnachten kennengelernt"als ich noch einen dicken Bauch hatte". Jetzt wo Zoie geboren ist, wollten sie die kleine Maus natuerlich kennenlernen.Wir trafen uns in einem Einkaufszentrum. Ich war total nervoes wie alles klappen wird, das ich nichts vergesse und ob Zoie schoen

Langsam aber sicher hat Zoie eine Essens/Schlaf-Routine. Der Kinderarzt sagte uns schon bei unserem letzten Besuch, das wir uns wegen ihrem Rythmus keine Sorgen machen brauchen. Das wuerde sich von ganz alleine einrenken. Und siehe da... 4 Wochen spaeter ist es auch so. Letzte Nacht hat sie von 21:00 bis morgens um 4:30 Uhr geschlafen. Die morgendliche Zeit ist schon seid ein paar Tagen standard

Immer, wenn Ruben Zoie umzieht, haben die Beiden viel Spass miteinander. Zoie ist immer schoen geduldig, auch wenn es bei Papa einmal laenger dauert. Sie ist eben einfach ein Spatz!When ever Ruben changes Zoie, they seem to have a lot of fun. Zoie is so easy going and patient, even if Papa takes a little longer (or gets her arm stuck). She is just a sweetie!

Diesen schoenen Schnappschuss haben wir gestern gemacht!Ich bin dabei Bilder von ihr zu schiessen bei der sie jeweils einer der Muetzen traegt, die sie von ihrer Oma geschenkt bekommen hat(und das ist einer davon). Das dauert aber leider laenger als ich dachte. Denn die kleine Maus kann ja noch nicht auf Kommando still halten, und deshalb sind mehr Bilder verwackelte als gute dabei sind. Ich

Gibt es ein Mass wieviel und lange die Kleinen weinen muessen damit man erkennt das alles in Ordnung ist?Heute

Sie hat sich schon super entwickelt seid sie auf der Welt ist.Als wir unser Abendessen am vorbereiten waren, hielt Ruben sie auf dem Arm und ploetzlich hat sie "laut gelacht". Zoie lacht den ganzen Tag ueber sehr viel, aber das war bisher immer nur ein stillel laecheln. Wir waren beide so erstaunt, haben Zoie angeschaut und sie lachte

Wir haben ja schon einmal erwaehnt das Zoie nicht das typisch immer schlafende Baby ist.Um ihr das Einschlafen angenehmer zu gestalten, haben wir ihr Kindermusik heruntergeladen. Vom Rythmus und Tempo gute Einschlafmusik.Zoie mag die Musik gerne, so sehr, das sie sich immer erst die ganze Liste der Lieder anhoert, und erst dann einschlaeft. Zuerst dachte ich das sei nur Zufall, aber es ist

As you can see, Zoie was a little surprised at the look of her website.Lindsey from Splat design, modified my blog so that I could you use the New blogger features. So, I'll be adding some things here and there for the next few days.Wie man auf dem Bild gut erkennen kann, Zoie war etwas ueberrascht ueber ihre neu gestaltete website.Lindsey von Splat design hat kleine Aenderungen des blogs fuer

Today, I finally took a few pictures of Zoie enjoying the Mobile above her changing table. When I first put it up I didn't think that she would notice it or enjoy it very much. Now every time one of us changes her we let her enjoy her "happy flowers"(they have little happy faces on them), for as long as she likes. I also placed a small infant mirror in the middle of the mobile to make it more

Here we see our little Super Star taking a quick power nap after a little "tummy time training" by her Papa. She always looks so relaxed and content while sleeping. :o)

Heute morgen hatte Zoie ihre Hueft Sonografie. Normalerweise wird diese bei der U3 gemacht, aber der Kinderarzt hatte nicht die noetigen Geraete. Somit sind wir zu einem anderen Kinderarzt gewechselt, der voll ausgestattet ist und noch dazu sehr nett und einfuehlsam mit den Babies umgeht.Zoie lag auf der Seite in einer speziellen Unterlage fuer die Untersuchung. Sie lag dort recht gemuetlich, und

Mal wieder ein Bild des Tages. Dieses Bild findeich so super schoen, denn man sieht wie Zoiesich weiter entwickelt. Sie macht regelrechteGymnastikuebungen wenn sie auf dem Rueckenliegt.Marion finds this picture really cool, because it shows our little gymnast practicing her flexibility routine after a quick changing.Zoie is starting to wiggle her arms and legs a lot more now.

Gestern hatte Zoie ihr ersten Arzttermin. Um zu schauen wie die Maus waechst und sich entwickelt. Zu unserer Beruhigung ist alles prima! Der Arzt war ganz erstaunt, wie toll sie ihren Kopf schon halten kann. Er sagte Zoie kann ihren Kopf schon so lange wie ein 4 Monate altes Baby halten. Das hat uns riesig gefreut!Waehrend der Arzt die anderen Reflexe kontrolliert hat, und er sie hoch in die

Today's pic shows Zoie in a playful mood while hanging out with her papa!I don't know why she is so happy, I don't think it was anything I did....she probably just passed gas and is feeling really good about it....lol!Although, Zoie laughs a lot, most of the time it's just random, not a whole lot that I do gets her to laugh while I'm doing it, but that doesn't stop her dad from acting like a

I've have finally convinced my wife to start posting.... so you may see posts in German and English. For our German friends and family members that don't use English very much, you can now catch up with Zoie's progress. For those of you that can't read German, I'll add a quick translation at the end of the post (so don't forget to look for it at the end of the post). I won't translate it word for

Heute haben wir Zoie's bunte Spielwiese aufgebaut.Sie ist wie ein grosses Puzzle zusammengesteckt und hat das komplette Alphabet. Noch kann sie mit den Buchstaben nichts anfangen, aber zum Liegen und Spielen ist sie trotzdem schoen.Da die Maus nicht besonders viel vom Schlafen haelt, ausser natuerlich nachts, dachten wir, es ist eine schoene Idee Zoie nicht immer im Kinderwagen liegen zu haben,

Yesterday was passport day! We turned in her passport and US citizenship paperwork. Even though she is an infant she is still required to have a passport while traveling abroad.So here are couple of pics that we took for her passport.We were told 8 to 10 weeks......after that Zoie can travel the world!

After a quick visit to the changing room......Zoie is newly dressed and ready to go.This outfit was much too big, just 2 weeks ago....it's amazing how fast she is growing and changing!

This morning, Zoie had her first colic-like attack, sometime around 04:30. She just started crying and wouldn't stop.....made us feel really bad, since she has never really cried in pain, only to let us know when she was hungry or when she wanted some attention.We tried to make her feel better, but no matter what we did it, didn't seem to help. We felt so helpless! After changing her, trying to

Zoie's sight has really improved in the last few days! She is now able to follow me with her eyes and tries to follow her mobile as it goes around and around.In fact, she was able to keep eye contact with me the whole time we were out for a walk!Occasionally, I tested her by going from one side of the stroller to the other, but she didn't loose track of me once during the whole 15 minute walk (

Zoie is definitely is starting to laugh more and more.... I can't get her to laugh every time but I'm sure having fun trying.Here we have Zoie showing off her infectious laugh!

Got a new blog design from Splat designs, the design is so original and Lindsay was easy to work with. I just let her know what we wanted and she designed it, then kept us updated every step of the way.So, go check out Splat designs and see what Lindsay can do for you!

Today, since it was almost 80 degrees, we took Zoie on her first real outing! I even got to test out her new Baby Bjorn carrier (look for a review of that later).Since this is the first time we took Zoie out for such a long period of time, we made sure we had everything we thought we would need. What we brought with us was perfect, including the extra outfit.....which really came in handy!On this

Today's, Pic of the Day is showing Zoie sleeping soundly in her bassinet.A friend of ours told us about a trick to help our little Zoie sleep better! All you great moms (and dads) might know it as the old "roll up a t-shirt that Mom was wearing" trick.Which worked pretty well. Little Zoie was really tired but just couldn't get to sleep, after putting in the rolled up yellow shirt (on the right),

Zoie is starting to see a little better. She is no longer cross-eyed and tries to follow my face from left to right ....... so her little eye muscles are developing fine!Unlike a baby's hearing, which is fully mature by the end of his first month outside the womb, the sense of sight develops gradually over 6 to 8 months, at which point your baby will see the world almost as It looks like well as

Once again Zoie was able to find some time during her busy schedule to do a photo shoot with mom.Zoie preferred to grace the digital image maker with her famous "is it time to get up?" look.While mom is trying not to show how happy little Zoie makes her...lol.

Today Zoie received a cool new outfit (gift) from Italy! A friend's wife picked up the cool little chicco cow pajama/outfit while visiting family in Italy as a present for Zoie.It came in a neat, milk carton looking package. Although, it's currently a little too big, in a week or 3, I'm sure it will fit perfect! When Zoie is big enough to wear it, I'll be sure to post a pic.Besides getting a cool

Today we took Zoie on her first walk! Didn't quite make it around the block, but did get about 5 minutes in the stroller before she started to sing. No worries, soon little Zoie and mom will be walking champs. As long as the weather holds we might be able to do a family walk once this week before I get back to work.It's still a little chilly here (for my taste, I prefer the 80's) and the warmest

While reading up about "feeding your baby" in the "Caring for your Baby and young Child..Birth to Age 5" produced by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Couldn't take Zoie out for quick once around the block, because just as we were headed out the door the little one started to sing......I'm hungry! I did get a pic or two (while walking Iku, our Shar pei) of our neighborhood here in Rutesheim, Germany.Since, Zoie will be moving around a lot (being an international baby and all), I figured it would be neat to post pics of Zoie's surroundings as
