thoughts on target
...the sad truth is, I don't like Target.
Mommy worked again yesterday, and Daddy and I had a great time without her. But then they wanted to get a few things accomplished around the house. Apparently they ran out of space to put books. So after they rearranged the books and CDs (which hadn't been reshelved since my birth) they decided to go to Target to get another book shelf. Maybe it was because we stopped to see Papa Ray first, but I think it was because of the fact I only took one afternoon nap (20 minutes). I was asleep when we first got to Target. After a few minutes I woke in a good mood. Mommy & Daddy think that when I'm around a lot of people and noise I tend to get overwhelmed. Well, I just started to get upset, and had a meltdown on the way home. Poor Mommy & Daddy.
Today was grocery shopping day - I love Kroger! The checkout people and baggers always talk to me and say how beautiful I am. Even if it isn't true :) But I know it is :)
Grandma & Grandpa Martin are coming over today - hopefully I'm awake and in a better mood. My Aunt Sarah & Uncle John are coming too. Mommy & Daddy are planning on going to dinner with me. I enjoy going places with them. Just not Target.

splish, splash
...so last night was bath night.
My Mommy & Daddy thought it would be fun to take some new pictures of me in the bathtub. When I was 4 weeks old they took some pictures of me in the tub, and I was crying horribly. I guess I enjoy bathtime MUCH better now.
After my bath I read my favorite book, "Goodnight Moon". I'm in my cute green bathrobe Mommy & Daddy got from their friends Shelly & Doug. Of course Daddy had to help me with the words, as I'm not sure I can read quite yet (I am learning though).
After my story, I was happy to pose for a cute picture in my comfy robe. Then I was all tuckered out and fell fast asleep moments later.

lunch with papa
...I was 11 weeks old yesterday!
I'm just the cutest baby! Mommy washed a bunch of new clothes for me to wear. Some are hand-me-downs and others are completely new ones. She took pictures of me in the pink pooh outfit her friend, Sandy and Sandy's mom, gave me. As you can see it fits so good, and is nice and comfortable for the crazy 90 degree weather we are having. Mommy loves taking pictures of me, and I have come to accept them too. I enjoy smiling and laughing when she takes them. Aren't I silly!?
We went to lunch with Papa Ray today at Panera Bread. Mommy loves the new Fuji Apple Chicken Salad (minus the cheese of course)! I enjoy people watching, and smiling at my Papa Ray making silly noises and faces. We always have a good time. Papa Ray seems to like to sing, "Hello Zoe" to the tune of "Hello Dolly." I get an awful kick out of hearing him sing. In fact, he can usually sing me to sleep with that song! Can you believe it?! I guess I don't require much to make me happy.
Mommy says that tomorrow I get to spend an hour and a half with Katie, Emily, and Mary Rose. They take lessons from Mommy on Friday afternoons from 1-2:30, and I get to play with the two that aren't in their lesson! I'm really looking forward to it...I hope I don't fall asleep like I usually do when fun people come over!

new clothes
...it's a good thing I have a cousin 2 years older than me!
My Mommy and I visited Aunt Kelly and Emma today. Mommy went over to get a massage, but ended up getting quite a few 3-6 month summer outfits for me! This proved to be really convenient when I pooped all over my cute pink shorts outfit! So now I'm in a pink flowered POOH outfit...and I look so darn cute! I am so glad Emma was born at the same time of year as me! Mommy was glad to get new clothes for me, since she realized that there was only a couple onsies for 3-6 months in the drawer. Now we have more and it'll be great to wear clothes that Emma never even got the chance to (she was in 6 month stuff by now).
My Nana's retirement party was fun last night. I was the hit of the party, as I was passed from one person to the next to smile and make their night. It's pretty great being a baby and making people smile. My Nana is going to love babysitting for me this summer, and I know she can't wait to be done with school.
...off to sleep I go...

comments to me
...since some of you have wondered
My silly Mommy had the "comments" link set to "member" instead of "anyone". She changed the setting, so now anyone can leave a comment! Mommy will have to read them to me, but don't let that stop you from writing one!

peek-a-boo
...just got back from another morning of Kindermusik.
Mommy & I just love Kindermusik class with Miss Mary at the Creative Music Center of Plymouth/Canton . My Mommy told me she used to teach Kindermusik to babies just like me, but now she gets to go to classes as a parent. She told me that she really enjoys taking the Kindermusik Village class, called Peekaboo I Love You! She never taught this class before, and she is having so much fun not having to worry about teaching it. Daddy says that he wants to take me to Kindermusik class in the fall while Mommy teaches piano and voice lessons on Saturdays. Between you and me; I think Daddy is a bit jealous that Mommy gets that special time with me each week.
Speaking of lessons...Mommy taught lessons yesterday, and like I had suspected, I was asleep the whole time Nana was here. Mommy didn't seem to be sad that I didn't wake up. I hadn't taken a nap all day, so Mommy didn't mind that I was asleep for three hours.
Tonight we are going to a retirement party for my Nana. She is a teacher, and in another couple of weeks she won't have to teach at her school anymore. I'm looking forward to spending lots of time with her this summer ;)

no more small sizes
...no more 0-3 month clothes for me!
Today Mommy seemed to be sad that she had to put more outfits away in the storage box. She put away the last of my 0-3 month clothes. I had two onesie-dresses that Mommy loved! One was yellow and one was white with a big pink flower (she took pictures of that dress). Unfortunately I only got to wear the yellow dress ONE time! Darn this Michigan weather! She told me that I had grown too big for the old dresses, and could now wear a few new ones! The picture on the top is me, today, in my jean sundress. My Mommy's friend, Keli gave it to me when I was born. You can see I'm very happy to be in a new outfit :) The outfit on the bottom is one my Aunt Kelly gave me and I'm quickly growing out of (even though the size is 0-6 months). I wore it on Friday, and Mommy hopes I get one or two more wears out of it. My Aunt Kelly says that she only paid $2 for it, so Mommy doesn't have to feel bad if I only wear it a couple of times. As much as Mommy wants me to grow, she is sad to have to say "goodbye" to beautiful clothes that people bought for me. I wish I could tell her that she will get to see all the gender neutral clothes again someday and she might even get to use the girl clothes again if she gives me a sister...
Mommy started back to work on Saturday. I didn't even know she was gone, as I slept right through her lessons (one hour total). Today my Nana gets to babysit me until Daddy gets home (Mommy works 2 1/2 hours tonight). I love my Nana, and can't wait to play with her! Of course I may fall asleep like I did with Grandma & Grandpa Martin yesterday. I'm a growing baby afterall, and I definitely need my beauty sleep.

every day is an adventure
...for those of you that don't know me...
I'm Zoe Elizabeth Martin. I was born March 23, 2005. At birth I weighed 7lbs 6ozs and was 19 1/2 inches long. Yes, I simply look like an average cute, pudgy, baby...but there is more to me than that. I have a wonderful parents: mom, Michelle & dad, Jim. They love me very much. We also live with three cats: Mia, Misty, and Milo. Every day I get to go on a new adventure, and I love to learn all about the world I live in. You can come visit me on my site each day, and you'll have the opportunity to experience my new world with me.
