Whirlwind Weekend

Zoey’s top lateral incisors are coming in! Those are the ones next to the top front teeth. Now, she has 6 teeth! We will be getting pictures up soon. They just cut through two days ago, so you can’t see much of them yet. I thought it was interesting how the tops came through before the bottoms did, even though her bottom front teeth came in first.

Zoey’s cold is still here. I am trying to take a lot of vitamin C for the both of us. My cold has pretty much gone away. She still has a bit of a runny nose. I don’t think it is slowing her down much though. So, I am happy to say her first cold is a minor one.

Let’s see what else. A few more interesting foods for the young princess. We have ventured into pear yogurt and white rice. I think she is just starting to get bored with food–or to have a preference. She doesn’t like avocados unless it is mixed up with something else. She is also starting to not just eat stuff because it’s on the spoon (maybe cause she has had it several times in a row). Nothing like trying to shove food in a closed mouth.

She is now doing this diving thing on our bed. She starts sitting up and just uses her whole body to dive into the bed, head first. Unfortunately, she tried to do that on the kitchen floor, too. She learns quickly, that one. She also is like a little birdie… I am eating food, and she opens her mouth up right next to mine as if to say, “feed me, feed me!” Her new favorite video is Baby Bach. She laughs and claps her hands when the chickens walk on and say "Bach, Bach, Bach." She also squeals and claps her hands for Oprah, and for some silly headache commerial featuring an African American woman. I think she was Black in another life.

Thanks again to Grandma Arlene and Aunt Bev for giving Zoey more jammies. She is toasty warm now. She especially loves her T-Rex and the Pretty in Pink ones. They are super soft.

The whirlwind has begun. The gig season has arrived. I have been doing rehearsals and gigs and teaching all weekend. Today was a rehearsal plus two services up in Edmonds this morning, then the Seattle Bach choir concert doing Bach Cantata 19 and a snoozer of a Haydn mass, plus a few other ditties, in the afternoon. I am beat. I will be trying to cram as many students in before and then after Thanksgiving as I can, but we will have Thursday and Friday freeeeee! Free to clean up the garage, that is. I have been making quite a bit of headway. It has really been fun to go through my sweetie’s paperwork from circa ‘91 and recycle it all! (Okay, shredding some of it…) I also found some Canadian money! Woohoo! I found his transcripts from U of O that say "do not open." He opened them. Wow, an A in Shakespeare. (Thou didst a good job, sweetie!)

Let the season begin!
