yogurt, anyone?

In an effort to expand Zuzu's repertoire of mealtime fare, lately we've been introducing a variety of new foods. Anyone who has seen Zuzu attempt a new food, appear to dislike it and try again can attest that her willingness to eat what's put in front of her was not inherited whatsoever from her mother, who was labeled as "picky from birth". Thankfully so far she seems to have gotten Ty's genes for food tasting; he will eat anything and everything placed in front of him unless he's seriously ill or is served mushroom stroganoff, a big mistake from early in our marriage and the only time Jenn has ever seen him refuse a meal. Case in point: the other day we tried to feed her some plain yogurt, her introduction to sour(ish) food. The result? Hilarious. Perhaps you will find it entertaining too.

fun with every day objects

Though Zuzu received plenty of actual toys for Christmas, we still find ways to make use of things around the house to keep her entertained.

If you like the baby, or if you loved the onesies (see earlier post) then check out http://www.NoBabyNoDesigns.etsy.com to see both. Sorry, baby not for sale -- but the onesies are!

first freckle

There it is in all its glory, right in the middle of the top of her foot: Zuzu's first freckle.

At first we thought her foot was dirty. A bath didn't help the teensy spot disappear.

"Has Zuzu scratched her foot?" we asked. A couple of days later it was still there.

"Aha! Her little slippers are rubbing her feet!" we hypothesized. But even wearing only socks, the spot was still there every night when we undressed her.

Finally it is bigger than a grain of salt, so we figure it's going to hang around for a lifetime.

A freckle has never looked so cute (at least to us).

Meet Zuzu the supermodel. A local artist was looking for some babies to model onesies featuring his designs, and of course we needed no excuse to photograph our little one even more. Now that Zuzu has entered a very mobile stage, photographing her sitting up has become a challenge. Thankfully between a patient daddy, a mommy dangling ribbons off camera, quick reflexes and lots of odd noises and cheering coming from the two of us, we managed to capture some good ones. Like the onesies? Let us know, we’ll point you in the right direction to own one yourself.
