You are not seeing double!
We play like this a lot now, but only today has it been captured in pixels.
MWAH!
(Am I the best big sister ever or what?)
REINFORCEMENT MWAH!
I forgot that Zoe doesn't like toddler kisses--and Dad has been teaching her both standup (sit-up?) techniques and some ground work.
Toddler toss!
This is Zoe's "Where do you think YOU'RE going?" look.
Aaaargh!
Zoe goes for the pin!
Ba ha ha ha ha!
No, seriously, don't cross Zoe.
Stuffed doggie!
Zoe and I like to read together sometimes.
I used to read these books when I was a kid.
Good times.
Sometimes I practice reading to my zoo animals instead of Zoe, since the zoo animals aren't experts in submission grappling.
So THAT'S the difference between a chicken and a duck, guys.
It's all explained right here.
Hey Klondike--you listening?
It's hard to teach old bears new tricks.
Right?
Dad set out to capture Zoe's ample adiposity before she levels out.
Zoe can't wait to level out.
The appetite is still there, though.
Uh oh.
More next week! Let's be careful out there!
Dad assures me that I'm pretty much the best pianist since R.I. Feldman first laid fists on a keyboard.
Oh! That's my sister Riley?
Fascinating.
Anyhoo, yeah. I'm a piano expert.
I also have a lamb rattle!
Ba ha ha ha!
This song is called "Smash."
Mom and Dad got out the Poor Man's Backdrop! Time to have my first bite of food!
Hm. Riley said rice cereal is yucky, but I could get used to this. I think the trick is ...
... to eat it like you mean it!
Ba ha ha ha ha!
Trough me!
That's good paste right there.
I learned this move from Riley herself.
Enough of this. Gimme the spoon.
There you have it, folks! I hope you enjoyed my first rice cereal as much as I did. Thanks, and come again.
Mom and Dad like "Thomas the Tank Engine" so much, they went to ride him today. They even took me along so they wouldn't have to leave me home alone.
I got this Thomas Tummy Tattoo to play along. It was a fun day, even though I kept asking "Where's Thomas?" while we were riding on him. The whole thing is a little confusing.
Choo Choo!
We all had "hobo lunches," which were PB+J and Fritos (Yay!) inside a bandana.
Zoe made good use of her bandana. Now she's talking about "rebuilding the carb" on her stroller.
This guy kept sitting in everyone's picture. I was all like "Personal space, dude."
Zoe, of course, had no issues with Al at all.
Speaking of Zoe, dad pointed the 85 at her a lot today.
She's still rocking the Blue Steel pose when she feels like it.
She calls this one Le Tigre.
Ba ha ha ha ha!
She rolls over from her tummy now. This is her in mid-roll.
My sister is not un-cute.
See?
She does have monkey feet, which is how you know she's a Feldman.
Ba ha ha ha ha!
EXXXXCELLLENTT.
Zoe is working on her hypnosis skills. Using this look, she can already hypnotize the squirrels in the yard. It's only a matter of time now.
I put on my tutu and new Bunny Helmet all by myself.
Dad says he's already contacted my future high school to get this one into my yearbook.
