Zoe is 1/3 of a year old!

Zoe is four months old today. It has been a time of firsts -- first smiles (big toothless grins are a regular treat for us these days), first sounds (her vocabulary of coos and squeals is rapidly expanding), first rolling over (okay, one roll and it surprised her as much as it surprised dad when she suddenly flipped from front to back on her play gym), first full night of sleep (the first time she slept for 8 hours in a row we were convinced that something had to be wrong), and most

importantly, first boat ride (on Papa's big boat!).

Rob is staying at home full time with Zoe now and loving it -- our days consist of lots of reading, music, walks through the park and Zoe's daily exercise routine (crawling, sitting, rolling and standing practice). With her Babushka and Gramps right next door, and Nana and Papa only a quick ferry ride away, Zoe has been enjoying lots of quality time with her grandparents as well.

Tara is happily back at work at Real Change, who have great about letting her keep her own schedule and adjust to life as a working mother.

We are looking forward to our first family get away next weekend. We'll be going to Neah Bay to celebrate Rob and Tara's second wedding anniversary. We'll report back with our adventures, but for now enjoy these photos of Zoe's first four months.
