New Car seat

I finally bought a new car seat for Zoe.. she is going to be out of her infant seat and facing forwards! I really should have done it about a month ago... her poor little legs were getting cramped.

Zoe is very proficient at putting change in her piggy bank.. last night (the night she refused to go to sleep.. it took a 10pm car ride by dad to get her to sleep).. but before the night night ride, she ran back and forth about 20 times, from dad to the bank to me she loved it.. so much fun watching her just run about.

We have a new nanny starting on Monday and are very excited (Anna)... although Zoe was just starting to bond with Vicky, I think she will very quickly like Anna (she's 40-something, has an 11 year old daughter, and has nanny'd since she was 18).

Oh, and the day I'd rather forget: wednesday.. I was playing with Zoe before her nap and I headed to work.. we went up to the resevoir behind our house (its all cemented and lawned over.. I thought it would be a good place for her to run around).. she was running around in our front yard, then the neighbors front yard, and the other neighbors, I couldn't get her off of their steps.. so we went up the reservoir... well she played well, in the rocks, grabbing moss, then just bolted off the edge (about 8").. rolled an got a good knock on her head.. I was so worried, almost skipped my meetings.. but Bruce talked me down.. she was fine.. didn't pass out or throw up (which was the same questions the Nanny asked when I told her to watch her and her eyes carefully over the day).. so she survived that one, just to get a purple bruise on the other side of her head after dinner when she was doing the same crazy running around.. I was done.. I wanted to lock the two of us up in padded cell... it was more knocks on the head than one baby or mama should take.

She is now getting unruly at resturaunts.. we went to Earl's .. this kind of bar/resturaunt that has college girls in small black skirts and white shirts with tons of makeup.. trying to look all NY run way.. always interesting to watch how different girls "do it up".. anyway Zoe found this ramp and stairs which she could circle about 10 times.. and did.. we ate in shifts.. it was hard to hold her back.

ah, tonight we eat at home.
