ZooBoo!

As I mentioned in my post about Moira's 4th birthday, I had wanted to take her and a few friends to ZooBoo. It was something we did when I was a little girl, and I thought she would have a blast. Although we didn't do ZooBoo for Moira's birthday, I did manage to find a day where Moira, Hannah, and I could go--even Aunt Kate and Uncle Scott joined us for a bit. 


Moira told me at least a couple of months ago that she wanted to be Cinderella for Halloween. I decided that we would buy some accessories from Disney, and then my mom's friend fitted Moira's flower girl dress from last summer with a new blue bow. She L-O-V-E-S dressing up in the dress, the shoes, and all of the jewelry. Can't get enough of it. Throws temper tantrums on occasion when we ask her to take off the dress. Above you can see her showing off her shoes as we got ready to go to ZooBoo. 

And as for Hannah's costume, I looked for something to coordinate with Cinderella (like a mouse), but I couldn't find anything, and anyone who knows me knows that I'm not going to make something. So, I settled on this supercute owl costume. Everyone loved Hannah in this costume!




Aunt Kate and Uncle Scott joined us for a little while at ZooBoo. They were very good to Hannah and Moira. They helped both of the girls around the "obstacle course" that the Zoo sets up.






After traipsing all around the Zoo, collecting candy at various trick-or-treat stations, and playing at the playground, we made our way to the "party tent" that the Zoo sets up for Halloween. There was a bounce house, music playing, and various actvities the kids could participate in. You can see the video below of Moira having fun in the "party tent." 




All in all, it was a great afternoon at the Zoo for us. I had a wonderful time with my girls, and I think they had a lot of fun too.

Random Moments

I am still playing catch-up from all the photos we took over the holidays, and I have a few random ones that I want to share! Here they are: Moira's first official haircut. She was so good. I wasn't sure she would sit still, but she did. The stylist did a great job of keeping her entertained! Moira walking around in her "shoes." Moira is fascinated with shoes. She loves taking our shoes on and off. And she loves walking around in adult shoes. We went to the Eiteljorg on Martin Luther King day and Moira had fun exploring the Wild Wild West. You may recall that Moira's 2nd birthday party was pretty entertaining because Moira fell asleep in her high chair, and then she was completely overwhelmed by everyone singing Happy Birthday. Since then, we have had lots of family and friend birthdays, and she has mastered singing Happy Birthday. At this point, she sings Happy Birthday to just about anyone and anything--babies at a restaurant, the light, the birds......

To Hannah, With Love

Hannah, You, my darling baby girl, are growing up entirely too fast. By the time you were one, here’s what you were up to: On the Move Well, truth be told, you haven’t been that interested in moving.  You’re quite content to reach both arms in the air and look imploringly at mama or dada to pick you up. By the time you were 5 months, you rolled over, and by the time you were 10 months, you finally decided to crawl. Since then, you’ve become a very quick little girl on your knees, and you’re just starting to consider standing up and walking on your own. One of the cutest things you do is crawl while holding onto a baby stroller—it is quite a feat! I predict you’ll be about 16 months old before you walk, and that is fine with me. What did you say? Hannah, you are a talker. At a year old you have a few words in your vocabulary. They include the traditional words like “mama” and “dada.” Your very first word, however, was “Mo-ra” in honor of your big sister,...

Time flies!

It's hard to believe Moira is already 5 weeks old (today)! Here 's a quick recap: October 14th, 9:32am, Moira Joan Mackintosh came into the world. She was a healthy 7 lb, 14 oz, and 20.5 inches long. My labor was fast, but delivery was slower than I would have liked. On the whole, neither Moira nor I can complain . October 16th, we came home. I discovered after a couple of sleepless nights that Moira would only sleep for about 15 minutes in her bassinet. She preferred sleeping on someone or sleeping in her little swing. The first few weeks went by in a complete blur. We were all trying to get used to a new kind of normal. Moira and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out her preferences for eating and sleeping. Alan spent a lot of time trying to help his girls get as comfy as possible. We've had fun discovering the little things about Moira. She has dimples and so much dark hair. She has the cutest high-pitched hiccups. She loves it when her Dad holds her and paces with...
